We've thoroughly enjoyed Denon's previous micro-systems, but with the D-M41DAB, it appears to have surpassed its own high benchmark.
It offers a number of improvements, including Bluetooth connectivity and an audio performance that's spacious, balanced and full of character.
We have no quibbles with the Denon. It offers a stellar performance.

Part of Dali's new budget range of speakers, there's plenty to like about the Spektor 6 even if it doesn't set the world alight.
Producing a wide spread of sound to go with its easy-going, likable character, it's a big, cheery speaker.
However, it falls short in terms of insight and rhythmic ability, which means the Spektor won't be troubling the class leaders.

LG enters the 4K Blu-ray player market, but fails to match its rivals in this market.
The picture is pleasing enough, with rich colours and fine detail; it's certainly in the mix with the best performers.
But sound is where its rivals steal a march on it. Lacking dynamics and bass, it doesn't make our 4K blu-rays sing. It's good, but there are better choices.
