With property prices collapsing around our ears, why not put your money in something more rewarding? This pair of Kharma Grand Exquisite speakers will cost about the same as a four-bedroom semi in Watford, but have the added bonus of making your music sound just peachy.
There are plenty of music lovers who still consider vinyl to be the peak of sound reproduction. For those, the Continuum Caliburn turntable is the stuff of dreams.
