1 JBL SA750

> Reaching your 75th year is cause enough for celebration – doubly so when you’re a brand as venerable as JBL. To celebrate, the company has launched the SA750, a gorgeously retro integrated amplifier with a very modern set of capabilities onboard, including support for AirPlay 2. We love its use of milled aluminium and real wood teak veneer, plus those reassuringly chunky switches and dials. As you’d expect from a machine of its calibre, it’s capable of delivering 220W of power per channel into eight ohms, and it has built-in Ethernet, Wi-Fi and USB, as well as more traditional hi-fi connections. Team it with the L100 Classic 75 speakers ($1,000) for added street cred – but hurry, only 750 pairs of these stunning speakers (pictured inset) are being made.

2 Sony Bravia XR Master Series Z9J
