The Indulgence Show takes place in London this October

The show will take place at the Novotel Conference Centre in Hammersmith - a familiar hi-fi show venue to some readers - from 13th to 16th October, and will comprise three main areas: Audio London, Headroom and Pure Pleasure.

What Hi-Fi? will be at the show, taking part in some of the talks and seminars and selling special magazine subscriptions. Tickets are on sale now from the Indulgence Show website.

Audio London is promising a range of hi-fi, audio and home entertainment 'solutions', with the focus on relatively high-end kit, with brands including Arcam, Audiolab, B&W, Chord, Clearaudio, Devialet, Dynaudio, KEF, Naim, PMC and Quad.

Vertere, founded by Touraj Moghaddam, will also launch its new entry-level phono preamplifier at the show.

The innuOS operating system allows users to rip CDs, import digital music and edit album data and cover art.

Planned seminars include "Room acoustics and how to set up your listening room", a daily Q&A with rock photographer Ross Halfin, a talk by legendary producer and recording engineer Chris Kimsey (who worked with the likes of the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and David Bowie) and a look back at 40 years of What Hi-Fi? with Editor-in-Chief Andy Clough.

Visitors will also be able to experience the world's most expensive headphone system through the MSB Headphone Experience, but places are limited so you'll need to book in advance through the show app.

Vernon Hamblin, Headroom organiser, says: “We have consistently heard from our industry over recent years that it wanted a hi-fi show for London and the home counties. When the inaugural Headroom Show was introduced two years ago, it was always the grand plan to expand it into a full audio show for London, and the time is now right to take the next step."

Hamblin added the new show was targeted at hi-fi enthusiasts, while also an opportunity to expand the Headroom event and add a lifestyle section in an effort to attract a broader, "affluent audience".

Phil Wannell, from Headroom, adds: “We know that there is a growing target audience that are happy to indulge themselves with higher quality headphones and portable audio. We want to show them there is a progression to high quality home hi-fi.”
