Hi-Fi News - October 2016

Welcome to the 140-page November issue of Hi-Fi News & Record Review – the heartiest read in hi-fi by far – on sale 23rd September. Our cover is dominated by Wilson Audio's latest floorstanding flagship, the Alexx, which features technology and ideas from both its existing loudspeakers and the eagerly-antipated 'new WAMM' – Dave Wilson's magnum opus.

For lovers of tube amps, and very high sensitivity speakers, we have yet another exclusive review, this time of Luxman's MQ-300 triode amp – 8W and £15k. Crazy? Read KK's reaction in this issue…
