The Sound+Image Special Awards issue is on sale now in print and digital issues. Sound+Image magazine is one of What Hi-Fi?’s Australian sister publications: click here for more information on Sound+Image, including digital editions and details on how you can subscribe.

Since 1989, the Sound+Image Awards have celebrated each year the very best in audio and AV, recognising the products which have wowed us over the previous 12 months of our magazines Sound+Image, Australian Hi-Fi, Best Buys Audio & AV, and Audio Esoterica, and which represent our recommendations of the very best products available in Australia today in every audio and AV category. 

We were thrilled to get back to flesh-pressing this year with a Presentation Event during the Australian Hi-Fi Show 2023, where our Editor handed out the healing crystal Awards trophies among much mingling and industry natter among those responsible for creating and distributing these wonders of our age.

Our Special Awards Issue is on sale now, and has full information on every award-winner. Where we have a full review online, we have linked through to that from the awards listings here. 

So let’s honour them all and expound their virtues, while remembering that it’s all about the music, and also the movies, and sometimes the lovely shiny knobs on the front as well. 

Let the Awards commence! Click on one of the Category slides below to see that set of winners.
