I've been reviewing for a dozen years, and these are my top 12 Black Friday hi-fi deals for every category

Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 was £529 now £449 at Peter Tyson (save £80)
In our five-star B&W 607 S3 review, we called them "entertaining in spades" and "a delight". They set the bar high for clarity, refinement and detail, but also have plenty in the way of punch and dynamism to entertain. Ideal for a step-up system and for small rooms, these superb mid-price speakers originally launched at £599 and then dipped to £529 for the best part of this year – so this is a great new low price on our favourite standmount speakers.

Arcam A5 was £749 now £669 at Sevenoaks (save £80)
Arcam's most affordable new amp is also its best value. With 50W Class A/B amplification, the A5 integrated is incredibly talented. Analogue and digital connections, MM phono stage and even Bluetooth are on its list of connections, but the sound quality is truly impressive. "This is a superbly rounded performer that simply gets on with the job of playing music without intruding on the experience," we said. Balanced control, agile dynamics, full-bodied presentation round off its talents. Get the lowest price by signing up for Sevenoaks' Rewards club for free. What Hi-Fi? Awards 2024 winner

Pro-Ject Primary E: was £199 now £195 at Richer Sounds (save £4)
Our favourite budget turntable is a steal at its usual £199 price, but we've spotted a £4 saving. That may not seem like much, but it's worth it: the Primary E is a multiple Award-winner that nails the basics at this price, delivering a detailed, spacious, balanced sound that has ample drive and momentum. There's barely any set-up needed (everything comes factory-fitted) and, while it looks plain, this 'purist' design is a great starter turntable for those getting into vinyl. Besides, the £4 saved here can go into buying more records...

Arcam CD5 was £699 now £629 at Richer Sounds (save £70)
With CDs enjoying newfound popularity, it's a good time to revive your disc collection with a new player. Arcam's CD5 is our mid-price favourite, offering the same kind of fluid, engaging composure as its A5/A15 amplifier siblings. There's drive and attack, agility and impressive detail retrieval (especially with voices), all without ever sounding clinical or soulless. Whether you're spinning hip-hop, heavy metal or classical, the CD5 plays it all "with bags of personality and charm."
It also supports 24-bit/192kHz files through its digital inputs, supports gapless playback and is now £70 off – a worthy deal.

It's compact, affordable, sounds great and is packed with every popular streaming feature, and while it was a steal at full price, £50 off makes it feel almost too good to be true. What Hi-Fi?
