FPM6 With an enclosure height to match the height of 60-inch plasma screens, the FPM6 is the largest model in the FPM Series. Compared to the other models, its enclosure is not only longer, it's wider too, which allows the use of two larger Kevlar® cone bass/midrange drivers each side of the Nautilus tube-loaded tweeter. Higher output level capability and greater bass extension result, but timbre matching allows complete freedom to mix different models for left and right front, centre and surround if desired.

FPM5 With a height to match 50-inch plasma screens, the FPM5 is a 2 1/2-way system featuring a pair of Kevlar® cone bass/midrange drivers, either side of a Nautilus™ tube-loaded tweeter. The 2 1/2-way configuration, where one of the drivers is rolled off above 180Hz, ensures better horizontal dispersion when the speaker is used as a centre channel, enabling you to hear that all-important dialogue wherever you sit.

FPM4 The FPM4 uses the same Kevlar® cone bass/midrange drivers and Nautilus tube-loaded tweeter as the FPM5, but in a shorter enclosure that matches the height of 42-inch plasma screens, yet concedes little in bass extension. Like the FPM5 it's a 2 1/2-way configuration that allows wider dispersion of sound in the midrange; essential when used horizontally as a centre speaker. With complete timbre matching between the systems in the range, feel free to use a longer model at centre to harmonise with the longer dimension of the screen.

PV1 The PV1, although elegant and stylish, owes its curved shape to sound engineering principles, those of a pressure vessel, from which the initials in the name derive. From a simple bubble to a sophisticated deep sea diving bell, a spherical form is the ideal shape to accommodate pressure differences between the inside and outside of the enclosure; and there can be considerable pressures generated inside compact subwoofers. The intrinsic strength of the form enables a relatively thin wall construction to the aluminium enclosure, maximising the internal volume.
