Standing just 71cm tall, the M40 features built-in Class-D amplification, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD and high-resolution optical and USB connectivity, finished in a warm Walnut veneer that works particularly well in traditional and contemporary interiors.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete powered stereo system\u003c\/strong\u003e – 2 × 50W RMS Class-D amplification with up to 2 × 100W peak output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-resolution Bluetooth\u003c\/strong\u003e – Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, AAC and SBC.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eC³ Continuous Curved Cone drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e – twin 125mm mid\/bass units combine powerful bass with excellent midrange control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24-bit\/192kHz digital audio\u003c\/strong\u003e – supported through both optical and USB connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile connectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e – connect a TV, PC, CD player, streamer or turntable with an appropriate phono preamp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Walnut micro-towers\u003c\/strong\u003e – serious stereo performance in a beautifully finished 71cm-high cabinet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M40 is ideal for anyone who likes the performance and scale of traditional floorstanding hi-fi but wants a considerably cleaner system. The speakers, amplification and DSP are engineered together, leaving just the two elegant micro-towers in the room rather than speakers plus an amplifier and multiple components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-left: 4px solid #d71920; padding: 16px 18px; margin: 24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNORTHXSOUTH BUYER’S BEST PICK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHi-fi performance, beautifully simplified.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Walnut M40 is one of our favourite solutions where sound quality matters but conventional hi-fi equipment simply takes up too much space. At only 71cm tall, these are unusually discreet floorstanding speakers, yet they have enough scale, bass and power to work as the main audio system in a substantial living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're especially good for customers combining music and TV listening. Bluetooth handles quick everyday streaming while optical, USB and analogue connectivity allow more serious sources to be added later. There is no built-in Wi-Fi streaming or HDMI ARC, so customers wanting a fully networked system can simply add a dedicated streamer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProper Stereo Without a Separate Amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M40 consists of one powered loudspeaker containing the amplification and control electronics and a matching passive speaker connected using the supplied 4m cable. This provides a genuine two-channel stereo system while keeping setup exceptionally straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in Class-D amplification delivers 2 × 50W RMS with peak output of 2 × 100W. Q Acoustics also uses onboard digital signal processing to optimise low-frequency extension, soundstage and the speakers' response according to their position in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eC³ Continuous Curved Cone Drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 125mm C³ Continuous Curved Cone mid\/bass drivers are fitted to each tower. The profile was developed to combine strong bass performance with controlled midrange behaviour and smooth integration with the 22mm tweeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a quoted frequency response extending down to 38Hz at -6dB, giving the compact M40 considerably more low-frequency authority than its dimensions suggest. A dedicated RCA subwoofer output is also provided for users wanting even greater bass extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Q Acoustics Cabinet Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact cabinet incorporates Q Acoustics' Point to Point™ internal bracing, strengthening areas of the enclosure most susceptible to unwanted vibration. Helmholtz Pressure Equaliser™ technology is also used to reduce internal pressure and standing waves that can colour the sound of a floorstanding loudspeaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DSP can be adjusted depending on whether the M40 is positioned near a corner, against a wall or in free space, helping maintain controlled bass in a variety of real-world rooms. The powered speaker can also operate as either the left or right channel for easier installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWireless and High-Resolution Listening\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth 5.0 gives the M40 an easy connection to smartphones, tablets and laptops, with support for aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, AAC and SBC. Compatible aptX HD devices can deliver audio up to 24-bit\/48kHz wirelessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor higher-resolution sources, USB Type-B and optical TOSLINK inputs support audio up to 24-bit\/192kHz. Optical makes the M40 an excellent two-channel TV sound system, while the RCA and 3.5mm analogue inputs make it easy to add traditional hi-fi sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse:
