What HiFi? Magazine Rates New B&W Zeppelin Mini
01 February, 2010

What Hi-Fi? magazine compares the Zeppelin Mini favourably to the Bose Sound Dock II. Awarding Zeppelin Mini five stars, the reviewer writes: "The little Zeppelin is punchy, controlled and bigger than seems likely. It goes passably loud, and offers the sort of bass that's beyond all but the most capable rivals. Expressive in the midrange, crisply unthreatening at the top end and smoothly integrated throughout, it's as revealing of fine detail as it is of low-bitrate files".  Click below to read the full review.

02 January, 2010

South African magazine Audio Video recently reviewed the BDP 10, Harman Kardon's first ever Blu-ray player, and the editor was not disappointed with the performance it delivered!"It’s taken Harman Kardon a while to release its first Blu-ray player. However, having spent the past six weeks or so in the company of the new BDP 10, it seems the wait’s been well worth it: this HK is a killer of a machine.""The Harman Kardon BDP 10 Blu-ray player delivers on almost every front. It simple to set up and easy to use, compatible with all the current formats, and provides for Ethernet and USB to extend its functionality and versatility even further.""Most of all, it delivers the goods in outright performance terms, especially when partnered with equally talented ancillaries. Definitely a player to put on the short list."Click below to download a PDF version of the full review.
