The S150 is due to go on sale during the second week of August for £150...

Those familiar with Monitor Audio's Award-winning S200 wireless speaker will notice a few similarities with the new model.

That's because the S150 is effectively an S200 without the AirPlay and DLNA functionality.

It keeps aptX Bluetooth 4.0, a USB socket for charging iDevices and a 3.5mm input for other sources. You also get the same choice of finishes - black or white.

The speaker layout beneath the external grille features is virtually identical - a gold dome C-CAM tweeter, angled baffles, dual, 3in C-CAM metal cone bass drivers and a rear-firing bass radiator.
