Audio Technica vs LG Bookshelf Speakers

Audio Technica and LG appear together in this category, but their listed products serve different roles. Audio Technica's listings are turntables: the fully automatic AT-LP60XBK at £119, the Bluetooth-ready AT-LP60XBTWH at £179 and the Bluetooth-ready AT-LP3XBTBK at £239. LG offers its Sound Suite range with Dolby Atmos FlexConnect: the M5 wireless speaker at £249, the M7 wireless speaker at £379 and the W7 wireless subwoofer at £599.

Audio Technica is a respected name in vinyl playback. The AT-LP60X is a fully automatic turntable that lowers and lifts the tonearm for you, ideal for beginners. The Bluetooth versions can stream vinyl to wireless speakers or headphones without cables, and the AT-LP3XBT adds a higher-quality build. LG's Sound Suite speakers are designed for home cinema and music, using Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, which lets speakers placed around the room work together with a compatible LG TV for immersive surround sound. The W7 subwoofer adds deep bass.

These products can complement each other: a Bluetooth turntable from Audio Technica could stream to wireless speakers, though connection compatibility should be checked. For vinyl lovers, Audio Technica's turntables are the starting point, with the AT-LP60XBTWH offering good value. For buyers wanting immersive TV and movie sound, especially with an LG TV, the Sound Suite speakers are the option here.

Bottom line: choose Audio Technica if you want a turntable, with the Bluetooth-ready AT-LP60XBTWH at £179 or the higher-grade AT-LP3XBTBK at £239. Opt for LG if you want wireless home cinema speakers, with the Sound Suite M5 at £249 or the M7 at £379.
