Audio Pro multi-room review
Audio Pro has been steadily turning heads with its wireless speakers. Can it repeat the trick in the multi-room market? Well, we found the system easy enough to get to grips with and it's simple enough to connect your speakers, though the app is a little buggy.
But it's the audio performance that counts the most and the Audio Pro system offers a detailed and expressive sound that really delivers. Pound-for-pound, this system is great value.

Pioneer SX-10AE
Pioneer has managed to put plenty of features into its relatively cheap stereo system, but is it actually a bargain? In a word, yes. While it's certainly no-frills, it offers a clear, energetic performance even though the sound can lack weight. Pair with some budget speakers and you'll have a decent hi-fi system on your hands.

Edwards Audio IA1 Mk2
The first iteration of Edwards Audio's IA1 didn't tickle our ears, so to speak. Can the Mk2 make more of an impression? It certainly has an entertaining sound, one that's detailed and solid even though it's not the most transparent. The Mk2 is well worth an audition.
