Budget-friendly bookshelf speakers have gone from selling like hot cakes to becoming a shadow of themselves. This is despite the fact that they have possibly never produced better sound for the money than right now. Instead, people want to have them wireless, with their mobile phone as the audio source. For this same reason, one-box …
Argon Audio is the Hi-Fi club’s own budget brand, designed to be an affordable alternative to more expensive brands like Dali and Bowers & Wilkins. And when you see what they’ve accomplished with the new Alto series, you have reason to raise an eyebrow or two. The Alto 5 Active is Argon’s top model among …
The French speakers look good in white, and are not too large to be placed in a bookshelf, but you should perhaps be careful doing that. Let’s get back to it soon. But first: The speakers have everything one needs built-in. Audio inputs for both analogue and digital audio sources, such as the optical input …

With its Heritage Wireless series, Klipsch has found an interesting niche for those who want a traditional look, but with the latest technology inside. We have previously tested the small battery-powered and removable Klipsch The One, as well as the powerful stereo speakers Klipsch The Sixes. Now it’s time for the intermediate Klipsch The Three. …
