It’s giving away both power and drivers to the other two here, but nevertheless it gives a widescreen and punchy account of itself. And the integrated phono stage, which is such a rarity in products like this, proves to be more than adequate – all of that warmth and harmonic subtlety vinyl-fanciers fetishise is delivered by the Ruark. In fact, the overall balance is probably on the ‘warm’ side of neutral regardless of the source of music. If your speakers are AirPlay 2, you should have no trouble using AirPlay to cast your music to more than one speaker at a time, using an easy list of them from your Apple device. Which is better, Google Chromecast or Apple AirPlay 2? Zeppelin (2021) by Bowers & Wilkins will strengthen the sound quality from rather any device.

Voice control: Alexa | Hi-res audio: No | Spotify Connect: Yes | Apple AirPlay: Yes | Wi-Fi: Yes | Bluetooth: 4 Most important of all though, is the Sonos sound. There’s no hi-res support here (not even the ability to downscale hi-res music files), but the range’s forward, enthusiastic and energetic sound makes this the best pound-for-pound way to painlessly and reliably fill your home with music. And Sonos’s policy of constantly updating, finessing and improving its offering looks likely to make it so for the foreseeable. If you’re the kind of audiophile who prefers not to mess around with cables, and would like all of your favorite streaming services available at the touch of the button, there are a few wireless speakers that sound as good as the Sonus Faber Omnia. Following in the footsteps of theSonos Move, the Sonos Roam comes with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity along with AirPlay 2 support, which means it can work as aportable speaker outdoorsas well as part of your multi-room Sonos system, or with other AirPlay 2 speakers in a multi-room system – and with Google Assistantand Alexa onboard, it doubles up asmart speakertoo. Mind you, it’s important to explain that everything the Zeppelin does beautifully, it does entirely on its own terms. There’s some minor EQ adjustment available in the app - Bowers & Wilkins has demonstrably spent a lot of time and effort in getting the Zeppelin to sound the way it sounds, and the company isn’t about to let you fundamentally skew all that hard work. And there’s no gesture towards spatial audio or any other current audio faddishness. With Zeppelin, you pretty much get what you’re given.As a stereo speaker, the Zeppelin successfully delivers a wider, more expansive soundstage than your average single mono unit. However, if you’re expecting the kind of stereo imaging you’d get with a pair of speakers handling left and right channels separately, you’ll need to temper your expectations. Stereo separation, while reasonable, isn’t as tangible as it would be were there two units working in tandem.

One of the obvious ones is budget. None of the speakers in our list is super-cheap cheap, but some are much more affordable than others. And they are from some of the best audio brands around, which means your money will go further and you'll have access to updates so they keep working for a long time. Naim, on the other hand, continues to make a spectacular design feature of the Mu-so 2’s control interface. That oversized, smooth-gliding wheel on the top panel is illuminated, home to 15 touch-sensitive buttons that illuminate via proximity sensor, and is quite possibly the single most pleasurable interface in the whole of Electronics World.
