Review: Arcam Solo Uno small amplifier with punch

Arcam’s name was’ Solo ‘always for all-rounders who combined a slim shape with a lot of functionality, such as a Blu-ray player. The more competitively priced Solo Uno does it differently.

Review: Airpulse A100 Active Speaker System

MORE FROM THIS BRAND RESUME The Airpulse A 100 are good speakers. Especially if you purchase them for that specific purpose for which you are looking for that fairly analytical and direct representation.

Review: MartinLogan Motion 40i the i is the finishing touch

The MartinLogan Motion 40 i is not a revolution, but an evolution. I mean that positively, because evolution or new does not necessarily mean better.
