• You can't mistake a Zeppelin for anything else. The elliptical silhouette is perched atop a sturdy metal pedestal stand, with the front face wrapped in acoustic fabric. The rear remains plastic, but it's the kind that does a convincing impression of metal.

• It's what's inside the Pro Edition that separates it from the regular Zeppelin. It's packing the same titanium-dome tweeters as the 600 Series loudspeakers, while the mid-range drivers also have improved cone damping, and a smoother crossover with the woofer. Hi-fi jargon aside, that should mean it sounds better.
