Signature 40
Signature 40 is for listeners who want scale, warmth, and detail without an oversized or visually heavy speaker. It brings music forward with a natural sense of balance, wide dispersion, and enough low-end reach to make listening feel full and immersive.
Whether you are listening quietly or turning it up, it keeps its composure and openness. The result is a floorstander that feels easy to live with, but deeply rewarding to listen to.

“It sounds like I’m listening to a pair of much more expensive and larger speakers, and the listed price looks like a typo. The high precision and excellent rhythm make listening to music fun and engaging.
The built-in room correction works well, and it’s important to follow the instructions to get the most accurate result. You can play classical music with a full orchestra or blast Tool at high volume—either way, it delivers a musically rewarding experience.”

“For many people, this is all they need to rediscover the joy of music. The System Audio Silverback 40.2 DS makes great sound easily accessible to more people.
The active four-way design with four dedicated amplifiers delivers impressive bass right down to the basement and a natural, well-balanced sound that works perfectly for all music. Easy installation, effective room correction and the option to expand to a multi-channel home cinema make this a really smart choice.
The sound quality matches far more expensive competitors, while the user-friendliness is top notch. For those who want true Hi-Fi quality without the stress and hassle of cables, this is hard to beat. A modern and smart way to think about true Hi-Fi.”

“Definitely a case of ‘more than meets the eye’, System Audio’s slender midrange active speaker arguably overflows with customisation potential, from automated and manual EQ via the optional Stereo Hub to a pick ’n’ mix approach to DSP. Tweakers will enjoy the flexibility, but more enjoyable still is the Legend 40.2’s compelling sound, which majors on resolution, bass power and a fine grasp of rhythm.”

“The Legend 40.2 Silverback is a well-built speaker, which fills the space without compression effects and creates a precise and pleasant sound field in the ear, which will never get tired, even at high levels. The Legend 40.2 Silverback is one of the pleasant surprises of the year.
It is a high-end speaker. System Audio clearly shows a way for a much better sound and this is what we want!”
