If you have even a passing interest in serious sound systems, you will know the name Funktion One. An industry standard in clubs and venues, the British company has a pint-sized addition to its arsenal in the shape of the Funktion One F5.

Available in a range of jazzy colours, the F5 is the company's smallest speaker yet, standing 23.8 x 16.8 x 16.3cm (HWD) and weighing 2.7kg. With an angled design of 30 degrees, they could be an ideal desktop solution.

Also new, and able to be used alongside the F5 (if you really want serious bass), is the SB8 subwoofer (pictured, above). 

It promises a high output from a relatively small-sized cabinet standing just under 40cm tall, with an 8-inch bass driver. There are 250 watts of power and again it uses 15mm birch plywood construction.
