What Hi-Fi? Awards 2025 special category winners

At the event we also revealed our special Awards winners.

First, devilishly good looks and awe-inspiring audio performance helped the premium Gryphon Audio Diablo 333 muscle past this year’s competition to secure 2025's Temptations Award.

And then, a strong push from you, our discerning readers, helped the swish looking, wonderfully fun-sounding Ruark R610 secure the popular vote and this year’s Readers’ Award.

Meanwhile, after decades of service since helping found the brand all the way back in 1973, Rega Research’s Roy Gandy was the well-deserving recipient of this year’s Outstanding Achievement Award.

Next up, after 12 back-to-back What Hi-Fi? Award wins, the Cyrus CDi finally earned a place in the What Hi-Fi? Hall of Fame.

And finally, we gave 2025’s Innovation of the Year trophy to KEF’s Velocity Control Technology (VECO) after it helped the KEF XIO Dolby Atmos soundbar storm our Best Soundbar category.

And that’s a wrap on this year’s What Hi-Fi Awards winners! But as always, it doesn’t have to be the end of the fun.
