The Audio Pro A28 is a speaker system that gives you a lot for very little money. With streaming, multi-room and plenty of inputs, you get a complete little stereo system. Just add a mobile and a streaming subscription and you’re good to go.

The Vestlyd V15C is not like Hi-Fi speakers are most. In fact, they’re a lot more fun. The raw look and brash sound will be impossible to integrate into the neat living room. But the faux leather clad troublemakers will be perfect in a man cave ....
