Best Stereo speakers 2017

“A level of clarity and subtlety that’s unheard of at this price”

“Powerful and assertive, the 3050s deliver a huge sense of scale and are capable of enveloping our largest test room”

“These Monitor Audios sail through the test. They have delicacy when required and handle dynamics deftly”

“The Ruarks breathe new life into whatever music you play through them”

“Beauty is as beauty does… and these floorstanders are something to savour”

"Speakers that can stand toe-to-toe with the best sub-thousand pound standmounters around”

"The Spektor 2s are excellent speakers, combining Dali’s traditional strengths with a generous dose of entertainment"

"These speakers manage to knit everything into a cohesive, musical whole”

“Most important, though, is the richness and clarity throughout”

“Magnificently detailed, digging out the low-level acoustic clues that define a recording venue with ease”

“They’re expressive, entertaining and, perhaps surprisingly for a Spendor design, fun”

“The Eclipses have no problem when it comes to having a good time”

“A level of transparency to music that you’d be hard-pressed to find from a similarly-priced system of hi-fi separates”
