Revel is promising great things from its new Concerta on-wall speaker range, which will be arriving in the UK next month. 

Equipped with advanced drivers, high-order crossovers and rigid aluminium enclosures styled to complement the look of modern flatscreen TVs, the range have been voice-matched for use in any combination and consists of the 3-channel LCR8, the C10 centre, the M10 and M8 satellites and the 250W B120 powered subwoofer. While the sub does need a surface to stand on, placement possibilities are enhanced with the use of an optional TX1 wireless transmitter.

Revel claims that the entire Concerta range 'has been extensively evaluated in a variety of on- and near-wall installations through blind listening tests in the Revel Multichannel Listening Lab' and  that they 'have been shown to deliver remarkably flat frequency response across an exceptionally wide listening area for clean, accurate sound in real-world listening rooms'. Obviously, we can only take the company's word for it at the moment. But we're definitely excited about giving the range a thorough workout in an upcoming issue of HCC.

Here's a full breakdown of the range...
