"Ocean of bass sinks the Atlantic"
Issue: 1/2007
On test: Atlantic Technology 10 CSB
Ah, subwoofers: the goal of getting that much-desired extra bass performance in a form that sounds great, integrates well with your other speakers, and doesn't draw the words 'big ugly box' from the lips of your nearest and dearest often proves hard to attain.

Published on: 12/2006
On test: Cyrus Electronics Cyruslink Linkdock
Another day/hour, another iPod dock. This time it's CyrusLink's turn with its imaginatively named LinkDock. Essentially this a simple, compact seating position for your iPod, compatible with most models excluding the shuffle. It also has a remote and touch sensitive volume controls, an auxiliary input and an output. Like most other docks it will also charge your iPod for you, however this one does not have the option to attach a USB cable as well.

Sometimes when a manufacturer tries to improve a product, the result is something different, rather than better. That's the story so far with every model we've heard in Quad's new L2 range and, disappointingly, that includes the 12L2 speakers on test here.

"Pioneer's pleasing whisky tot"
Issue: 12/2006
On test: Pioneer S-A4SPT-PM
We don't happen across a pair of loudspeakers with a Unique Selling Point very often - sometimes a cabinet that isn't simply a polyhedron is enough to make a product stand out. Pioneer's S-A4SPT-PM speakers might be traditional in shape, but the material the cabinets are made from (100-year-old white oak whiskey barrels) sets them apart from the MDF and vinyl-wrap herd.

If your MP3 player can have a set of bolt on speakers why can't your phone? That's probably the same thought a product manager at Sony Ericsson had before creating the Portable Speakers MPS-60 for its Walkman range of handsets.
