Considering the stock, shipping and chip shortage issues that the hi-fi industry has faced globally over the past couple of years, it is hardly surprising that we haven't been showered with hi-fi deals for a while, or that prices of hi-fi kit have in many cases actually risen in this challenging climate. Amazon's Prime Day shopping events earlier in the year didn't offer much for hi-fi fans, typically prioritising popular consumer electronics items over bigger-ticket audio components, and many RRPs on five-star products and What Hi-Fi? Award 2022 winners have held firm. This is why I'm delighted to see so many really strong hi-fi deals up for grabs this Black Friday week.
It was genuinely hard to pick what I believe to be the strongest handful, so if there is nothing below that suits your system, budget or requirements, that shouldn't put you off looking further afield. Far from it. I would strongly recommend perusing UK retailers' Black Friday sales (as I have done to pick these five) or seeing our longer curated list of Black Friday hi-fi deals, as it truly does appear to be a great time to bag a bargain. That's if you are actually looking to upgrade, of course. If you're happy with your system as it is, you aren't really saving anything by bagging one of the deals; you're just spending money that you needn't have!
So without further ado, here are five brilliant hi-fi deals on five-star kit that you can take advantage of right now, in order of, in my opinion, appealingness, because I couldn't help myself...
