Philips Fidelio B1

£450, philips.co.uk

The Nano B1 is a mere 41cm wide and comes with a wireless sub, which at just 86mm deep is able to slide beneath your sofa. You get two HDMIs, a 3.5mm line-in and an optical digital jack, but there’s no 4K support. The rolled aluminium and fabric design is cute.

For such a shorty, the B1 delivers an engaging, panoramic soundstage. The wide sweet spot comes from four microbeaming drivers in a cross-firing configuration. A pair of additional soft dome tweeters on top function as a virtual speaker array. Over-priced but always entertaining.
