Welcome<br />

Join us for the UK’s biggest and best hi-fi show!<br />

Technology can be baffling at the best of times, and never more so than<br />

in the field of home cinema . One of the latest buzz words (or rather<br />

phrases) is HDR – standing for High Dynamic Range. Plenty of new <strong>2016</strong><br />

TVs will have it, but what exactly is it, what does it do and how does it<br />

work? All is explained in the What Hi-Fi? demo we will be running in<br />

the <strong>Bristol</strong> Suite throughout this year’s <strong>Sound</strong> & <strong>Vision</strong> show.<br />

If music is more your thing, the issue of high-resolution audio is one<br />

topic guaranteed to get audiophiles arguing. A case of superior sound or<br />

emperor’s new clothes? Come and decide for yourself in the special<br />

hi-res demo we’ve put together with Onkyo in room 332. And, as always,<br />

our experts will be on-hand to answer your hi-fi and AV queries.<br />

Elsewhere around the show you’ll find 180+ exhibitors showing off<br />

everything from Technics’ much talked about Grand Class SL-1200G<br />

turntable to Sennheiser’s HD 800 S headphones – and plenty more.<br />

Don’t forget there are top prizes to win in our £10k competition and<br />

great bargains to be had if you decide to snap up one of the show offers.<br />
