Hi-fi speakers

The baby Acoustic Energy Compact 1s have a seriously grown-up sound

One of the biggest hi-fi launches of the year, the Wharfedale Jade-5 speakers bring power and poise

The new Monitor Audio Gold GX50s show revolutionary fervour

The Bowers & Wilkins CM8s midrange performance is spectacular but at a price...

Best floorstander £700-£1500, Awards 2011. The cut-price Tannoy Revolution DC6Ts are a real bargain

Budget Roth Oli 10s put in a decent performance

Focus on a fluid and detailed sound, but lack bite and drive when needed

With incredible agility, PMC's classy Fact 3 standmounters should be an audition must if you're looking to stretch that budget

Those who like their sound to be big-hearted and exciting will love these premium Tannoy DC10T's

The Mission MX2s are sufficiently invigorating to find favour with those who crave excitement
