| Voix MPX 2.1 Speaker System Loud and clear - Speakers If you want to be the don of all house parties then these sensational speakers are a must-have! The design is sleek, stylish and not as bulky as its stereo counterparts. And as for decibels (54W), well… you need not venture to Ministry of Sound… Firstly, forget such speakers or gadgetry being targeted to men! Ladies, you need not worry here, the Voix MPX, only 1082 mm high, is straight-forward to set up, and more importantly to use. The two towers are controllable by remote control, thanks to its flashy sensor on the front panel. However, the clincher function of the Voix MPX would have to be the Split Channel Technology, whereby one speaker stand functions as both the left and right speaker – absolute genius! Sound-wise the quality is super clean, expect no muffling or static interference/feedback. Quite simply, the Voix MPX is the Ferrari of sound systems! Price: £269 |
