The podcast team is back from its summer break refreshed and ready to dive back into the latest AV news, reviews and insight. Phil reviews the Philips 48-inch OLED807 TV, while Ed takes a look at the Neat Classic standmount speakers which took top marks in his recent assessment. He then gets to grips with why some audio companies concentrate on products with price tags that only footballers and energy company bosses can afford. Jules discusses video processors and how they can help with image quality while Ian presents the latest news from the worlds of AV and Hi-Fi. Plus, we introduce new team member Martin who’s got some experience of making films, not just watching them.

Presented by Phil Hinton with Ed Selley, Ian Collen, Julian Scott and Martin Dew.
