Key Takeaways: I didn’t originally buy the Wharfedale Super Linton for myself. The idea actually came from my nephew, who had been quietly—well, not that quietly—campaigning for them as his “dream speakers” for months. Eventually, I caved. Finding a pair wasn’t instant, either.

In today’s hi-fi world, far too many speakers feel like they’re built for people who love audio gear more than the music itself.

That’s exactly why the Klipsch…
The Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series has been a staple in the audio world for over 25 years. To mark this milestone, B&W released the 606 S2 Anniversary Edition.

There are moments in this hobby when a speaker surprises you—not with volume or sparkle, but with maturity. The Wharfedale EVO 5.4 gave me exactly that feeling the first time I brought it into my listening room. I’ve reviewed plenty of floorstanders around this price, but these felt different. Calm. Confident. As if they knew…
When you think of Wharfedale, most audiophiles immediately picture the long-running, budget-friendly Diamond series. The Diamonds have dominated the entry-level and midrange speaker market for decades, offering exceptional value. But Wharfedale is far more than just affordable bookshelf speakers. Their new Evo series, and specifically the Evo 4.4, is proof that the brand can compete…
The American brand Martin Logan’s Motion 35XTi bookshelf speakers have always interested me because I wanted to know what would happen if I essentially sawed their floorstanding models in half. I have already listened to the floorstanders from this Motion series: the flagship 60XTi and the 40i, which were more suitable for my room. Those…
When I first unboxed the DALI Oberon 1 C, I didn’t expect much more than another wireless bookshelf speaker.
