Moon i-1

Large-scale, smooth sound proves ever-enjoyable ; ultra-deep bass ; nice focus

Lacks the detail of the very best ; low frequencies could be more taut ; average looks and build

The Moon's lack of all-out precision holds it back from five, but four stars in this competitive sector is still mighty impressive

A hint of harshness can on occasion affect vocals and bright- sounding melody instruments, but the bass is fabulous, detail is good, and the lasting impression is of convincing music-making.
