| Review summary | While at £800 it's quite pricey, the Marantz ES7001 is a single-speaker surround system that packs plenty of punch. It has HDMI switching for two sources and audio-only inputs for five more, enough to handle your full range of AV sources Read full review |
The Creative GigaWorks T20 Series II is expensive, but looks great and produces a pleasing sonic racket. We wholeheartedly recommend the T20s to those seeking a set of stereo speakers that do their digital music collection justice Read full review |
A terrific iPod speaker system, and one of our new favourites for the bedroom. It's got a great design and build, excellent sound quality and it's intuitive and easy to use. What more could you want from a system like this? Read full review |
The desktop speakers for the audio purist, but an expensive option. The inability to retain audio quality at very high volumes may anger anyone looking to invest in a powerful all-rounder, but audiophiles, home recordists and purists after sonic accuracy will consider this a good investment Read full review |

Fine for the price, but we have concerns about their durability, and their bass can be overpowering

Takes all the hassle out of backing up, but some will want more flexibility and storage capacity

Our favourite ebook reader so far, despite lacking much of the functionality found in competing devices
Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-600
Capable, and a good choice for students, but it's more expensive than rivals and the glossy screen is horrible
