Updated The 5040 features a new cone technology and marks a shift in sonic character for Q Acoustics, but the results are excellent.

Updated The Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 aren’t quite budget speakers, but they offer a great performance for an affordable price.

SVS throws its engineering might at the Ultra Evolution Tower but the results are mixed.

Updated Mission’s resurrected 770 speakers are excellent alternatives to the established class leaders, even before any nostalgic appeal is considered.

Updated Epos’s ES-7N standmounters are small, hugely capable and unfussy.

Updated The Prodigy 1 open PMC speakers up to a wider audience, and that audience should pounce on them immediately.

Updated KEF’s uprated LS50 make use of innovative technology to set new standards at their price.

Updated Big, clean, open and easy to listen to, the 606 S3 standmounters are a huge step-up in performance from B&W’s previous Award-winning model.

Updated Wonderfully refined, detailed and heaps of fun, B&W’s smallest, most affordable speakers are a terrifically entertaining listen.

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