MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESL (EM-ESL) £2,900 per pair (gloss black finish), www.absolutesounds.com

Combining a 34-inch tall curvilinear XStat electrostatic transducer and an integrated high-performance eight-inch woofer, the EM-ESL is, according to manufacturer, Absolute Sound, the world’s most affordable highperformance hybrid electro static loudspeaker.

It’s quite a claim but we completely agree. Wherever you put these they simply look stunning, radiating quality and are equally adept with stereo music and multi-channel movies.

The EM-ESL was awarded ‘Design & Engineering Showcase Honours’ at CES (the world’s largest consumer electronics show) when it was previewed earlier this year and we can see why.

If you want a bit more bang, the ElectroMotion Series also includes matching centre and surround speakers for home cinema use, incorporating innovative compact Folded Motion thin film transducer technologies.

MOS 005 Headphones £29.99, www.amazon.co.uk

Forget Urbanz and Skull Candy, if you’re looking for a set of powerful, responsive, yet incredibly affordable headphones, look no further than Ministry Of Sound’s super stylish MOS 005.

These distinctive headphones pack a punch with their 50mm drivers delivering the crisp and pure sound, for which Ministry Of Sound has become famous.

We’ve tested and reviewed other similar products and the high grade leatherette pads and aluminium housed adjustable cans, without doubt offer the most comfort and flexibility.
