The Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A9 speaker system delivers crisp, full-bodied, room-filling sound, and it looks smashing doing it. The price, however, isn't for the faint of heart.

There are few more contentious topics in technology than fashion. For some it is a fundamental prerequisite in anything and everything they buy, for others it is a superfluous luxury symptomatic of an excuse for high prices and a lack of substance. Bang & Olufsen’s staggering BeoPlay A9 is unlikely to convince members of either camp to change sides, but they should at least be able to agree on one key aspect: there is no lack of substance here.
