The quest for building the dream system starts with auditioning your favourite brands. Sure, reviews are a great starting point and no one would agree more on their efficacy in narrowing down your choices than us. But ultimately it's all about how well a piece of kit performs and there is no substitute for experience. Bringing our highly curated format to Bengaluru for the third time got us closer to you, our primary audience and allowed key stakeholders of the southern trade to network and connect with theirs. The visitors have come to expect a heady mix of exclusive launches, jaw-dropping demos and a day filled with audio/video nirvana. Needless to say, the What Hi-Fi Show Bengaluru managed to check all the boxes and the luxurious Ritz Carlton hotel was positively buzzing with erudite audiophiles and passionate videophiles. Here's the full report.
