With amplification built in, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, high-resolution USB and optical inputs, the M40 gives you a complete hi-fi system without the traditional stack of separate components.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerful active 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 support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eC³ Continuous Curved Cone drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e – twin 125mm mid\/bass drivers deliver deep, controlled bass and a detailed midrange.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHi-res wired audio\u003c\/strong\u003e – optical and USB connections support audio up to 24-bit\/192kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnect almost anything\u003c\/strong\u003e – ideal for TVs, computers, CD players, streamers and turntables with a built-in or external phono preamp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 71cm micro-towers\u003c\/strong\u003e – full-scale stereo performance without the size or complexity of conventional floorstanding speakers and an amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone considering a traditional amplifier and floorstanding-speaker combination, the M40 offers a compelling alternative. The amplification and digital processing are designed specifically around the speakers, while the compact cabinets make the system considerably easier to position in a typical living room.\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\u003eA brilliantly simple route into proper stereo hi-fi.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M40 hits a particularly attractive sweet spot: it sounds and behaves like a serious pair of floorstanding speakers but removes the need to choose and accommodate a separate amplifier. They are powerful enough for a substantial living space, yet at only 71cm tall they are far less visually imposing than most conventional floorstanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe particularly like them for customers who want one high-quality system for music and TV. Bluetooth makes everyday listening effortless, while optical, USB and analogue inputs allow the M40 to grow into a much more capable hi-fi setup. The only notable omission is built-in Wi-Fi streaming or HDMI ARC, so we would add a dedicated network streamer if app-based multi-room or lossless network streaming is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBig Sound Without the Hi-Fi Stack\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne M40 contains the amplification and electronics while the second speaker is connected using the supplied speaker cable. This keeps the system extremely simple: connect your source, plug the powered speaker into the mains and you have a full stereo system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in Class-D amplifier is rated at 2 × 50W RMS, with peak output of 2 × 100W. Because the amplification, DSP and loudspeaker drivers have been designed as one system, Q Acoustics can optimise the performance much more precisely than with an arbitrary amplifier-and-speaker combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eC³ Continuous Curved Cone Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach M40 uses two 125mm C³ Continuous Curved Cone mid\/bass drivers alongside a 22mm tweeter. The C³ profile combines the bass performance of a more traditional straight cone with the improved midrange control of a flared design, helping the M40 produce substantial low-frequency weight while retaining clarity through vocals and instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system reaches down to a quoted 38Hz at -6dB, impressive for cabinets of this size, while a dedicated subwoofer output is provided if you want to extend the system even further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for Real Rooms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ Acoustics uses several technologies developed for its passive hi-fi speakers inside the M40. Point to Point™ bracing reinforces key areas of the enclosure to reduce cabinet vibration, while Helmholtz Pressure Equaliser™ technology helps control internal standing waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn adjustable boundary EQ also lets the system compensate for whether the speakers are positioned in free space, close to a wall or near a corner. The powered speaker can be assigned as either the left or right channel, giving greater freedom when positioning the system around the nearest power socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth and High-Resolution Audio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth 5.0 supports aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, AAC and SBC. Compatible aptX HD devices can stream at up to 24-bit\/48kHz, while connecting a computer through the USB Type-B input supports audio up to 24-bit\/192kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optical input also supports up to 24-bit\/192kHz and makes the M40 an excellent stereo upgrade for a television. Analogue RCA and 3.5mm inputs accommodate traditional audio sources, while a turntable can be connected provided it has a built-in phono preamp or is used with an external one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse:
