    Two big disappointments.
    First, no Style Speakers Award -- those readers with WAGs and/or small rooms are left in the dark.
    Second, no Subwoofer Award -- those readers with great speakers that lack bottom end are also in the dark.
    Another year, another set of awards that make What Hi-Fi less relevant than it could be :(
