OOH, DENON IS A PLACE ON EARTH
Denon’s HEOS multiroom system was pretty decent. It beat Sonos to the punch for Bluetooth connectivity, portability and hi-res audio support, but the design wasn’t for everyone… plus its second wave of speakers was named HS2, which made it synonymous with a fustercluck rail project. Well, Denon has rightly kept the HEOS tech, but now stuck it in a new set of speakers called Home, with Sonos-like looks.

The mere-exposure effect is when you develop a preference for the familiar, and it might explain why Denon has gone down the Sonos styling route. The range comprises three models: the Home 150, with 3.5in woofer and 1in tweeter; Home 250, angled for wide dispersion with two tweeters, two woofers and a 5.25in bass radiator; and Home 350, with two woofers, two mid-drivers and two tweeters.
