FOR UP-TO-DATE NEWS AND REVIEWS OF ALL THE BEST NEW HI-FI, VISIT STUFF.TV/TOP-10/HI-FI-STREAMING
Sonos One
£199 / stuff.tv/SonosOne
The Sonos One is now a more
well-rounded device than it was
at launch, supporting Spotify with
voice control as well as Amazon
Music and TuneIn Radio, while the
early Alexa hiccups seem to have
been fixed. It’s a class apart from
the competition.
Naim Mu-so 2
£1299 / stuff.tv/Mu-so2
The Mu-so 2 is a fuller, richer,
more detailed and louder listen
than the model it replaces, with
lots of added functionality, and
it’s every bit as handsome and
decorative. Too expensive? You
can still get the original Mu-so
for several hundred pounds less.
B&W Formation Wedge
+++++ £900 / stuff.tv/BWWedge
Pricey, weird-looking... and a brilliant illustration
of what a wireless speaker is capable of.
KEF LSX
+++++ £999 (pair) / stuff.tv/KEFLSX
Convenience and fine sound at a real-world
price, and in some vivid colours.
Marshall Tufton
+++++ £350 / stuff.tv/Tufton
Huge power, 360° clarity and long battery life
make this the perfect portable party speaker.
JBL Xtreme 2
+++++ £279 / stuff.tv/Xtreme2
A hefty portable speaker that growls with
confidence whatever you play through it.
UE Ralis
+++++ £170 / stuff.tv/Ralis
A pretty speaker with great battery life, and it
sounds superb when cranked up.
UE Megaboom 3
+++++ £170 / stuff.tv/Megaboom3
You’ll struggle to find a better, or more fun,
portable Bluetooth speaker.
Sonos Move
£399 / stuff.tv/SonosMove
The Sonos range of wireless speakers had been
crying out for a battery-powered portable model
for ages – and finally our favourite multiroom
audio specialist caved in. Luckily, the Move was
worth the wait. Its adaptability and sound quality
mean it’s fine value for money, and a no-brainer
for anyone who’s already a fan of the brand.
Not only is this the speaker Sonos should
have launched years ago – it’s one of the best
products of its type and price that we’ve heard.
O NOW ADD THIS Primephonic
Bringing sexy Bach, this is streaming
for classical music. Niche, yes, but its
not-on-Spotify film and game scores
offer a great way into the genre.
from £7.99/month / primephonic.com
