Welcome to the revolution: the Larsen 4.2 Most speakers today are wooden boxes with one or more drivers mounted on the front firing straight ahead. They can sound wonderful or not and there’s a plethora of speakers to choose from. From small plasticky desktop speakers to giant monoliths; from active studio monitors to passive […]
The Russell K Red 100 (£1950) were released back in 2014. Remember those simple happy days? We’ve all aged more than a little since then. I’ve been drawn to the Red 100 since they came out basically. First, I love how they look. Albeit not the weird red and grey version, but the one now […]

Do you remember when gourmet food was all about foie gras, caviar, and lobster flown in from who knows where? Now, as haute cuisine has become ubiquitous, food is all about how local the […]
