Let’s be realistic: finding a full 7.1-channel Dolby Atmos speaker package for under £ 1,120 seems like a typo. When you see it includes two big floorstanding speakers, you start looking for the catch. Surely, this is a case of quantity over quality. But then you see the name: Jamo. And suddenly, we’re listening. This…
Tall, ultra-slim floorstanders are not going out of fashion, but they are losing their once-undisputed dominance. Born as elegant alternatives to oversized hi-fi cabinets, they now find themselves overshadowed by the return of vintage-inspired designs. The 1970s aesthetic is making a strong comeback, evoking nostalgia even among those who never experienced the golden vinyl era…
The hype around the Klipsch The Fives is very real. The promise is simple: one pair of small, stylish bookshelf speakers that can replace everything. Your soundbar, your old hi-fi amplifier, your desktop speakers, your phono preamp, and even your little Bluetooth speaker. It’s a bold claim. In a world of complicated receivers and endless…
Most people would call this setup “high-end,” but for Dynaudio, it’s just the middle ground. That’s the beauty of the Danish brand’s philosophy, trickle-down innovation that lets you taste true reference-grade sound without touching flagship prices. The Evoke 50 5.1 system is a perfect example of that ethos, bringing studio-level precision, rich musicality, and real…
For much of the last decade, our go-to choice for the best floorstanders under a grand was the Q Acoustics 3050i. But that changes today. With the DALI Oberon 5, the Danish brand has delivered an outstanding alternative that’s even more engaging and refined. They might be slightly smaller than the 3050i, but these floorstanders…
Wharfedale’s Diamond series has long been known for producing some of the best budget stand-mount speakers on the market. But when it comes to affordable floorstanders, the brand hasn’t had a truly standout model until now. The Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 changes that. In fact, it sounds even more impressive than the award-winning Diamond 12.1, which…
Remember when small Bluetooth speakers were all about being loud, but the music always sounded kind of muddy and flat? Then DALI showed up with their Katch speaker, which was a game-changer for people who really cared about clear, good-quality sound. Well, now there’s a new version: the DALI Katch G2. They’re promising even better…
You know, few brands really get the soul of home cinema like Marantz does. They’ve built a reputation on receivers that deliver both refined music quality and powerful surround sound. Now, with the Cinema 70s, they’re bringing that same magic in a compact, beautifully built design that fits perfectly in modern spaces. It’s the ultimate…
Some brands come and go like flashes at a fairground, but Denon is a name carved into audio history. Founded in 1910, the Japanese company has spent over a century refining the art of sound. To celebrate its 110th anniversary, Denon released a handful of special-edition components each tuned to perfection, hand-assembled in Japan, and…
So, you know those top-of-the-line AV receivers? Imagine taking the best parts of one and making it even better, smarter, and more powerful. That’s the Marantz AV7706. It’s based on their amazing SR7015 receiver, but with one big change: it doesn’t have its own amplifiers built in. By leaving that out, it focuses entirely on…
