Design and Build Quality
In terms of design it is one of the best you can get it looks slim and on the other hand it has a great build quality as well with metal being used. he black and grey finish is both understated and tasteful, the curved edges make for an attractive design and the moulding gives the chassis an interesting texture.
Sound and Performance
LAP340 is that despite its slim proportions, it is capable of delivering a surprisingly big sound. This is no doubt due to the four drivers and two subwoofers crammed into that sleek chassis, along with 120 watts of total power. As a result the SoundPlate can produce a very wide front soundstage, with good stereo separation and a decent amount of immersion. The side firing speakers certainly help here but the LAP340 doesn’t lose focus and is still capable of making the sound felt strongly.
