Buying the new Sonos Beam soundbar? Here’s how to get the most out of it in your living room

This week's "music sounds better with..." interview, in collaboration with Cambridge Audio, focuses on British drum and bass duo Sigma, who have seen their last two single releases top the UK charts.

Cameron Edwards and Joe Lenzie have only been signed to current label 3Beat Records for little over a year but have already had great success with Nobody to Love and Changing in that time - the latter featuring Paloma Faith.

We caught up with them to find out what music makes them tick, what they listen to regularly and how they prefer to do so. And yes, they did choose a couple of their own tracks. What of it? We're certainly listening to them ourselves.

You can follow them on Twitter at @sigmahq.
