Speakers are something that is meant to be heard rather than be looked at, although there are some out there who want their speakers to not only sound good, but look good as well, which might explain why companies such as Bose and Bang & Olufsen pride themselves in their technology as well as their design.

As we have mentioned in the past, soundbars are great if you’re looking to slot your speakers underneath your TV. This could simply be due to design preference or if you are tight on space and don’t have any room for more traditional tower speakers. Unfortunately soundbars are a bit limiting in terms of their sound since they tend to project in one direction. Well the good news is that […]
