After what seems like far too many years [it was 2], the Bristol HiFi Show finally returns in 2023 to the delight and relief of HiFi enthusiasts throughout the UK and abroad. This year promises to be a huge weekend for the best in home audio with more than 150 brands exhibiting their finest wares – including SCV!
To mark the triumphant return of one of our industry's favourite shows, SCV will be showing 6 revered HiFi brands across 4 rooms with competitions, exclusive show deals and special guests to boot. Let’s find out what goodies we’re in for...
Demonstration Areas
Room 322, 3rd Floor (Triangle / Manley)
An exquisite blend of high-end flavours from California to France, Triangle’s Magellan 40th Cello floor-stander – released with due fanfare in 2022 – will be on demo alongside the Duetto bookshelf model also from the Magellan 40th range.
Providing power will be two valve-powered staples from US-manufacturer Manley Labs, the Steelhead phono stage and two Snapper monoblocks armed with two quartets of pristine EL34 tubes.
Also on display: Magellan 40th Quatuor floor-standers, Signature Delta floor-standers, Theta bookshelf speakers and Chinook Phono Stage and Stingray II from Manley Labs.
Room 324, 3rd Floor (Triangle)
Our second room is dedicated to Triangle’s award-winning AIO TWIN wireless speaker system. Visitors auditioning the system will be welcome to provide their own listening material from a source device or make use of Triangle's Turntable vinyl deck, perfectly optimised for use with the AIO series.
Also on display: Triangle ESPRIT non-anniversary speaker models (Australe EZ, Antal EZ, Comete EZ, Titus EZ), AIO 3 Bluetooth speaker, AIO Connect multi-room compact streamer.
Room 326, 3rd Floor (IsoAcoustics)
In Room 326 visitors can experience the return of our hugely popular IsoAcoustics A/B comparison demo. Two sets of identical Antal 40th floor-standers will be auditioned, one featuring GAIA threaded speaker isolators and the other without. Listeners can switch back and forth to hear the incredible difference that IsoAcoustics patented isolation technology can bring to any system.
Our Antals will be powered by an SPL Elector preamplifier and DAC, twinned with SPL’s delightfully clean s1200 power amplifier.
Also on display: Full IsoAcoustics range including ZaZen, OREA, DELOS, GAIA Titan, Aperta, along with the SPL Director Mk2 DAC and Phonos RIAA phono stage.
Room 328, 3rd Floor (Meze / Manley / SPL / EarMen)
Our headphone demonstration room will feature a relaxing and discrete listening area perfect for a break from manic show bustle!
The full range of Meze Audio headphones will be on demo including the flagship Elite, planar magnetic Empyrean, high-end LIRIC featuring isodynamic drivers and closed-cups, the instantly recognisable 99 Classics and of course Meze’s brand new 109 PRO dynamic open back headphones.
A wide range of source equipment will also be on-hand for testing including the all-valve Manley Absolute Headphone Amplifier, Phonitor XE and SE models from SPL, EarMen’s ‘Stack’ desktop listening system and ST-Amp headphone amplifier, along with EarMen’s portable audio headamp models Colibri and Angel
SPL will also be debuting an exclusive brand new HiFi product for the very first time both for the UK and globally! Details to follow from Saturday 25th Februrary.
