The best thing about hi-fi shows (aside from all of the gorgeous gear on display, of course!) is getting to scope out the new releases. There will be more than a few of those treasure troves for your to discover at tomorrow’s The Bristol Show. We’ve been busy ferreting around to see if we can bring you any previews of what to expect to see there – and we’ve managed to dig out a few gems.
One of the most prominent is the ‘revealing’ of the brand new Q Acoustics series: the 3000!
That right there is a Black Leather finish. Very Sonus Faber of you Q, we love it!
Aside from a few recent rumblings, up until now there hasn’t been much information out there about this hotly anticipated 5:1 system. But luckily they released enough information for us to give you a little run through just in time for their grande debut. The entire series has been designed from the ground up, delivering a smörgåsbord of new, evolutionary and revolutionary technologies that work beautifully in both an audio and an AV setting.
