AUDIOPHILE MAN - HiFi REVIEW
Fluance Ri71 powered speakers deliver real hi-fi: AMT tweeters, punchy bass and excellent mid/treble detail. Bluetooth can hit limits with heavy rock, but via CD & vinyl they really sing.

Edifier’s new S880DB MKII punches way above its size.
Deeper bass than expected, LDAC Bluetooth, OLED display, full I/O and a genuinely “Swiss Army Knife” footprint.
Great in the listening room and on the desk. Impressive at £335.
