Advantages: Amazing sound and build quality Disadvantages: May not be to everyone's taste
Tannoy Arena.
These speakers are an amazing piece of tech, which can make a beautiful edition to your living room.
Sound.
I can?t fault these speakers for sound. They produce a meaty sound which makes explosions roar and are detailed enough so that you can pick out every crunch and chime from the shattering of glass. Music sounds bright and has depth. The bass box can be adjusted and its big sound blends with the other speakers. The Tannoys are loud enough to easily fill your room with sound or even have you pinned to the back wall. These speakers never sound small or weak.
Looks and tactility.
These speakers look and feel brilliant. They are a beautiful blend of high quality materials. Even when turned off they make a huge contribution to any room by being eye catching but not imposing. I have these speakers on the stands which ...

Advantages: Great sound, sturdy, easy to use Disadvantages: Only runs off mains power
Before I got my iPod and sounddock, I was one of those who refuses to subscribe to the technological revolution. Prefering hi-fi and compact disc to the digital music phenomenon. However, within a week (once I'd worked out how to use it), I was hooked on my iPod and once I got the sound-dock, there was no turning back. I think it's fairly safe to say that the era of compact disc players and tape decks is over... The only reason I still have a normal cd player in my house is to listen to the radio, and those few albums that I just haven't got around to putting on my iPod yet.
The Bose sound-dock is a piece of mastery in the area of audio technology. Beautiful, sleek and streamlined; it's large frontal speaker provides both volume and sound quality. The music I play on the sound-dock sounds almost incomparably better than CDs ...
Advantages: Awsome, rich and deitailed sound Disadvantages: Not the best lookers.
I recently decided to buy my first separates system and after some heavy research (and a limited budget) I chose these speakers to go with my amp. the last pair of speakers I had were some eltax concept minis for my micro system and I was impressed with them. but after hearing these Its a whole different league of sound quality even my wife was couldn't help but comment how much better they sounded.
There not the best or the worst looking speakers in the world but they do look purposeful and well built. they have solid gold plated brass binding posts at the back, I'm not sure if you can put banana plugs in yet but i will find out in good time and incidentally there is a corner sticker on the back boasting of its audiophile credentials.
They are rated at 50 watts at 8ohms but according to the manual it has the capacity to go up to 100w ...
