Today we are looking at a set of speakers from KWorld, called the Classic C40. While the name of the company might be new to many readers, they are handmade and feature a wood enclosure. When the company contacted us they were brimming with enthusiasm, so we decided to test them in a variety of situations.
The Classic C40 speakers are a traditional 2:1 configuration: comprising two satellites and a subwoofer. The price point is very competitive, retailing for only £35 inc vat.
KWorld are keen to point out that the speakers are built from wood materials, by real people, not inside robotic factories.

| Configuration | 2.1 subwoofer system |
| Total Power | 40 Watts RMS Satellite RMS Power /ea: 8 Watts RMS Subwoofer RMS Power: 24 Watts RM |

I spent more for dinner last night. as you say hard to pick holes in them, even though they aren’t perfect.
£35 with a sub? is that a joke?
Never heard of this make and their website is hideous, but I trust your reviews. Seems like a bargain imo
My guess the metal cone is to directionally disperse the high-frequency sound, which tends to propagate in a single direction. This is as opposed to the lower end of the spectrum, which tends to be pretty much omni-directional. This would probably mean that you would get a better balance of high and low if your listening position is “off-axis”.
They look weird, but they seem to work. For people with very little money and those wanting something very bass heavy,. seem a good enough purchase
