Getting onto our list of the best hi-fi speakers is a big deal. We test a lot of speakers across a wide range of prices and types, and any movement in the product we review at any given price point is cause for celebration, given how fierce the competition can be.
Despite having reviewed a healthy host of speakers this year, including the very likeable Neat Iota II (£1095 / $1699), the budget Q Acoustics 5010 (£399 / $749) and the charming Ruark Audio Sabre-R (£699 / $899), our core recommendations have remained reasonably unchanged, making it a big deal when a brand new speaker comes in to become a new favourite at any price.
