An attractively designed, well-crafted and accomplished soundbar – but it suffers from limited features (no HDMI connections, no remote control in the box), limited bass, and a high price all considered.

The Marshall Stanmore III is a powerful home speaker that looks like a small version of one of their iconic amplifiers. The sound will blow you away and there are a few different ways to connect to it, both wired and wireless. Granted it lacks a few...

KEF Blade Two isn’t a new speaker. And it doesn’t have to be. Because they go directly into the ranks of the classics and they’re the sort of speakers you really want to keep once you’ve heard them. They’re not cheap, but if you hold onto them for a...

Dynaudio Music 1 has many competitors. The Music series starts where most others finish, so you can find lots of stereo models at the same price as this two-way mono speaker. On the other hand, the sound is a class above what you find in most other...
