If you know anything about audio, and specifically studio quality speaker audio, you’ll know that the name Monitor Audio represents some of the best speaker technology in the world, bar none. Formed back in 1972 to produce high quality loudspeakers, the company quickly gained a following as a brand which delivered top quality audio without all the hype.

The Monitor Audio WS100 may have moved a bit downmarket, away from the floor and onto the desktop, but that doesn’t mean they’ll deliver any less than you’d expect. Of course nowadays almost everything comes off the same production lines in China, but with audio, choice and design of materials can always make a difference.

These 5 inch cube speakers come with a plug and play wireless USB dongle, and feature 3″ bass drivers, gold dome tweeters and four integrated amplifiers. Yes four. That gives 60W RMS total power, which should be enough to lift your laptop an inch or two clean off the desk mid track. The set can also be used with portable devices via a 3.5 auxiliary input jack. The speakers are priced at £250.00. Trust me, these are the speakers you’re looking for.
