You might be forgiven for thinking that the M20.2 is a fine-tuned version of the M20. But in reality, it’s a brand new speaker from Scansonic HD. “It probably should have had a different model name, such as M200. It would have been more informative,” admits CEO Morten Kim Nielsen in an email. The Danish …
The Samsung HW-QS710F is one of the latest soundbars in Samsung’s 2025 series. There’s no hiding the fact that it’s intended as a soundbar to match Samsung The Frame and other slim TVs. With support for Dolby Atmos, wireless audio and an included subwoofer, it seems like a good alternative to Samsung’s larger home cinema …
Sometimes it pays to think outside the box. Literally. Because, as we all know, it’s common practice to cram power supplies and amplifiers into speakers when making an active version. If you do it from scratch, i.e. sit down with a drawing board and design an active speaker from scratch, it can work perfectly well. …
The hi-fi hobby is full of dogmas and unshakeable truths. One of them is that you need a lot of equipment to get good sound. System Audio challenges this mindset with its Silverback 40.2 DS, where the idea is so simple that it almost seems rude: two speakers, a hub and power. That’s all you …
JBL has the widest selection of portable and party speakers on the market. There is something for every taste and every need – but it is the PartyBox series that really gets the party started. PartyBox 520 is the latest and largest JBL model with battery operation and can play for up to 15 hours …
Samsung has long been a leader in soundbars, and with the Q995F, they are taking another step forward. With 11.1.4 channels, including new and improved rear speakers, the goal is clear: you will get full cinema sound without having to sacrifice half your living room to speakers. Industrial design The angular design of previous models …
With 11 speaker units behind the front grille, including two top speakers for Atmos and DTS:X effects, the Enchant 1100 promises surround sound without the need for additional speakers. But its real strength lies in its modular concept – you can start with the soundbar and add subwoofers and wireless rear speakers as and when …
The day started with a visit out of the ordinary. A supplier of power products had come to demonstrate what cleaner power can do for sound. Although I know it helps, I was sceptical about how much of a difference it could make. This time, however, it turned out to be much easier to distinguish …
As soon as I unpack the Scansonic MB5 B, I find myself getting excited. The slim speakers are smooth and sleek in their white satin finish with delicate woven carbon fiber details on both the top and bottom of the faceplate. The design is unmistakably Scansonic with the rounded shapes and distinctive ribbon tweeter. This …
Samsung has had great success with its soundbars in recent years and is constantly battling Sonos and JBL for the largest market share in the soundbar industry. This is probably partly because many Samsung TV buyers choose a soundbar from the same brand – but also because the manufacturer has put a lot of time …
Danish Raidho is not like other speaker manufacturers. For one thing, they make all their own drivers, where the process is as exotic as the materials. The materials used are made because of special acoustic properties – and not just because they are exotic in themselves. The X Series is Raidho’s most affordable speaker series, …
The Canvas HiFi 65” is a fascinating product that challenges the way we think about hi-fi and home theater. Is it a soundbar, a speaker or a piece of furniture? The answer is that it is all of these things at once. With its elegant design and – hopefully – great sound, Canvas is aimed …
I’m old enough to remember the first version of the Contour 1.8. And the second one, for that matter. A speaker model that in many ways marked a turning point for Dynaudio. Before that, many perceived the earlier Dynaudio speakers as a bit on the cool and reclusive side, but with good resolution and transparency. …
Denmark is a loudspeaker country. There is hardly a place on the planet with more speaker factories per capita than here. And there are more than we realised. We found out when Peter Lyngdorf invited himself for coffee in my listening room to talk about his latest project: Radiant Acoustics. Radiant Acoustics is a new …
Samsung is a popular TV brand with a range of models in all shapes and sizes, but the common denominator for these is that – like most TV screens – they often have pretty poor sound quality. Thankfully, Samsung recognises this and offers a wide range of soundbars to suit the different series. And while …
