What Hi-Fi? has teamed up with Residential Systems and Twice to pick the best innovations and products to come out of the CEDIA Expo 2023.

Items include everything from top-of-the-line home cinema projectors to uber-expensive speaker systems.

Like previous years, every entry was submitted for consideration by the manufacturer. It was then judged by a panel of experts to gauge its value, impact and uniqueness.

What Hi-Fi? specifically judged its entries from the perspective of its readers who are home entertainment enthusiasts. Meanwhile, Residential Systems entries were judged from the perspective of a residential integrator. Finally,  TWICE made its judgments from the perspective of a consumer electronics retailer.
