Hi-fi speakers

The Caterthun has strengths but we expect a more rounded product at this price

The finest Spendor speakers we’ve heard in years. When it comes to insight and precision, these floorstanders set the standard at this price

The TD508Mk3 aren’t for everybody but nothing at this price level comes close in their areas of strength

Fine levels of functionality, but the level of performance lets the side down

Solid sound, smart looks and simple set-up make the Bose easy to recommend

The Diamond 155s are fine sounding speakers but are let down by poor attention to detail

Looking for a pair of top class sub-£500 standmounters? Q Acoustics' Concept 20s could well be the answer
