Sonos BU250
£799
A wireless multi-room music system that boasts astoundingly easy
setup, beautifully crafted engineering and blissful sound quality. Add
in the new controller and iPhone / iPod touch app, and it’s sublime.
Philips Aurea 42PFL9803H
£2100
It may cost double that ‘bargain’ set you’ve had your eye on, but the
stunning processing, glorious detail and terrific contrast will make
the best of anything you throw at it. The best LCD TV we’ve seen.
Panasonic DMP-BD80
£300
Bargain players are getting much better, but they can’t match the
sheer eye-popping detail and features you’ll get from this flexible
disc-spinner: you’d need to spend significantly more to do better.
Panasonic TX-P37X10
£600
The perfect size for many-a-lounge, a digestible price and
marvellous performance: it all adds up to a great value set that will
lap-up everyday viewing (and gaming) with impressive ease.
