  • REVIEW – The Ranger Audio I/A Integrated
    The 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.

  • $149 a pair? CRAZY
    The 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.

  • 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.
