RADIANT ACOUSTICS (WITH HELP FROM CAMBRIDGE AUDIO) CLEAN UP AT ASCOT Hi-Fi LIVE SHOW, UK. SEPTEMBER 2025

 RADIANT ACOUSTICS

At one of the most prestigious shows in the UK, and the largest near to London, newcomer Radiant Acoustics took 2 awards.  Read on to find out why:

Another new name for the UK - this time Radiant Acoustics, a speaker manufacturer from Denmark that sells direct to the customer. They claim this enables them to offer exceptional value for money.  In line with that philosophy the Clarity 4.2 (£2.3K) and 6.2 (£2.5K) models were partnered with the relatively modest Cambridge Audio EXN electronics.  The streamer at £1.6k and the integrated amplifier at £2k.

Both speakers use the same stand, and the same philosophy - a ribbon tweeter and Purifi mid-bass drivers with side mounted passive radiators.  As far as I can recall I've enjoyed every pair of speakers I've heard that use the Purifi drivers, such as those from Kromer Atelier, Lindemann and Arke Audio.  In audio component terms, they're a very expensive driver. This new comer is not going to change that trend.  This system sounded terrific. Music is presented as music (not as technology) with dynamics, flow, subtlety, believability and entertainment.  Both speakers do all of these things, the 6.2 adding a little more weight to what is already an outstandingly deep and powerful bass performance from the 4.2.  I'd happily live with this system using either pair of the Radiants.  In a show full of extremely expensive systems, this was the stand out performance. For less than £6k.  Easily a Best in Show performance. Peter Lyngdorf does it again.

Worthy double award winners.
