Want surround sound but can’t be bothered setting up loads of speakers and hiding a ghastly mass of cabling? Philips feels your pain, brother/sister – and the CinemaOne is the medicine!
Sony’s newest home theatre system won’t come packing monstrous monolithic speakers to pump sound into your living room, instead it’ll pack these cute golf ball-sized speakers to do the same job.
iPod speakers generally perform just one function, blasting music from your MP3 player and little else, but these transforming sound boxes are designed to pull double duty on the road.
Is your current speaker set-up missing the human touch? Then you might want to try Sonus Faber’s Cremona Auditor Elipsa for size. It’s a hand crafted sonic wonder, with each piece of wood used to create it lovingly hand-selected and graded for the best performance and finish possible.
Made from solid maple, the compact two-way speaker is capable of handling between 40 and 150 watts. That’s a lot of grunt, unless you live in an auditorium.
It’s available in natural maple and light graphite flavours and comes caringly coated with ecologically sensitive lacquer.

Using your PC as a monster media centre? Slap Sony’s new speakers into your set up and you’ll get an instant upgrade to your aural experience. The SRSZX1 speakers come packing 40 watts of power, and an all aluminium shell. There’s also a compact remote, so you can twiddle volume from across the room. Inside there’s Sony’s special Mobius Duct technology to minimise wind noise while enhancing bass, as well as a Sigma-Type magnetic circuit to give the speakers more oomph overall.
