Hi-fi speakers

The B&W 685s speakers are superb performers for the money, proving a thoroughly invigorating listen

Good looking, solid and superb sounding, the A.C.Ts are truly the best in their class

A price-hike and some new rivals finally oust the Tannoys from the budget top table

They may not look anything special, but once you hear these ProAcs you'll understand why they're so good

These speakers' amazing form is dictated by function, not convention or tradition

Exceptional in certain areas, but not as rounded as the very best under £3000

Carefully matched, the 32As give the class champions plenty to think about

These dynamic floorstanders are really fast and agile, if not the final word in solidity

The finest sound at this price, combining the authority of large tower designs with the speed and agility of the finest standmounters
