Libratone Lounge

It's not every day that two of us get summoned to our office's reception to collect a rather large package, especially when we had no idea what to expect.

A swish AirPlay-toting soundbar clad in cashmere - and you'll need a lot of cash to buy one The solidly built Lounge is without doubt one of the biggest soundbars ever made, and with its Italian cashmere jacket, certainly one of the most surprisingly clad. While designed to make an impact thanks to its maximalist proportions, it has a minimalist approach to connectivity, with a solitary input (for optical or analogue line-in) complemented by AirPlay, Android and Windows wireless streaming.

A new player by the name of Libratone is entering the fray, bringing with them the Lounge wireless loudspeaker. With AirPlay compatibility and modern looks, the Lounge promises a lot. How does it deliver? Read on to find out.
