If this was all about style and sound, the Meridian would get a straight 10 - designed and made in association with Ferrari, it plays CDs and DVDs, and has a built-in FM/DAB tuner. It has a clean sound and all the hi-fi cred you’d expect from one of Britain’s most advanced audio companies. The only problem is the price.

Verdict:The ultimate boombox
Price: £1,450
