BRISTOL SHOW 2008: Just six weeks to go!
It seems just a matter of months since the WHAT HI-FI? SOUND AND VISION Show at Novotel London Hammersmith – well, it was – and yet it's event-time all over again, this time courtesy of the annual Bristol Sound and Vision Show.
From Friday 22nd until Sunday 24th February, the Marriot City Centre Hotel in Bristol will become the mecca for hi-fi and home cinema manufacturers and enthusiasts alike.
Almost 160 AV brands will be showing off a wealth of new products, and we will, of course, also be there. We'll have another top-notch demo room for you to enjoy, as well as a sound advice desk where you can pick the entire review team's collective brain about absolutely anything from the world of AV.
