Hi-Fi Speakers Reviews

The Carmel 3 are beautifully made compact floorstanders that set high standards for clarity and precision but need pampering to shine.

Q Acoustics’ flexible sound system is based on a pair of shorter-than-average floorstanders with amplification and Bluetooth built-in.

The smooth, fluid-sounding Revela 1 are an undemanding listen, but their inability to cut loose is a major issue.

The Lumina II Amator are a charming pair of standmounters, blending sumptuous looks with a fluid, full-bodied sound.

Triangle’s Capella speaker package does so much well but isn’t quite rounded enough to worry the class leaders.

Wilson Benesch’s Discovery 3Zero are arguably the most capable standmounters we’ve tested.

The name makes for a tenuous link to the past but extensive changes have turned the latest Monitor Audio Studio speakers into something special.

Fyne’s Vintage Five combines traditional aesthetics and modern engineering to deliver one of the best small room speakers we have heard.

Wharfedale’s Aura 3 are beautifully made and refined-sounding floorstanders.

Despite a few niggles, the Borea BR10 speakers deliver an entertaining performance thanks to their powerful, enthusiastic sonic style.
