Want List | Amphion & NuForce speakers

Banish tinny PC music from built-in speakers that barely deserve the name. Amphion and NuForce have teamed up to offer one of the best-looking (and sounding) desktop audio solutions around. Simply plug the small, sophisticated NuForce Icon2 Micro DAC amplifier into your home computer and then connect up the Amphion’s two Helium 410 speakers for some serious aural pleasure. What’s more, those speakers come in a variety of colours – so no need for black or silver options. (£970, www.iglooaudio.co.uk)

Want list | Sony Alpha 77

Want list | Sony Alpha 77

If you enjoy your tech stats – and we know they’re like catnip to confirmed cameraphiles – then Sony’s Alpha 77 will have you frothing from every aperture. A 24.3MP sensor, 2.4 million dot OLED electronic viewfinder, GPS, 19 autofocus points, 12 frames-per-second full-resolution shooting and translucent mirror tech — unlike traditional DSLR cameras, there’s no need to raise and lower the mirror, and it’s this that allows such speedy continuous shooting. The build is much better than the Alpha 65, too (which was plastic): here we have a magnesium-alloy chassis so the high-performance 77 feels more rugged. (£1,150, body only sony.co.uk)
