About this deal

While the retro link will be the main attraction for some, for us that’s put in the shade by the speakers' excellent all-round performance.The 770 have a range of sonic talents that sets them apart from most rivals and earns them a warm recommendation. It goes without saying that anyone who angles their speakers facing a wall or corner at close range is going to be ruining their experience. As is placing them behind furniture or having a speaker's bass ports right up to a wall. But you should also consider where you'll be sitting to listen. Some speakers recommend angling them inward towards the listener. Other models are engineered to do this without being angled at all. As always, read your speaker manual. First things first, decide on a budget. Your components should be evenly matched, both tonally and in terms of price, so consider this before breaking the bank on a new pair of speakers that the rest of your kit can't do justice to. While the more expensive Wharfedale Evo 4.4 provide a sophisticated alternative, Q Acoustics 5040 are even-handed performers that simply step out of the way of the music and let songs shine. When partnered with care they deliver a wonderfully expressive and insightful performance that’s class-leading at this level. Wattage, in regard to sound output and speaker power, is a measure of the strength of the audio signal that drives the speaker. A 100w amplifier has a maximum output of that many watts. So, a speaker rated for a range of, say, 80w - 120w will be able to handle that power input. The wattage between the speaker and amp needs to be compatible to avoid potentially damaging both.

While it's an accepted measure of volume, it doesn't correlate with wattage. More wattage doesn't necessarily mean bigger or better volume, or quality, for that matter. Usually, manufacturers specify the amount of dBs that a speaker can produce with a single Watt of power at a 1-metre distance. Drivers Lastly, look around your room. If you have a very sparsely decorated room without carpets or other things to break up reflections, your Audio is probably going to bounce off the walls and create uncomfortable reverb. There are a number of solutions to this, the most obvious are acoustic foam panels, careful furniture placement, or wall hangings. Plan your wiring Just think, you could take your enjoyment of your favourite music to a whole new level with one simple decision - to buy the best speakers. It might bring your movie nights to life - your 4K TV will finally have quality sound to match. Replayed through decent home cinema speakers for your TV, the classic movies that shaped your childhood regain their broad soundstage and immersive effects. But that's just the beginning of upping your audio game.

And boy has the effort paid off. PMC has hit the sweetest of sweet spots with the Prodigy 5, balancing subtle details and musical flourishes with a perceptibly heightened sense of presence, poise and confidence. In terms of sonic performance, we didn't hear many better speakers this year, and it was the Prodigy 5's musical chops that really earned them that 2023 What Hi-Fi? Award. New to the range is the Continuous Curved Cone design for the mid/bass drivers. This new driver has a geometry that Q Acoustics claims to combine the rigidity advantages of a standard conical cone profile with the high-frequency break-up characteristics of a more flared design. A driver is a device inside any speaker, be it wired headphones or an external speaker. It converts electrical signals into sound. So it follows larger drivers tend to be able to deliver a more powerful sound with greater accuracy. That said, this isn't always the case, as build material quality also plays an important role.

We think these new Mission 770 are right up there with the very best at this price. Mission takes design inspiration from the original 770 speakers launched in the 1970s, but has improved and modernised every other element: from the cabinet design to the drivers and even new dedicated stands. Whether you're looking for a classic looking sound system like our Marshall Bluetooth speakersor want to step in to the future of home audio with our SONOSsmart home system the you've come to the right place. This is a measurement, in Hertz (Hz), of the range of sound frequencies that a speaker can reproduce. Our ears can perceive 20 - 20,000 Hz, with the lower number being a lower tone and vice versa. RCALook for speakers that are well-insulated against reverberation. Some speakers will have spike-type feet that will stop the floor from absorbing bass, others have cushioned rubber feet. Firmly wall mounting a speaker will massively help to isolate the speaker, and you'll be getting truer, unadulterated sound reproduction. Other than that, pairing your speakers with the right amplifier in terms of wattage and impedance will make a massive difference. Do I need a subwoofer? A subwoofer is a special kind of powered speaker that just handles deep bass frequencies. You don't always need one, as your main speakers may provide you with enough bass on their own. But some, particularly home cinema fans, like the added boom and thud that a subwoofer can bring to their room for cinematic effect. If you're partial to some late-night listening without waking the neighbours, some of the best headphones of 2023 can deliver deep and satisfying bass and all the rest at affordable prices. Do I need an amp? Choose speakers outside the range, and your sound may be weak. Then your amplifier will be over-driven to achieve higher volumes. Conversely, you run the risk of damaging speakers by pushing too much power onto them when there's not enough resistance. The lower the impedance, the more power is left over for the output, which is why it's easier to blow low-impedance speakers with high-impedance amplifiers.

Some manufacturers seem to be in an arms race to attach as much bling and bluster to their speakers as possible. As a general rule, beware of an overabundance of graphics, plastic chrome accents, and showy grilles or cones. Some of the best speaker brands offer a range of models, often with understated looks, but still vary in quality internally. Choose wise Hearing is believing They have so much finesse when it comes to delivering extended bass. They sound taut and agile, but also delicate in the way they paint bass textures and resolve low-level information. There's plenty of punch and power, too. The speakers have a slightly forward balance, especially with the clear and expressive midrange, that sounds lively and engaging – but thankfully never too aggressive.The Epos ES14N are a viable alternative, and if your budget can stretch to them, the KEF Reference 1 Meta also come highly recommended.

While the basic sonic character is instantly familiar, the Meta speakers have gained a level of clarity and finesse the originals only hinted at, sounding clean while still offering muscle and dynamics. Now in its eighth generation and going 20+ years strong, Bowers & Wilkins' 600 series of speakers has more often than not provided some superb speakers. Active speakers and smart speakers are self-amplified, so impedance won't be an issue here. Size and placement Optical audio connections are digital, as opposed to RCAs, which are analogue. So, an optical connection uses fibre-optic cabling to transmit sound as data via light waves. Binding PostsWake up to the crystal-clear radio sound of a JBL DAB radio. Take your favourite stations to the park, Tonally, they don’t have the luscious midrange warmth of the comparable Dali Spektor 2, which should be considered alternative options alongside the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1, but they’re admirably balanced and capable of making the best of any recording – even those of poor quality. KEF's new MAT ( Meta Material Absorption Technology) innovation has been elevating the performance of its most recent speakers (the Award-winning LS50 Meta above is a prime example), so it was only a matter of time before the tech was integrated into its 2023 R Series of speakers. Sure enough, the new R3 Meta standmounter features both MAT and KEF's Uni-Q driver array to great success.
