Welcome Join us for the UK’s biggest and best hi-fi show!

Technology can be baffling at the best of times, and never more so than in the field of home cinema . One of the latest buzz words (or rather phrases) is HDR – standing for High Dynamic Range. Plenty of new 2016 TVs will have it, but what exactly is it, what does it do and how does it work? All is explained in the What Hi-Fi? demo we will be running in the Bristol Suite throughout this year’s Sound & Vision show.

If music is more your thing, the issue of high-resolution audio is one topic guaranteed to get audiophiles arguing. A case of superior sound or emperor’s new clothes? Come and decide for yourself in the special hi-res demo we’ve put together with Onkyo in room 332. And, as always, our experts will be on-hand to answer your hi-fi and AV queries.

Elsewhere around the show you’ll find 180+ exhibitors showing off everything from Technics’ much talked about Grand Class SL-1200G turntable to Sennheiser’s HD 800 S headphones – and plenty more.

Don’t forget there are top prizes to win in our £10k competition and great bargains to be had if you decide to snap up one of the show offers.

Andy Clough, Editor-in-Chief, What Hi-Fi?

£10,000-WORTH OF KIT TO BE WON!

Demo special!We’ll be in the Bristol Suite, doing half-hourly demos with a state-of-the-art LG 4K OLED TV showcasing the benefits of HDR (High Dynamic Range). We have also teamed up with Onkyo to demonstrate hi-res audio in room 332.
