At Richer Sounds, we’ve got something for nearly everyone on your Christmas shopping list! We’re happy to present Part One of our handy Ideal Gifts Guide…
Getting a swanky new TV is all very well, but with the thin design of screens these days you’ll be limited with the quality of sound on offer. Even older, thicker TVs that had room for better speakers may still struggle to convey enough excitement for you. The solution? A soundbase from the much vaunted UK audio company Q Acoustics!
Soundbases take the same electronics of soundbars but put them into a flat, plinth like design so that your TV can sit on top. Following on from the success of its M4 and M3 soundbars, it’s no surprise that Q Acoustics came up with the goods again for the M2. Two front firing speakers and a down firing subwoofer combine to give a rich and balanced sound from any of the 4 EQ modes available. Digital optical, HDMI ARC and analogue inputs cover the connections whilst aptX Bluetooth takes care of wireless streaming from mobile devices. You can even program a Sky or Virgin remote for the volume control saving you the bother of another remote on your coffee table. For ease of use and performance without the price tag, look no further than the Q Acoustics M2! Click here to shop.

It’ll come as absolutely no surprise that big TVs are a very popular Christmas gift – particularly with the cost of large screen televisions continuing to drop. The Toshiba 49U6863 is the perfect example of getting a lot of bang for your buck, with a feature list as long and as well-specced as more expensive models.
So, as well as being a 4K screen, the 49U6863 is also a fully-fledged Smart TV, giving access to a whole range of fantastic apps and services. But not only that, the Toshiba also supports HDR – and even has built-in Dolby Vision support, making sure that any and all HDR content is shown off at its best with no input required from the user. Toshiba have even worked with a leading audio manufacturer, Onkyo, to provide the speaker system that is built into the 49U6863 – they’ve really thought of everything!
All of this means you can put your feet up and get the best out of the abundance of movies this Christmas, New Year and beyond! Shop now…
