Teufel Audio Concept C 500 THX PC Speakers

The entire system is so incredibly heavy it takes two people to move the sub-woofer alone with any level of safety,  while it may not carry across in the pictures, this sub woofer is huge clocking in at 50.7 x 21 x 47.5 cm and a weighty 12.9kg, this thing is a heavy weight sub by every definition.  Fitted with two 165 mm bass speakers and as you may have already figured, built to the highest level of precision and quality you could expect within this price range.

Around the back you have the Mic. Out socket for calibration, although this wasn’t included with the package, you also have your standard AUX line in, this is your main connection for audio devices and with the correct cables (again not provided) you can hook up just about anything to this input, from your console, line out from your stereo, tv, computer, its fairly straight forward and requires little more than attaching the cable to get this thing setup.

On the back we also have the Remote Control input for the hard wired remote, which I will take a closer look at in a moment, plus high quality connection points for your speaker cables, the cables are not included in this setup, which I found rather annoying given the set costs a whopping £450, some standard bell wire wouldn’t have been the end of the earth, but with such a high specification system you would be right to invest in some a few meters of quality cable, which shouldn’t set you back more than £20 for a good length to suit your needs, fortunately I already have some quality speaker wire to hand.

Everything around the back is where it should be, with a convenient voltage converter switch, power supply input (this cable was included thankfully) and the whopping great heat sink on the left hand side, although this system really didn’t get that warm when using, which I’ll take as a good sign that its not wasting a lot of energy.
The only gripe I have with this sub is that standby button on the front, it sticks out about 1inch and feels stupidly cheap, I fear that one day this thing will get caught on your jeans as you walk past and it will snap off, then you’ll be left with a £450 system that you can’t turn on, thanks to a cheap bit of plastic that in my opinion is poorly designed, given the smooth design of the rest of the system I can’t figure out why this sticks out as it does.
