EURO CUP

EURO CUP

The UEFA EURO, previously known as the European Championship or Euro Cup, started in 1960 by UEFA to determine the best national team in Europe. The tournament is held every four years, alternating every two with the FIFA World Cup, and is hosted by a different member nation. There are 52 teams in Europe that play to qualify for the final 16 positions in group play.

European Championship History

After Pierre De Coubertin (Olympic Games), Jules Rimet (World Cup) and Gabriel Hanot (Champions Cup), during the 50s another French man is the inventor of a sport event: the competition is the European Championship for national team, the man is Henri Delaunay, first secretary of the newcomer UEFA. Unfortunately, many countries opposed the project, and Delaunay died before it could be finalized. Anyway, his son Pierre carried on the idea, and in 1958 a commission presented a first edition during the period 1958-1960, with a format including only knockout games: first a qualifying round and a last 16 round with two legs matches, and a final round in a specific venue. The plan was voted down by Germany, England, Scotland, Switzerland, Belgium, and Netherlands. Also Italy decided not to take part to the Championship; at the end just 17 of 33 teams joined the tournament. As the number was reduced, it took just a two legs match between Czechoslovakia and Eire to have 16 teams. Eire won 2-0 at Dalymount Park in Dublin, but Czechoslovakia in the second leg had a penalty after 4 minutes, then at the end they defeated the Irish 4-0, qualifying to the Last 16 round.

KEF KHT1505 HOME THEATRE SPEAKER SYSTEM


 KEF  KHT1505 Home Theatre Speaker System

This is one of my  favourite Systems @ the Store! What`s Key about this System is the 2-Way Speakers. That Mid range covers ground that the “other” System simply cannot achieve!
I`ll use the O`Jays track “Money” to illustrate the effects, layers & tightness that these Speakers can re produce. Home Theatre wise it`ll handle the “chest pounding” Transformers movie with no problem....Love these Speakers!!

KHT1505 system features compact centre and satellite speakers designed to match popular flat panel TVs and a powerful subwoofer. With it, you can enjoy an incredible 5.1 performance with immaculate control.
No matter whether you are listening to your favourite music, or watching a blockbuster movie, you will find KHT1505 5.1 system ensures uniform, captivating reproduction of sounds ranging from soaring violins, through pop diva solos, to thunderous booms.
As each centre and satellite speaker combines KEF’s 0.75-inch (19mm) tweeter and two 2-inch (50mm) low-frequency speakers, you can use the system with virtually any amplifier. Plus, the satellites are designed to allow horizontal or vertical wall mounting.
The subwoofer has a built-in 200W Class-D amplifier, and an impressive 8-inch (200mm) front-firing bass driver. Engineered to minimise distortion as meticulously as the rest of the KHT range, it adds depth and weight to music or movies.
KHT1505 centre and satellite speakers are in high gloss black finish and the subwoofer is in classic black ash veneer.
·         Compact 5.1 surround sound system
·         One tweeter and two LFs in centre speaker and each satellite speaker
