After six highly successful years at Windsor, the country’s longest-running premier high-end audio expo ‘UK Hi-Fi Show Live’ is moving to a new home for 2019. At the end of October Hi-Fi manufacturers, distributers and all-round lovers will instead set their sights on the Grandstand at Ascot for an even more impressive array of Hi-Fi equipment, demonstrations, seminars and other must-see events.
Show organiser and AVTech Media’s Editorial Director Paul Miller tells the story best:
A sell-out Show from year one, we progressively outgrew the capacity of our original venue. The move to Ascot allows us to even better serve our existing exhibitors and loyal visitors, grow our audience, and also welcome those brands previously prevented the chance to attend the Hi-Fi Show Live as demand for rooms outstripped supply.
From 2019, this landmark venue will also allow us to extend into high-end automotive, smart home and custom install technologies with even more seminars and workshops exploring our world of audiophile hi-fi. With eight months to go, this high-end audio experience is already shaping up to be the UK hi-fi event for leading audio brands to be seen and heard!

To celebrate the show’s symbolic move to new prestigious grounds, SCV will be exhibiting across two full rooms of innovative Hi-Fi goodies. Let’s take a virtual tour...
IsoAcoustics Room
Attendees at previous UK Hi-Fi shows will be familiar with IsoAcoustics’ hugely popular A/B test, demonstrating the soundstage boosting superpower of the GAIA isolators. This year’s demonstration rig will comprise two sets of pristine Focal ARIA 926 floorstanders, powered by Novafidelity’s all-in-one X35 amplified music streamer.
This year SCV will also be armed with a brand new arrival to the UK - the DELOS platform isolator designed for vinyl turntables and other hi-fi components...
For customers keen to find out more about the IsoAcoustics and Novafidelity lines, the full product range from each brand will be on show along with members of our knowledgeable staff on hand to field queries.
Bricasti Room
Our Bricasti demonstration space will feature some of the Massachusetts latest product releases including M12 Dual Mono DAC, M25 power amplifier and their newest, highly affordable M3 DAC.
To show off its huge power and truly flawless clean tone, Bricasti's renowned M25 amplifier will also be hooked up with Focal Sopra 2 speakers for demonstration throughout the weekend.
Head-Fi Zones
In addition to the speaker-based demo facilities, our full range of Focal and Meze headphones will be on show ready for listening and powered by a range of different sources from high-end audio brands including Bricasti, Benchmark, Novafidelity and of course Focal with their newly released Arche headphone amplifier.
Amongst the selection of headphone models available for testing will also be Meze’s RAI Solo IEM earphones, making their UK show debut.
Show Deals
This year SCV are lucky enough to be joined by West Midlands retailer partner Hifonix who will be offering a range of exclusive show deals especially for the Ascot event. For full details of what’s on offer, speak to a member of SCV or Hifonix staff!
We look forward to seeing you all there!
