As the maker of one of the best stereo speaker systems I've tried, the announcement of a new Q Acoustics M40 tower speaker system unveiled today (February 15) caught my eye. The floorstanding newcomer joins the popular M20 HD wireless audio system that has remained in place as part of my home office desktop setup since it arrived. This larger cabinet version claims extended bass performance (down to 38Hz), which means it should achieve richer and more engaging sound.
Unlike the recently announced KEF LSX II Lite bookshelf wireless music system that integrates both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, the Q Acoustics M40 is a Bluetooth-only setup just like its M20 sibling. As a stereo speaker system it's similarly configured with one powered speaker containing the built-in Class D amplification (rated at 2x 100W) that's linked to a passive speaker via a umbilical cable.
