The new Melco N50-H60 Music Library sits between the company’s entry-level N100 and the compact N1Z in terms of price and performance, making it the Goldilocks choice.

Lowther Loudspeaker Systems Ltd. released its first speaker in 1934, a decade in the making. The sleeping giant of single driver fame has awakened once more with the Almira, their first new speaker in 3 decades.

When I watched the 50th Anniversary PSB video and eyed the Passif II Standmount Loudspeaker that date from 1974(!), I thought—Damn! PSB should make that speaker again! Retro-loving minds apparently think alike.
