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.

Naim Mu-so 2nd Generation £1290 / 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.
