The Alumni is the latest in a long line of award winning home cinema speakers from Mordaunt Short.

Mordaunt Short are no strangers to quality, style and innovation and, with the Alumni range, it truly shows. Key to the appeal of this stunning 5.1 speaker package is the compact satellite speakers. With tapered edges and a choice of gloss black or gloss white finishes, the Alumni speakers are some of the most discreet yet stylish speakers in their class. Yet the pedigree of these home cinema speakers means that there's a lot more to the Alumni package than just good looks. The 25mm aluminium dome tweeter delivers extraordinary levels of detail and razor sharp resolution while the CPC (Continuous Profile Cone) mid/bass drivers' clean lines are fundamental to Alumni 2's superior sense of realism. That curved cabinet shape isn't just there for good looks, either: it also helps with the sound quality by discouraging standing waves - creating a more spacious and less boxy sound. As with the other Alumni speakers, only the highest quality components are used inside with low saturation inductors and polypropylene capacitors helping reduce distortion and improve clarity.

The centre speaker offers all of the advantages of the satellites but with the benefit of a symmetrical D'Appolito (woofer-tweeter-woofer) layout for a broader spread of sound. Unlike many rivals, that simply use an ordinary satellite speaker, this configuration enhances the quality of dialogue, sound staging and integration of speakers. In short, it's harder to know exactly where the speakers you're listening to are.

Crucial to any effective set of surround speakers is a powerful subwoofer, and the Alumni once again scores here. The cabinet may be compact, but that doesn't stop the 120 watt amplifier and 8", long throw, bass cone from producing a window-rattling bass response. Yet power is nothing without control and here too the Alumni demonstrates its superiority over lesser rivals. Once properly set up, the subwoofer proves so seamless that it's difficult to detect its physical presence at all.

If you're torn between an audiophile speaker package for the ultimate sound quality, or a "style" system then the Alumni makes it easy for you - you can have both!
