The Mordaunt-Short Carnival 1 is an extremely compact speaker which is suitable for stereo set-ups and is ideal for smaller rooms. It handles an impressive 80 watts and so punches well above its weight, bringing music to life. The Carnival 1 is also the perfect speaker for home theater systems which include a subwoofer such as the Carnival 7 or 9. The Carnival 1's pure, refined sound is enough to embarrass many more expensive rivals.
