With an intense heat wave bearing down upon us across Europe this week, you might want to hide indoors and spend some nice, cool hours with your hi-fi system.

If that then leads you to think you might be in need of an upgrade, this is a great place to find a deal or two. Hi-fi can be an expensive hobby, and there's nothing better than finding a great discount on a brilliant audio product.

We've kept a close eye on the major retailers and hi-fi specialists, and have combed through the deals to find the best savings on some top-rated CD players, stereo amplifiers, turntables, streamers, stereo speakers and more.

The good news is there are plenty of great deals out there – the Amazon Prime Day sales are underway, and many hi-fi retailers join in on the action – and we've compiled them into this handy list. We've only highlighted the deals on products that our in-house expert reviews team has personally tested and would recommend ourselves. This means if you take the plunge on any of these deals, you'll be getting a genuine recommendation from our first-hand experience.

Originally tested at £749, although we've seen them listed for £649 in recent months, this is still an all-time low price deal.

Naim Nait XS 3 : was £2,499 now £1,799 at Peter Tyson

We tested the superlative Naim Nait XS 3 at £2199, but it tends to sell these days for £2499 at full price. That is, unless a very tasty £700 discount comes along and knocks the Naim down to a far more tempting price of £1799. At that price, there isn't a finer amplifier that we can think of on the market today. You'll need to be quick, though.
