There's nothing less satisfying than listening to your favourite album through a subpar pair of speakers. When alone, it's annoying; when hosting a party, it can become an embarrassment. One way to guarantee that you're listening to music as the artist intended is to invest in a good quality sound system and Denon, which has over a century of hi-fi heritage under its belt, is an obvious option.

Founded in Japan in 1910, Denon has come a long way from its original products of single discs and gramophoness. Today, its dedication to excellent craftsmanship combined with a constant quest for innovation has led the brand to develop Denon Home—one of the most comprehensive, customisable multi-room audio wireless speaker ranges available on the market today.

You can’t have a great party without great music, and the Denon Home range promises both. Wireless speakers include the compact Denon Home 150, the mid-size Denon Home 250 and the large Denon Home 350, each with high-res streaming, Alexa Built-in  AirPlay 2, Bluetooth capabilities and the ability to add in a Denon Home Subwoofer for an extra-powerful bassline. Meanwhile, the Denon Home Soundbar 550 provides surround sound for your TV and music, making every evening in front of a box set feel like your own private cinema screening. The Denon Home Sound Bar 550 can also be paired with two additional Denon Home speakers and Sub to create an immersive 5.1 home cinema system.

Part of what makes Denon Home so impressive is its potential for expansion: thanks to its HEOS Built-In technology, you can go from streaming in one room to linking in up to 32 different devices to play the same song throughout an entire house party. Mini-systems, network streamers, AV Receivers and Soundbars can all be linked in with minimal use of cables or wires to maintain a clean, fuss-free aesthetic. With simple set-up and operation, there's nothing to stop you getting the party started any day, any time.

Denon's also got you covered if you've held onto your old CD collection or are enjoying the vinyl resurgence. Denon Home speakers allow users to easily incorporate traditional audio sources—just hook it up to your turntable with an auxiliary cable and you'll be able to stream your favourite record across multiple HEOS Built-In products at the same time. Similarly, the CEOL N11DAB mini-system is a multifunctional piece of gear that can stream from platforms such as Spotify, Amazon Music HD or Tidal as well as playing CDs. It's the ideal bit of kit for all your throwback playlists and nostalgic party tunes.

Denon is not content to rest on its laurels, constantly seeking to improve even its most popular products. Each signature product design is assessed and updated to ensure they're always at the forefront of audio technology. No piece leaves the factory without being given the seal of approval from the Sound Master team, who are led by audio maestro Shinichi Yamauchi and tune every product to the brand's signature sound.

All that power is packed into a surprisingly compact design, with each of the Denon Home products sharing a sleek, unobtrusive design. For example, the Denon Home Sound Bar 550 has a footprint of 26", so it can fit seamlessly into any space. Plus, the minimalist design of each component makes the system a smart and stylish addition to your décor. This is one sound system you'll be proud to display in your home.
