The end of the year is usually filled with merriment and even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, it’s a great time for presents. With sales all around and merriment in the air, this is the time to really get to the gift-giving, not to mention there’ll always be someone’s birthday around the corner. 

Advancements in technology mean that we no longer need to have massive hi-fi sets to bask in that surround sound, unless that’s what you’re into aesthetically. Gadgets to boost your beats and fill your house with beautiful noise are looking more and more futuristic, resembling something straight out of Blade Runner or Star Trek.

Here are some selections for the musically inclined friends of yours who loves to pump up the bass and tremble at the treble. 

 

Gold Phantom

Most speakers still look like how one would expect them to. With typical black mesh or rectangular shape, the smaller Bluetooth ones escape from that slightly though they still have the little metal holes that scream speakers.  

This is where the Devialet’s masterpiece deviates from the norm. The Gold Phantom is another class of speaker – smooth and shapely, sitting on a slant with its golden accents looking like flattened wings on either side. There is power to this sleek creature, created with breathtaking precision.

Promising zero distortion, zero saturation and zero background noise, this marvellous machine has all the technology to deliver this perfection. With Devialet patented technology like the Analog Digital Hybrid and the Speaker Active Matching your music will come sounding exactly like it should, if not better than ever before.

If the Phantom is just that bit too modern for that friend who you know still has a record player, then this chic retro masterpiece is just the thing. Ruark Audio has created a scaled-down version of its flagship model that is just the perfect fit for countertops or desks. 

Classical beauty shouldn’t be messed with. R5 has a slim and unassuming look, the polished rich walnut exterior with all its gusto tucked inside and a delicate front grille in Camira Lead Grey to deliver the fabulous sound of morning radio or music to your ears.

The R5 can also be hooked up to all it’s siblings like the MRx and R7 Mk3 to provide you with sonorous melodies throughout the house. Although smaller than it’s brethren, the R5 can do many wonders from connecting to Spotify, playing CDs and being an alarm clock.
