As we did during Black Friday, we launched an Amazon Prime Day live Q&A to give you, the readers, tailored and personalised buying advice during this manic sales period.
Only this time, we took the Q&A to the wild west that is social media, giving our Instagram followers a chance to get their hi-fi and home cinema questions answered over Prime Day.
We wouldn’t want to deny our website readers some of the buying advice that was dished out, so we have collated some of the questions and our answers below.
Take a look below to see what our readers were curious about and considering this Prime Day – and don’t forget to follow us on Instagram if you haven’t already!
Is the Sonos Arc Ultra still the best wireless soundbar, especially for the Apple ecosystem?
It is, yes! At least on a performance-per-pound basis and if we’re purely talking solo bars.
The only similarly priced alternative worth considering is the Samsung HW-Q990F (the newer H is still quite a lot more expensive). That delivers a more complete and immersive Dolby Atmos experience – but it’s also a four-box system. The bar alone isn’t a match for the Sonos, and if music also matters, the Sonos is again the best choice.
If you have a bigger budget, here are some better-sounding alternatives:
- Sony Bravia Theatre Trio (three-box system)
- KEF XIO
Really, though, we recommend going for the Sonos Arc Utra, which can be expanded with additional speakers further down the line if required as well.
There’s currently no Prime Day deal on the Sonos Ac Ultra, unfortunately, but it’s well worth the money even at full price.
Is it worth upgrading from the Monitor Audio Bronze 2 to the Bronze 50 7G?
Yes, the Monitor Audio Bronze 50 7G is a worthy upgrade.
The Monitor Audio Bronze 2 are stunning standmounters, but the 50 7G are a proper step up in build quality and offer a very clear, precise and confident sound.
“For a speaker at this price level, the Bronze 7G are unusually precise and controlled,” our Monitor Audio Bronze 50 7G review reads. “They are really clear, fast and detailed, and grab you right from the start with a front-footed, vibrant presentation that can’t be ignored.”
The current best price for the Monitor Audio Bronze 50 7G is £449 at Peter Tyson, a nice £50 saving from their test price of £499.
What’s the best 55-inch OLED deal?
There has been one OLED TV that has pretty much dominated Prime Day 2026 – the multi-Award-winning LG C5.
All sizes have seen rock-bottom pricing, including the 55-inch model, which is currently available for £969 at Richer Sounds with the code RSTV30.
If your budget can stretch, there are more-premium 55-inch TVs on offer, but the C5 is easily the best-value deal – under a grand for an Award-winning OLED is awesome.
What’s the best Sony WH-1000XM5 deal?
They may have been superseded by the Sony WH-1000XM6, but the Sony WH-1000XM5 have been one of the most popular products this Prime Day – thanks in part to some rock-bottom prices.
The best Sony WF-1000XM6 price is currently £179 at Amazon – but you might want to be quick, as stock seems to be drying up!
What is the difference in sound quality between the Denon AVC-A10H and the AVC-A1H?
Unfortunately, we haven’t tested these AV receivers – at least not yet. We have the Denon AVC-A1H in for review, so watch this space...
