We’ve got a reassuringly old-school magazine for you this month – at first glance, that is. No matter how hi-tech the front-end of a hi-fi system gets – think the change from vinyl, through tape and the compact disc, to digital files and streaming – certain things inevitably have to remain the same. And the loudspeaker is absolutely one of those constants. No speakers, no sound.
There are some stunning upgrade options available for the music aficionado to indulge in, starting at very reasonable (especially when you consider the amount of use they will be getting) prices. Our round-up of bargain stereo speakers kicks things off at just shy of £200, and includes a couple of floorstanders as well as the more anticipated standmounts.
