Q Acoustics 5040 Home Cinema Package

Speaker package | £2475 | View offers whf.cm/5040i_HCP

Q Acoustics has already delivered a thoroughly impressive show with the 5040 floorstanding speakers, earning itself a What Hi-Fi? Award this year. So, naturally, the next step is to bundle those speakers with a set of standmount surrounds, a subwoofer and a centre channel – and now we have ourselves a 5.1 home cinema package.

Those 5040 floorstanders are the front speakers; you also get a pair of passive 5010 standmounts, a 5090 centre channel and the QB12 active subwoofer. Bear in mind that you will need stands for the rear speakers and centre channels, so don’t forget to factor Product of the Year.
