THE AUDIO SHOW TIES UP WITH CLASSIC FM RADIO

Following a very successful promotional campaign for their Spring High Fidelity Show the organizers of the AUDIO SHOW have recently agreed a joint marketing partnership with CLASSIC FM RADIO. This is yet another step towards greater exposure for this International show, not only in reaching real music lovers but also and most importantly attracting new visitors by promoting the magic of High End Audio. “ Using a top class and focused Radio Station like CLASSIC FM allows us to reach a far greater market but it also allows us to get a far more informative and up to date campaign onto the streets much closer to the show says the organizers. Our spring show also proved that people are travelling greater distances for events such as this that are so pure in their content and appeal. We are delighted at the tie up and look forward to working with them”

Your chance to WIN a complete Hi-Fi system worth over £6,000!

Simply complete the visitor survey at the show for your chance to win.

The winner will be announced on the Monday after the Show.

Note: only one competition entry allowed per visitor. Good Luck! See in show for entry details.

Experience the amazing BASS Suite for yourself at the Audio & AV Show 08!

Individually approved last year by the likes of LINN, BENTLEY, CREEK/EPOS, AMPHION, EMILLE, RPM, HI-AUDIO, AUDIOBOFFS, REL etc, the ‘CHESTER GROUPS’ commitment to constantly improve their shows for both visitors and exhibitors alike is no more better demonstrated than in the development of their unique and exclusive BASS UNITS.

These Bespoke Acoustic Suites for Shows have not been developed as low cost enclosures to reduce noise but specifically designed to provide a level of audio performance superior to the average Hotel Suite, converted Bedroom or average domestic room. There appearance and function has been a priority, even the entrance door is special construction.

Thinking of building a NEW listening room at home? Chester Group even has a special BASS Suite for you!

Visit Henley in the Atlantis Suite

Simple name - amazing sound. For the PHONO, Audia Flight developed a new module preamplifier, called MCF NG1, delivering an amazing performance. Welcome to the next-genration of Phono Stage!!

Visit Henley in the Atlantis Suite

Beauty. Truth. Music. Listen.
High-quality all-in-one audio system for use with iPod/CD/Portable Media Player, utilising hybrid vacuum tube amplification technology and sonically matched speakers.
This means that the amplifier and dock elements are built into a single piece chassis, thereby providing an elegant and high impact design. The specification has been uplifted to include 2 pairs of source inputs (plus the iPod dock), a remote control which handles volume and tonal changes for all three sources, (plus all the iPod functionality) and a huge increase in power to 25w per channel. Coming complete with striking matching speakers or without, Red-i is a beautiful evolution of the iTube principle.

UK SHOW Launch - Project PerspeX

Visit Henley in the Atlantis Suite 

The brand new 6 PerspeX deck looks no different at first glance. There's the stylish, transparent, acrylic plinth, the substantial, non-resonant platter and a the carbon fibre, single piece tonearm. Perhaps the most eye-catching technology is the magnetic suspension, which allows the turntable and arm to be mounted on a sub-chassis that floats above the plinth thanks to three pairs of aligned magnets. The new Pro-ject 9cc Evolution tonearm is here too, fashioned from a single piece of carbon fibre in an effort to ensure the highest possible build quality and overall rigidity. All this technology, and plenty more besides...
