Product of the Year

Not only did its 5050 loudspeaker win the What Hi-Fi? Product of the Year in the best floorstanding speaker category – toppling its more svelte sibling, the still amazing 5040 – but this mighty tower also scooped the much coveted ‘Reader’s Award.’

The Readers’ Award

The Readers’ Award is when the hi-fi readers vote for their favourite product of the year from a 13-strong shortlist, so this gong is highly regarded in the industry!

A massive thank you to all the readers who voted for the 5050 – we obviously couldn’t have won it without you!
