FOR UP-TO-DATE NEWS AND REVIEWS OF ALL THE BEST NEW HI-FI, VISIT STUFF.TV/TOP-10/HI-FI-STREAMING
Small Transparent Speaker
+++++ £450 / stuff.tv/Transparent
Stylish, portable, loud enough for any bedside
table... and now also available in matt black.
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 2nd Generation
£1299 / stuff.tv/Mu-so2
The second Mu-so is a fuller,
richer, more detailed and louder
listen than the model it replaces,
with lots of added functionality,
and is every bit as handsome and
decorative. It’s more than capable
of maintaining Naim’s position at
the front of the hi-fi pack.
B&W Formation Wedge
+++++ £900 / stuff.tv/BWWedge
Pricey, weird-looking... and a brilliant illustration
of what a wireless speaker is capable of.
JBL Xtreme 2
+++++ £189 / stuff.tv/Xtreme2
A hefty portable speaker that growls with
confidence whatever you play through it.
Klipsch The Fives
+++++ £829 / stuff.tv/TheFives
Stacks of functionality in a couple of tidy speakers
that make up a one-plug hi-fi system.
JBL Flip 5 Eco
+++++ £120 / stuff.tv/Flip5Eco
A portable party speaker that does its bit for the
green cause while sounding fantastic.
KEF LSX
+++++ £999 (pair) / stuff.tv/KEFLSX
Fine stereo hi-fi sound without cables... plus look
out for the new LS50 Wireless II and LS50 Meta.
Marshall Tufton
+++++ £200 / stuff.tv/Tufton
Huge power, 360° clarity and long battery life
make this the perfect portable party 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 £9.99/month / primephonic.com
