German manufacturer Teufel has unveiled yet another speaker system in the shape of the System 5 which has been designed to deliver a more accommodating version of the System 5 THX Select 2 which debuted last year.
It has the same three S 500 FCR THX Select 2 satellite speakers at the front, and a pair of S 50D dipole speakers at the back. But unlike the full THX system, it makes do with a single S 5000 SW subwoofer with down-firing 300mm neodymium woofer (the THX system has two).
Teufel’s Florian Szigat said: “Many of our customers want the THX Select 2 experience, but their homes or budget can’t support the extra space required for these systems. At Teufel we don’t like to limit the experience our customers can have – in offering the System 5, users can have close to the full THX Select 2 experience without the added cost or space considerations of a second subwoofer.”
The Teufel System 5 is available now for £899. There’s also a Concert 5.1 version available for £999 which uses five S 500 FCR speakers for customers who can’t wall mount the dipole rear speakers.
