Welcome Join us for the UK’s biggest and best hi-fi show! How many speakers can you accommodate in your living room? I ask because at this year’s Sound & Vision show we are demonstrating Dolby Atmos for the first time, in a 5.2.4 configuration with four in-ceiling speakers to complement the usual fronts, centre, rears and of course additional subwoofers. Now before you dismiss such a set-up as outlandish, come and hear it for yourself in our demonstration room in the Bristol Suite. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. If two-channel music is more your thing, we also have a demo of Meridian’s much-lauded Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) technology which you can come and hear for yourself. 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 a prototype new product from Rega, a brand-new audio system from Cyrus, Tannoy’s new Revolution XT series and 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 of a state-of-the-art Dolby Atmos home cinema system: we’ll have an 85in 4K television connected to an Oppo BDP105D Blu-ray player, with a Pioneer SC-LX88 AV receiver powering a Focal Electra 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos speaker system.
