If you were keeping your eye on of Facebook and Twitter pages this weekend, you'd have noticed that we were among many of you, scoping out the latest and the greatest products and concepts from within the world of hi-fi at the wonderful Bristol Show 2015! This year, the final tally for exhibitors was 195, so as you can imagine there was a great deal to get through. But we ploughed on as best as we could and got lots of lovely pictures, as well as a few sneak-peeks of the kind of gear that we will

Students! We love them. They work hard, they play hard, and most of us here at AA have experienced that awesome student lifestyle for ourselves! But where does hi-fi fit in? I'm sure you know the answer to that already: it fits in everywhere! But if you're lucky enough to be heading back onto campus after the Christmas break, you will probably not have a great deal of cash to fritter away. But never fear, we are here to give you the best possible suggestions at the best possible prices. We have put

Want a little extra festive cheer to guide you through the winter months? Of course you do. And you're in luck: if you purchase a KEF E305 5.1 speaker system between now (15th of December) and the 31st of March, you will automatically get a FREE pair of M200 earphones.

And that's it! No catches, no ifs and no buts - just a free pair of high-fidelitty headphones described as so by What Hi-Fi: "interesting, ambitious design and their bass power is out of this world."

If we're honest, it's a good

Let's face it - hi-fi is sexy. Music is sexy, and high fidelity music is even sexier. Decades ago, beautiful women posing with turntables, vinyl records, headphones and wireless radios was very much a thing, and that trend has continued to this day (.... mostly with glamour models, admittedly!) and why is that? Because hi-fi is sexy! And setting the mood with it is easy too - you just have to get the components right.

Hi-fi can make a pretty sexy Christmas gift too. Not only will it give your

Did you know that hi-fi can make fantastic stocking stuffers? If you're kids still get the stocking treatment (... my mum still does for me, and I'm 25!) then knowing what to stuff them with can sometimes be a daunting task. But never fear, Audio Affarir are here. And we have lots of ideas for stocking stuffers and tree-fillers (some won't quite fit in a stocking) to keep a smile on the faces of your little (and not so little!) monsters.

Maybe they're already into their hi-fi and need a few accompanying

The nature of high fidelity means it requires an acute focus of knowledge, expertise, research and resources in order to achieve it. This is why the best of the brands tend to have one major speciality, with perhaps one or two minor sub-specialities that are still linked to the major. Spreading yourself too thin by producing an array of products can often mean trouble - something will have to give, right? Usually, yes. But every now and then you will stumble across a brand that manages to do it all:

If you’re a music lover (and let’s face it, if you’re reading this, the likelihood is you are) you want quality audio to follow you wherever you go, right? There’s nothing quite like a long, solitary walk with your headphones on and music blaring, or snuggling up on a train and drowning out the buzz of your fellow travellers with your desired soundtrack. The only thing that can make these sensations even greater is the quality of the headphones delivering the audio.

Comfort, sound quality, durability,

Christmas is coming - the time to dig deep and show those closest to you how much you mean to them. And you don't get much closer than your dear old dad! What's great about getting your dad a Christmas present (or two!) is it's finally a chance to give him something back - and a hi-fi gift speaks volumes! But where to start?

To give you a helping hand, we've put together a list of hi-fi gifts for Dads, perfect for Christmas (or indeed any time of year) and guaranteed to raise a smile. Whether he's

Just in case you didn't get the memo... Christmas is coming! Getting caught up in the hullabaloo of buying presents, wrapping presents, writing cards, sending cards and scurrying about with the kids - means sometimes planning the more intricate details of the day itself can sometimes fall to the wayside. Namely - your hi-fi needs. Sure, you've planned the dinner right down to who sits where, you know how to carefully arrange the presents under the tree so the best ones are saved for last - but
