We just ran a Live Q&A on our Awards winners – and you can still read our answers here!
As well as this year’s Award winners, we are also announcing our first of, hopefully, many Live Q&A sessions
Editor's Note: This Q&A has since ended, but you can still read the questions and answers from it at the bottom of this page. We're hoping to do a lot more of these in the not too distant future. If you have a topic or idea for one, make sure to let us know using our shared whathifi@futurenet.com email address.
After days of waiting, the hour is finally upon us and What Hi-Fi?’s first ever Live Q&A is up and running!
Over the next hour our global technical, Ketan Bharadia and TV and AV editor Tom Parsons are here, ready and willing to answer any questions you have about this year’s What Hi-Fi? Awards Best Buy winners.
Whether it’s a question about how we chose this year’s winners, specifics about our rigorous comparative testing process, or something about one of the actual products to pick up a trophy, we’ll do our best to answer!
All you have to do is jump to the comments section at the bottom of this page and post your question. From there we’ll run through all of them in chronological order over the next hour, before logging off at 3.00pm (GMT+1).
But, before you do, we have a few words of housekeeping…
Just remember, like our monthly Ask The Reader question and our forums, this is a safe space, so make sure to avoid any nasty language and treat everyone (especially us) with the respect we deserve. Christmas is around the corner and we should all be doing everything we can to be on Santa’s nice list, after all.
The latest hi-fi, home cinema and tech news, reviews, buying advice and deals, direct to your inbox.
Questions should also refer to our Award-winners only, please. If there's something else you want to talk about, you can get in touch directly using our shared whathifi@futurenet email address and we'll do our best to reply. Otherwise let's try to keep it on topic!
On top of that, remember that the products announced are our Best Buy winners. We’ll be revealing our Product of the Year winners – chosen from the Best Buy shortlist – at our exclusive black tie ceremony on the 13th of November.
During the 43rd What Hi-Fi? Awards evening, we will also reveal this year’s Outstanding Contribution, Readers’ Award, Temptation and Innovation Award winners as well as revealing which former winner will be inducted into our hallowed Hall of Fame.
So make sure to keep checking back with What Hi-Fi? regularly!
