The Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2026 - Highlights

Last weekend saw our annual trip to the Bristol Hi-Fi Show, held in the city centre’s Marriott. Hotel rooms aren’t purpose-built listening spaces blessed with amazing acoustics, which makes it all the more impressive when you do find a hi-fi system that truly shines.

The best of British hi-fi is well represented at the show: ATC, Rega Research, Harbeth, and Neat Acoustics. It’s the ideal opportunity for these brands to get genuine feedback on all the hard work that goes into designing and manufacturing throughout the year. These brands aim to remain good value for money, push the boundaries as technology & materials advance, whilst staying true to their signature sounds.
