New Products Tested in 2025: A Roundup

In the world of technology, 2025 has seen a flurry of new product releases, and we've rounded up some of the most notable ones currently under review.

NAD C 3050 Integrated Amplifier

The NAD C 3050 integrated amplifier is a standout product, earning widespread praise for its rich, warm, and detailed sound. With a touch of retro design featuring VU meters, this amplifier offers a powerful 100 watts RMS per channel and boasts a preamp, power amp, phonostage, DAC, and HDMI connectivity all in one unit. It has been praised for its clear and precise audio performance across various music genres and home theater applications. The NAD C 3050 won a Product of the Year award in 2023 and continues to impress users with its reliability and sound quality [1][3][4][5].

Ruark Audio MR1 Mk3

The Ruark Audio MR1 Mk3 desktop speakers are well-liked for their attractive design, affordability (under £400), and acoustic improvements over previous models. Upgrades include a Class D amplifier, a new 8.5 cm mid/bass driver, a moving magnet phono stage, and USB-C input, promising deeper bass and better control. The MR1 Mk3 maintain Ruark’s reputation for engaging sound at a reasonable price [2].

Fell Audio Amp and Disc

Fell Audio, a new brand aiming to bring back British manufacturing at affordable price points, has both the Fell Amp integrated amplifier and Fell Disc CD player in for testing. These products, costing £599 and £499 respectively, are noted for combining vintage-inspired design with modern features like ESS Sabre DACs, touch-capacitive buttons, analogue and digital inputs, 89 watts per channel Class D amplification, Bluetooth 5.0, and competitive pricing. The brand is regarded as an exciting new affordable option to compete in the hi-fi market [2].

Samsung S95F

The Samsung S95F TV has four HDMI 2.1 sockets and supports all HDR formats and latest gaming specs, but not Dolby Vision. It promises to be Samsung's brightest OLED TV yet, with a peak brightness of 2000 nits, while retaining the same energy usage as its predecessor. The S95F TV includes a new immersive format called Eclipsa Audio, developed in partnership with Google, which brings open-source immersive audio to YouTube [6].

Panasonic Z95B

The Panasonic Z95B TV uses a new OLED panel technology called Primary RGB Tanden OLED, developed by LG Display. It features a multi-speaker Dolby Atmos system with up-firing drivers in a 5.1.2 arrangement, courtesy of sister brand Technics. The Z95B TV has two HDMI 2.1 sockets, support for all HDR formats (HDR10, HLG, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision), and runs on Amazon's Fire TV platform [7].

KEF Q Meta Speaker Package

The KEF Q Meta speaker package, which includes five-star Concerto Meta standmounters, on-wall surrounds (Q4 Meta), a matching centre (Q6 Meta), and a 12-inch subwoofer (Kube 12 MIE), all for a £3000 package, is currently under review [8].

Lindemann Limetree Phono II

The Lindemann Limetree Phono II, a follow-up to the first-generation Limetree Phono, is under testing as a MM/MC phono stage for £650 [9].

However, not all new products have received extensive reviews. The Samsung S95F, Panasonic Z95B TV, KEF Q Meta speaker package, and Lindemann Limetree Phono II were not found in the available 2025 sources [1][2][3][5].

In July, Marshall's first soundbar, Eversolo streaming amp with CD drive, and high-end Focal wireless headphones are being tested. Fell Audio's first products, the Fell Amp integrated amplifier and Fell Disc CD player, are also under review [4].
