The speakers are connected with spring clips located behind. They also have holes so that you can hang them on the wall.
The cables for the front and central satellites are 3. The wooden subwoofer of the THX system has changed noticeably. The producer has improved efficiency in the LF range by adding the phase-inverter. Its hole is output to the side panel in the upper part. The subwoofer has its LF loudspeaker's cone facing the floor. The paper cone impregnated with varnish is 18 cm. The flexible corrugation is made of rubber. The LF loadspeaker's cone is protected from mechanical damage with a metallic grid.
The subwoofer stands on the legs 4 cm high. Each of the legs has a soft rubber pad to eliminate vibrations. The rear panel of the subwoofer has the following stuff: 5 RCA connectors for speakers; connector for the wired remote control; analog-ins for 6-channel connection; stereo minijack for connection of stereo sources; power connector. The remote control is not wireless. The cable connecting it with the subwoofer is 2. There is even a special support for the remote control of the same style.
There are 5 buttons on the remote control which are very hard to press and the volume controls produce unpleasant clicks. On the left panel there is a volume level indicator. You can control both the overall volume level and separately the central and real channels.
On the front you can find a headphones out minijack. The cable is 2. In the listening tests we aimed to find the differences in quality between the THX and its predecessor D. Besides, it's interesting to find out what the THX certificate allows for. In the tests we switched the systems instantly from one to the other and did find some slight difference. I liked the D more in playing the music than the THX.
The satellites play almost identically, maybe the D has a bit higher frequencies. The subwoofer of the same system plays more balanced and melodic.
So, answering the question what benefit do the new speakers get from the THX logo I can say that the sound of the new speakers is not better compared to the old ones, if not worse at all.
When switched on, the THX system produces no clicks thanks to the electronic control that turns off the speaker during transient processes in the amplifier. The D makes quite loud clicks. For its acoustic class, this system plays music quite good. Unfortunately, the speakers have a very pronounced direction of sound.
The tilt angle of the speakers provided by the stands is not great, that is why for deeper sound and effectiveness in the HF range you should either bend your head or direct the speakers at the listener to find the best location.
But the speakers lack high frequencies anyway. The cymbals and high-tech sound quite dim in the musical compositions. The mid-range frequencies are not that bad taking into account the form-factor of the miniature speakers.
At least, the sound is not very colorful and is not so crying to make listeners tired. The dialogs in movies are produced by the central satellite decently. You can reach a good 3D effect by properly placing the satellites. But you mustn't place the speakers farther from each other than 1. It works like point light - the farther the light source, the more pronounced its narrow directivity. The subwoofer of the THX system now has a phase-inverter.
That is why the output in the lowest frequency range is much greater in comparison with the subwoofer of the D model, but at the same time it lacks for the balance in the bass range. The lowest register lies heavy on your ears and the impression on the subwoofer is more negative. Nevertheless, there are no additional sounds and spurious middle frequencies in the sub's sound, and its volume reserve is sufficient for a computer corner. The systems of this class are meant only for computer corners.
However, even such systems can have very good sound and can be considered as some kind of a home theater. Conclusion Highs decent sound; pleasant exterior; wired remote control; headphone out; no clicks when the system is turned on. Lows the satellites without a HF speaker; high price.
