Our cover star this month is the XR-75X95K, Sony’s first ever Mini LED 4K TV. This 75in set promises high-contrast, high-brightness bigscreen visuals from its advanced backlight engine and Sony’s proprietary processing – all at a tempting price. We give our verdict…
Also on the test bench this issue is Denon’s AVC-A1H, the Japanese marque’s most advanced AV amplifier yet. Does this 15-channel heavyweight live up to its reference-status billing? We also run the rule over Acoustic Energy’s reborn 100 Series in a 5.1 speaker system; JBL’s affordable, compact Bar 300 soundbar; Anthem’s range-topping MCA 525 Gen 2 multichannel power amplifier; the UDP800 universal 4K disc player from Magnetar; Philips 55OLED+907 4K TV; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered!
On the software side, we check out new Blu-ray, 4K and streaming releases including Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Rocky: The Knockout Collection, Violent Night and The Mandalorian: S3. We also pick our thirty favourite horror-comedy movies, and turn the clock back to 1974 to celebrate Tobe Hooper’s terrifying classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Elsewhere, we report on the sonic highlights of this year’s Bristol Hi-Fi Show; head to Amsterdam for a sneak preview of Philips’ 2023 TV lineup; report on a custom install movie room with Steinway Lyngdorf sound and JVC 8K projection; and explain why the new 48fps, Dolby Atmos cinema release of Titanic floats our boat…
Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
