The supremely versatile A40 can be used vertically or horizontally to
provide electrifying audio realism characterised by soaring dynamics and
low distortion. Equipped with twin Apex bass drivers, the A40 excels at
low frequency depth and mid-band evenness over a wide listening area.
It radiates with the full force of a single 8" bass driver, but has the
advantage of superior power handling and a wonderfully smooth audio
consistency. What's more, the single bolt fixings for its drivers give
the longer A40 cabinet an especially rigid structure, banishing any hint
of boxy colouration, especially from on-wall positions. The A40's
slender profile and glossy lacquer finishes make it a match for
super-thin video displays: its beautifully engineered bracket allows for
forward and backward adjustment to align the speaker with the front of
the screen but also allows the A40 to tilt 22.5º upwards and downwards
for optimum setup.
Perfect for high quality sound where space is at a premium, and
devastating when teamed with the explosive AW-12 subwoofer in a 5.1
channel configuration, the A40 will deliver simply breath-taking audio:
discreet but oh so devastating.

BEST STYLE SPEAKER PACKAGE £2000+
"You certainly can't buy a better made, better finished or (to our eyes, at least) better looking package at the price."

Apex has the pecs
"...High-frequencies are smooth as silk, speech couldn't be clearer if
the actors were in the room and the rear soundstage is willfully
expansive. And with music, this system nailed the emotion and energy of
any recording I threw at it. Clean, full bodied vocals, metronomic
timing and wonderful detail reproduction make for a spine-tingling
listen and reveal it to be a fantastic all-rounder."

The holy grail of style speaker systems
"It offers the sort of powerful, insightful audiophile sound that you
don't automatically associate with satellite speakers, a result of the
astonishing build quality and clever technology that lies within each
unit."

Monitor Audio raises the style bar
"It's muscular when called upon, but articulate and beautifully
integrated too, with little audible sign of the crossover from speakers
to subwoofer."
