This weekend SCV return to the UK's longest-running high-end audio show at the incredible Royal Ascot Racing Club. Armed with a slew of exciting new products and even new brands, SCV aim to offer a formidable tour of some of the industry’s most impressive HiFi technology currently available, all in one grandstanding building.
Due to the current time of national mourning, the UK HiFi Show Live has been postponed. Further details will follow as soon as available.
