There’s no shortage of highly capable speakers around the £150 – £200 mark, but you’re unlikely to find any better than the Q Acoustics 2020i bookshelf speakers.

Serving up a sound far bigger than its petite dimensions is the attractively bijou X-mini II Capsule Speaker from XMI.
Claimed to be the ‘world’s first pocket sized speaker with built in bass support and it’s own rechargable battery’, the Capsule Speaker comes in an innovative yo-yo shaped case which can be twisted and extended upwards like an accordian.

If your pockets are vastly deep and you have a penchant for audiophile sound, then clear some space on your desk for the Eclipse TD508II-UD reference-class desktop speaker system.

If you’re fed up straining to hear the weedy ‘bssch bssch’ of your laptop’s feeble built in speakers, then Logitech’s new Laptop Speaker Z205 could add some much needed oomph.
There’s no end of weird and wonderful looking powered speakers available for hooking up to iPods, MP3 players and computers, but we were only interested in one thing for Chez Wirefresh: the best possible sound.

Aimed at audiophiles with ravine-deep pockets (and, let’s be honest, questionable style) is Harman Kardon’s high end GLA-55 speaker system.
Looking like a mix between an air freshener and something you’d find on the set of the first Star Trek series, the GLA-55′s aim to serve up the sweetest sonic delights, as enthusiastically described by its makers:

Looking like they mean business in their sparkly piano black finish and rounded corners, the Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II speaker system is aimed at music lovers and multimedia fans who don’t mind splashing out a bit of dosh for a decent sound.
