Weighty room-filling sound with clear detail ; Virtually invisible installation ; Low price

Bass lacks control and detail ; Can’t attach to newer LED TVs

Q’s terrific rear-mounted TV speaker delivers an impossibly big sound from a slender frame, making it a steal at its new knock-down price.

Sound improvement is immediate and obvious ; Practically invisible once fitted

Sound is rather brash and bright ; No tone control other than bass curve adjustment ; Bit expensive

If you are looking to upgrade your HDTV speakers and want to avoid the wires of a 5.1 system this this is a good choice and well worth considering

An ingenious cure for poor flatscreen sound for people without the money, space or patience for a traditional audio system

Could do with slightly better control in the highest and lowest frequencies

This may well be the neatest home cinema system ever conceived - if you're still persevering with your TV's speakers, you have to hear Q-TV2

Instant sound upgrade for almost any TV ; Talented with both movies and music ; Can go loud ; Small footprint ; Integrated sub

Limited inputs with no switching ; Small sweet spot ; Sound breaks up at high volumes

Blends into background, clear boost in sound quality and power

Sound isn't particularly subtle, no tone controls

It comes in two sizes - one for TVs with 30-42in screens, and another, the Q-TV2X, with the same speaker and amp set-up, but with a longer telescopic frame for TVs measuring 42-50in

If you're strapped for space or just want a minimalist look, the Q-TV2 can deliver good sound – but you'll pay for the convenience.

Easy to fit and sound is excellent

Only just fitted my 42" Panasonic TV

ease of instalation

Does what it says and sounds great

Would have liked a bit more control of the sound

Decent quality sound from unobtrusive speaker system.

Very little adjustment available in tone/graphic equaliser. System reverts to full volume when using phono input whilst tv jack also connected.
