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 />
