CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE
MOVIE BUFF
Looking beyond the obvious –a massive telly and 16 tonnes of popcorn – these film-themed prezzies should ensure a happy ending

In case you’re wondering where you’ve seen that actor before, the Beam has Alexa and Google Assistant onboard.
The nook of love
Sonos’s Trueplay tech helps you get the best out of the Beam. It uses the mics on an iOS device to tune the soundbar to the room.
Make it easy on your shelf
Most TVs are black, but if you’ve covered yours in Tipp-Ex or like the two-tone look you can get a Beam in white.
SONOS BEAM (GEN 2)
You can’t really call yourself a film buff if you’re still using your TV’s flimsy built-in speakers for movie nights. Fortunately, there’s a very easy fix. Sonos’s second-gen Beam might not look any different to the last one, but with the addition of Dolby Atmos, HDMI eARC support and a chip that’s 40% faster than before, its five Class D digital amps, four full-range ‘midwoofers’, three passive radiators and centre tweeter can make those soundtracks really sing. Just what you need when you’ve scheduled a post-turkey screening of A Muppet Christmas Carol. Kermit never sounded so soulful. £449 / sonos.com
