Hands-on with Bose's SoundDock Portable, Wave music system DAB and MusicMonitor

Finally, we took a look at the Bose Computer MusicMonitor, the two tiny computer speakers that cost £280. Why so expensive? 'Dual internal opposing passive radiators' is the answer, a technology that lets the speakers produce a good sound that's relatively loud even though they're so small. (Usually, small speakers this loud would buzz all over the desk.) When up close, they sound pretty good to our ears, although we're not so keen on the pedestrian design.
