- REVIEW – The Ranger Audio I/A IntegratedThe crew at Ranger HiFi has been winning awards left and right for their small but mighty speaker systems at $299 and $149 per pair, and some great cables at $99. So it made perfect sense to see a compact integrated with similar performance. But this small and this inexpensive? Impressive indeed. Smaller than a […]
- $149 a pair? CRAZYThe Vera-Fi Ranger speakers have really taken me on a trip down memory lane today. Many audio reviewers and enthusiasts with high-end systems sometimes forget where it all began. For me, it was a used pair of AR-7s for $50. My buddy Todd across the street purchased them new at J&R Music World (remember the […]

The Audiophile Apartment section of our magazine and site has always tried to concentrate on audio gear with a smaller form factor that doesn’t give anything up in […]
- The Vera-Fi Vanguard Scout Speakers$299/pair Verafiaudiollc.com Listening to The Knack’s “Africa,” I tried a trick that I’ve seen at more than one hifi show – I hooked this $300 pair of speakers to about $200k worth of gear. Wacky as this seems, it illustrates two things: the ultimate performance envelope of said speakers, and how easy (or not) they […]
- The Focal Vestia no.1 SpeakersAfter spending an afternoon with staffer Earle’s Focal Sopra 3s, just before firing up their new Vestia no.1 at my place, the level of sonic excellence they bring to a $1,198 pair of speakers seems amazing.
