Sorry, folks, but I just wanted to beat a dead horse. What Hi-Fi 2023 Awards have just been revealed today... Not that we should care much here at ASR, but let's have a bit of fun....
Some might say it is common knowledge that this magazine essentially rewards and praises products from UK companies. But is it a legitimate statement in reality ? Oh yes, it is !

If I only count categories directly related to Hi-Fi (and do not consider categories where UK has no manufacturer, such as tablets or TV), I got something like this :
Stereo Amplifiers : 4 amps out of ten 5 are from a British company.
Standmount Speakers : 7 out of 9 are from UK.
Floorstanding Speakers : A whooping 4 out of 4 !
Speaker Package : 4 out of 5. Fair, I guess...
Streamers : 3 out of 4 are from a British company.
CD Players : 2 out of 3...
Full System : Wow ! Only 3 out of 7 are British !
DACs: 3 sur 4 are from UK... (Yes, sure. China probably isn't a thing in DAC market...)
Turntables : 4 out of 6...
Accessories : 8 out of 11. Great.
You get the picture. I'm going to do the maths for you: Out of the 58 products above, 42 are from a British company. Which makes a total of 72.4% of products that received a 2023 Award. Plaudits !
