This chapter gives advice on selecting the right AV loudspeakers, based
on the requirements of your AV system.

The AV 5140 Front Loudspeaker is the ideal choice for the main left and
right loudspeakers in an AV system, or for the rear surround speakers. The
AV 5120 Compact Loudspeaker is particularly suitable for use as the centre
speaker, but is also an excellent choice for the main left and right or rear
loudspeakers. The AV 5140 and AV 5120 are tonally matched, so the
balance of sound will be perfect whatever combination you decide on.
Using the AV 5140s as front loudspeakers
A recommended configuration is to use two AV 5140 loudspeakers as the
front loudspeakers, in conjunction with an AV 5120 placed either above or
below the television. The midrange units of the AV 5140s are at the ideal
height for providing natural reproduction of a film soundtrack when
positioned either side of a television screen.

The AV 5120 uses the same drive units as the AV 5140, so that sounds that
pan across and move between the loudspeakers remain convincingly
natural as they move. This ensures that you get a very realistic and natural
impression when listening to film and video soundtracks.
A pair of AV 5110 Local Loudspeakers are recommended as the rear
surround speakers due to their compact size and versatility, and an AV
5150 Active Isobarik Bass Loudspeaker is an excellent addition to the
system for dramatic cinema effects.
Using a pair of AV 5120 loudspeakers as main loudspeakers
The compact design of the AV 5120 loudspeaker makes it ideal for use as
the main loudspeakers in an AV system where you do not have room for
conventional floor-standing loudspeakers. They can be positioned on a
bookcase or shelf, or fixed directly to the wall using a Linn adjustable
BRAKIT.
