Devialet Dione

French Devialet has since the early 00s grown to be one of the Hi-Fi world’s most recognized brands. The French manufacturer impresses us time and time again with its luxurious and innovative amplifiers, which can be tailored to get the best out of any speaker. Nor should we forget the small but potent Phantom speakers, …

This is when most people have trouble sleeping. It could be an imminent car purchase with a lot of money involved. Or it could …

Lemus Home Piano

Danish company Lemus has in a short time made a name for itself in the lifestyle speaker segment. Their products are a kind of cross between traditional speakers and a soundbar. With a large wooden cabinet and proper loudspeakers built in, Lemus products provide fuller sound without the need for an external subwoofer. Most also …

Bowers Wilkins 803 D4 SPREAD

Bowers & Wilkins 803 D4

Shortly after I got total goose bumps from Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship, the pig-headed and dizzyingly good 801 D4, a pair of the slightly more sensible 803 D4 have entered the test room. But only a little more, because even though the price has almost halved, it’s still possible to buy a new car at …

LS60 Wireless landscape Royal Blue

KEF LS60 Wireless

Most people associate wireless speakers with Bluetooth and a democratic price range that the majority can identify with. That doesn’t mean there are no wireless speakers for a narrower market and in a completely different price range. Just look at Bang & Olufsen’s superb Beolab 28, which impressed in our test. The heavy price tag …

KEF LSX II

No soundbar can beat a pair of stereo speakers for realistic music production. And neither can Bluetooth speakers. Not even the unique Naim Mu-so 2. Two speakers add an extra dimension to music that soundbars and desktop speakers lack. This becomes very clear when you plug in KEF’s new LSX II, which looks very similar …

JBL 4305P Studio Monitor

Two active – and wireless – speakers with everything built in is really all you need. Even if you have audio sources you need to connect with cables, like a TV or a turntable. They come in all price ranges, from the very budget-friendly Argon Audio Fenris A5 to the amazing KEF LS60 Wireless. Somewhere …

JBL PartyBox 710

If you can’ t get it loud enough, it’ s because you have too small a speaker. Try something bigger than a table speaker next time, and I guarantee your guests will fill the dance floor in seconds. Just ask a DJ. Music is everything, yet nothing if the speakers don’t get people engaged. That’s …

KERR K320 birch par

Kerr Acoustic K320 MK3

Coming in from under the radar is a loudspeaker manufacturer. Kerr Acoustic was a complete unknown until I suddenly saw a picture of a Kerr speaker on social media. The floorstander reminded me of a PMC speaker, only with a ribbon tweeter instead of a 25 mm dome tweeter. The open port at the bottom …

Marshall Willen 1 scaled 1

Marshall Willen

The smallest portable speakers all have one problem: they don’t play very loud, and they have almost no bass. That’s why we usually recommend buying a bigger speaker than you might have intended. But that’s not practical for everyone, at least not for those who want a speaker they can easily take on the road. …

Bose Smart Soundbar 900

After Bose surprised us earlier with what turned out to be a capable Soundbar 700, expectations are high for the successor, Smart Soundbar 900. The Soundbar 700 is still as good as it ever was, and with HDMI ARC it can be used with any TV. But the time has come for Bose too to …

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin 4. gen.

“Iconic” is a misused term. But when it comes to Bowers & Wilkins’ Zeppelin desktop speaker, it’s entirely justified. Very few speakers are as recognisable as it. Or as long-lived. The airship-shaped speaker made its debut in 2007 as a dock for the Apple iPod Touch (which has just recently been retired after 21 years …

Sonos Ray

Ray is the cheapest Sonos soundbar yet. The American manufacturer has previously impressed us with models like the Beam and Arc, both of which are among the most popular soundbars on the market today. It’s no wonder Sonos has done so well. One reason is their unique interface, which lets you control the products as …

Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3

Bowers & Wilkins needs no further introduction. The English manufacturer is famous for their well-made loudspeakers, not least the stylish 800 series, which is highly appreciated by studio engineers and discerning hi-fi enthusiasts alike. B&W hasn’t made as much of a name for itself on the soundbar front, but we were impressed by the high-end …

Genelec 6040R

Finnish Genelec are best known for their studio monitors, speakers for professional studios, but some of the models are so “civilized” that they can be used at home without the professional equipment totally dominating the decor. The Genelec 6040R is one such speaker. An active two-way design that can be called either a floorstander or …
