Speakers Reviews

Updated Wharfedale’s new Diamond 12.1s are surprisingly sophisticated performers for the money.

Meridian’s Ellipse may be the best small wireless speaker we’ve ever heard.

The 3020c represent a big shift for Q Acoustics’ acclaimed entry-level 3000 range thanks to a marked difference in sonic temperament.

The Focal Aria Evo X No3 are supremely refined and forgiving, making for a fatigue-free listening experience.

The Sonos Roam 2 is a capable, user-friendly portable speaker, though unexceptional sound and a hike in price rob it of a full recommendation.

The Trapeze Reimagined is a retro-inspired design that delivers a thrilling, thoroughly modern performance.

The solo standmounts in Dali’s all-new Rubikore range fly the flag for both insight and entertainment and reveal the potential of the company’s new-era engineering.

The Go 4 blends form and function to impressive effect, and given its size and price, it delivers a sterling performance.

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

Tivoli’s Model Two Digital lacks the requisite talent to challenge the front-runners at this price.
