FOR Crisp, punchy, detailed and expressive; Easy to use
AGAINST Remote control could be nicer
Q Acoustics' approach seems to be 'in for a penny, in for a pound' when it comes to boosting TV sound.
Following the success of its Award winning Media 4 soundbar and, to a lesser extent, the M3 follow-up, the British brand is making its soundbase debut with the M2.
Immediate impact
As we close the disc tray on a Blu-ray copy of Neon Demon, the M2 doesn’t waste a moment in revealing its talents. The opening credits are not only a window into Cliff Martinez’s fantastically eerily, eclectic score, but also Q Acoustics’ pleasing tonality and potential elsewhere.
The downward-firing subwoofer digs deep to punch through the bassline, while the twin Balanced Mode Radiator speakers fight just as hard for the credit by delivering clear, sparkly chimes and energetic, synth-driven electronica.
