Five matched cabinets, bought once · review
The one complete system here that includes its own amplification — THX certified, with the amplifier in the subwoofer, so no receiver is needed.
The bottom line The complete answer for a room without a receiver — certified, self-amplified, and quoting a peak figure that says less than the certification does.
It amplifies itself. The subwoofer contains the amplification for all six channels, so no receiver is needed, no speaker cable has to be matched to an amplifier, and the whole system is one purchase.
A defined set of measured requirements — frequency response, distortion, output at a reference listening level — verified by testing. It is one of very few genuine standards in this catalogue, and it says more about what the system does than its wattage.
1 000 W peak, summed across six channels. That is how this class of product is advertised and it is not a measurement. The certification is the more informative claim.
Everything separable. The amplifier, the decoder and the speakers are one product; nothing can be improved on its own, and the whole system is replaced together.
Its own inputs rather than a receiver’s. That limits source switching compared with an AV receiver, and it is the practical consequence of the design that makes the system self-contained.

That the system met a defined set of measured performance requirements — frequency response, distortion, output at a reference level. It is a real standard with tests behind it, which distinguishes it from a badge a manufacturer awards itself.
As a peak summed across six channels, it is the standard way this class of product is advertised. It is not an RMS measurement and cannot be compared with one. THX certification tells you more about the system's real capability than the wattage does.
5.0 system — NO subwoofer · 2 floorstanders, 1 three-way centre, 2 two-way satellites · 1 150 W stated
A five-speaker set with no subwoofer — a 5.0 rather than a 5.1, which the page says first because it is the thing that is discovered at delivery.
Best for: A first surround system where the floorstanders can carry the low end, with a subwoofer added later.
≈ 170 €
Complete 5.1 system · ready to play · acoustic concept developed in Berlin · passive speakers with active subwoofer
A complete 5.1 package designed as one system rather than assembled from a range — five matched speakers and an active subwoofer, ready to connect to a receiver.
Best for: A first surround system where matching matters and assembling from components is not appealing.
≈ 530 €
4K UHD 3 840 × 2 160 · 4 000 ANSI lumens · 10 000:1 stated contrast · keystone · 3 W speaker
A 4K UHD DLP projector that states its brightness in ANSI lumens at a price where most of the shelf stops doing so — and a specification sheet that reads like a data table rather than a sales page.
Best for: A first 4K projector in a room where the light can be controlled and the machine can sit where the throw ratio wants it.
