What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision backs Manchester hi-fi show
We'll be revealing all our 2009 Award winners at the Sound and Vision Show, Manchester this October – don't miss it!

What's more, visitors to the show will be able to buy the Awards 2009 of the magazine, a week before it officially goes on sale, and you'll be able to see and hear our Award winners in action.
As if that's not enough, the entire What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision team will be on hand to answer all your hi-fi and home cinema queries, and we'll be running a state-of-the-art demo, just as we do at the Bristol Show.
Plus there will be exclusive show offers and competition prizes to be won.
Previously known as the Home Entertainment Show, Sound and Vision Manchester will take place over the 17th and 18th October and this year will see big changes.
Show gets a major makeover
Practical Hi-Fi, the company behind the exhibitions of previous years, merged with Audio T and Audio Excellence at the end of last year to create the Audio T Group. Under the new group's guidance, this year sees the exhibition undergo a major organisational makeover.
The entire team behind the Bristol Sound and Vision Show, which has now been going strong for 22 years, will be in control of October's exhibition and has promised the commitment of top UK and international brands, as well as special offers and bargains for those buying.
Sound and Vision Manchester will be held at the Renaissance Hotel, Manchester and will be open from 9.30 am until 5.30 pm on Saturday and from 10.00am to 5.00pm on the Sunday.
The 2009 show guide will be available two weeks before the event. Ticket prices have yet to be confirmed but will be available on the day.
For more information check out the Sound and Vision Manchester website and keep reading online and in the magazine for more details as the exhibition approaches.
