Thonet & Vander Kugel Wireless Monitors
Thonet & Vander has released its Kugel 700-watt Bluetooth Studio Monitors.
The Thonet & Vander Kugel boasts 700 Watts of peak power and the company says are perfect for a "semi-professional studio" set-up.
Together with a built in dual amp, each speaker has a 6.5-inch WOOFER made of lightweight aramid fibre and a silk dome tweeter.
Additionally, the upper suspension ring is made of highly elastic rubber, allowing larger displacement sensitivity and resistance to unwanted vibrations.
The speakers are enclosed inside a HDAA (High Density Acoustic Absorber) wooden finish, a natural polymer of high density that generates a rigid and dense material. These properties prevent vibration and sound leakage, enabling a more accurate, efficient and sustainable performance.
The Kugel uses Bluetooth 4.0 Aptx technology and also includes RCA 3.5mm Stereo and S/PDIF optical inputs to make it compatible with smartphones, tablets, DJ controllers, TV’s, computers or any other modern output device.
Also, the speakers are compatible with Amazon Alexa providing full voice control.

The Thonet & Vander Kugel Bluetooth Studio Monitors are available for RRP $369.99/£329.99 from Amazon.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
