Readers enjoy Atmos demo and Award winners at Dolby HQ in London

Fifteen lucky readers won an invite to our special Reader Event at Dolby Labs in London on Tuesday night. They'd won the chance to see and hear Dolby Atmos in action after entering a special competition here on whathifi.com.

As well as the chance to experience Dolby's private cinema at its Soho HQ, and a tour of its other facilities, they also got to see several hi-fi and home cinema systems made up from our 2013 Award winners (see below) and to meet members of the editorial team.
