If there’s one thing of which we Brits can be justifiably proud, it’s our nation’s proclivity for invention and engineering nouse. And nowhere is this more evident than in the world of hi-fi.
Elsewhere in this special issue of What Hi-Fi? celebrating British hi-fi, you will have read about UK innovations and the great companies that have, and still do, lead the pack in terms of hi-fi quality. But here, we are focusing on a dozen specific models of loudspeaker that we absolutely love, all from British manufacturers.
You will find a broad range of prices and speaker types represented here, from lauded British hi-fi heroes such as Wharfedale, Mission, Spendor, Bowers & Wilkins, KEF, Fyne, ATC and more. These stereo speakers also range from small desktop models such as the dinky Ruark MR1 Mk2 to the mighty (and mightily priced) PMC Fact Fenestria floorstanders.
What all these models have in common, apart from scoring five stars out of five for sound quality from What Hi-Fi?’s expert reviewers, is in each manufacturer’s loving attention to detail and the fine build quality on offer, not to mention some often innovative approaches to getting the best sound at the end of your music chain.
And that’s why, like an orator at that famous bastion of free speech in London’s Hyde Park, we’re shouting as loud as we can about these incredible all-British loudspeakers.
