Design and Build Quality

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.
