We all love a Temptation-level pair of speakers. But with the ongoing cost of living crisis, these aren’t an option for most of us. Which is why myself and the wider team at What Hi-Fi? have long championed the need for more small, affordable but great sounding speakers.
Despite this, there’s still woefully few options available. If you add the “small” element to our messaging and look at our best bookshelf speaker and best speaker buying guides, the only truly small, affordable model you’ll consistently see recommended are the £279 / $379 Ruark Audio MR1 Mk2.
