British Hi-Fi Week
(Image credit: Future)

It's time to dust-off your union jack, give any British hi-fi you own an extra workout and polish, and celebrate the best of British hi-fi with us. This week we're saluting some of the most influential British brands, products and technologies to have appeared in What Hi-Fi?.

We're also speaking to Cyrus about its all-new XR Series, asking hi-fi brands what 'British sound' is to them, and bringing you fresh reviews of British hi-fi kit from Wharfedale, Cambridge Audio, KEF and Spendor. And that's not all!

While the definition of a 'British company' has become increasingly blurred, there remains a great number of audio companies from the British Isles that have delivered great hi-fi products for our listening pleasure.

From speakers to streamers, amplifiers to turntables, British hi-fi continues to punch above its weight when it comes to delivering great sound. And even as the world becomes smaller, and we all have the chance to see, hear, review and buy products from all over the globe (something we're very happy about), rest assured What Hi-Fi? is continuing to champion the best of British.

We'll be adding news, features and reviews throughout the week, so watch this space.

Becky is the managing editor of What Hi-Fi? and, since her recent move to Melbourne, also the editor of Australian Hi-Fi magazine. During her 10 years in the hi-fi industry, she has been fortunate enough to travel the world to report on the biggest and most exciting brands in hi-fi and consumer tech (and has had the jetlag and hangovers to remember them by). In her spare time, Becky can often be found running, watching Liverpool FC and horror movies, and hunting for gluten-free cake.

    The days of the great British audio industry have long gone, with many of those that linger on relying on manufacturing in the Far East.

    Maybe WHF could introduce a 'Britannia Award' to celebrate those rare products that are British owned, designed and manufactured.

    The exceptionally fine gear is still made in Britain. Just like the exceptionally fine American or French gear. China is not invited to those parties.
