(5 out of 5) Performance (4 out of 5) Value The new TT1 tower speaker is one of the first THIEL Audio products not designed by Jim Thiel, who passed away in 2009.

UE ROLL Bluetooth Speaker Colors
Ultimate Ears today announced the UE Roll, a discus-shaped, ultra-rugged, waterproof Bluetooth speaker for $100, and we have an exclusive review. The speaker is unmistakably small, and you’ll be tossing it around like a frisbee (or discus) almost as fast as you’ll be listening to it. But you can actually do both at the same […]

koss-bts1-8-1000-80.jpg
The Koss BTS1 is just as serious about its looks as it is about its sound. The minimalist design here works wonders to help it blend into just about any household environment. But when looked at under the microscope, each of its design touches stick out as being masterfully implemented and make using the speaker […]

NHT is a small but highly respected loudspeaker company located in Benicia, CA. They have earned a well-deserved reputation for speakers that sound superb, feature innovative, straightforward engineering, and utilize the highest quality materials for great cosmetics and fit-‘n-finish. At $1,349 each, the Classic Four 4-way floorstanding speakers certainly can’t be considered inexpensive, but just […]

Tekton Lore-s Loudspeakers
High-efficiency floor-standing speakers at a reasonable price. Recently I’ve become interested in high-efficiency speaker designs that allow the use of sweet-sounding lower power amplifiers. Many audiophiles believe that low-power tube and solid-state amplifiers tend to sound more musical than their high-power counterparts and I don’t disagree. I had heard many positive comments about Tekton Design’s […]

Minirig1-1000-80.jpg
The Minirig is a very British creation and also one of the best portable speakers around. This latest version is also now rocking improved bass response and some robust wireless audio chops too. PASCE Ltd. created the original Minirig as more of a hobby project than a serious manufacturing effort. The company’s background is in […]

(4.5 out of 5) Performance (4.5 out of 5) Value Listening to the new GoldenEar Technology Triton Five tower speaker took me back to a day about 24 years ago when I was an editor at Video magazine. Home theater was just starting to happen, and one of the most interesting of the half-dozen or […]

Fluance Fi50 Bluetooth Speaker
Fluance aims to please budget audiophiles with the introduction of new table-top Bluetooth with aptX wireless speaker for $199. The new Fi50 is the second model in the Fi series which should improve upon last year’s Fi30, priced $50 less (see our Fluance Fi30 review).

UE Roll Review

ue-roll-1-1000-80.jpg
The UE Roll is an unassuming Bluetooth speaker. Actually, if not for the large stitched “plus” and “minus” symbols, you might totally mistake it for a toy frisbee made for dogs. The design of the UE Roll borrows much of what we saw (and loved) in the UE Boom and applies it to this unique, […]

You won’t notice any design differences between this tall boy-shaped speaker and the Charge 2 because they are almost exactly the same. But why mess with a winning design? The only noticeable addition is the new, vibrant JBL logo. If you missed the JBL Charge 2 when it first came around last year, the biggest […]

(4 out of 5) Performance (4 out of 5) Value Most subwoofers are pretty similar, but not the Sumiko S.9. Well, it’s like a few other subwoofers, but substantially different from most. For audiophiles, this is a good thing. Sumiko’s new subwoofer line is marketed as “by Sonus Faber,” referring to the famed Italian high-end […]
