The 1980s and 1990s were the golden age of HI-FI in the UK, taking speakers as an example: Rogers Jazz, Monitor Audio, Epos Notation, Mordaunt Short Mint, Ruark Mighty, JPW, Heybrook, Tannoy Tianlang, B&W, KEF, Mission Bel canto, Celestion, Goodmans Good, Spendor Sponda, Harbeth Rainy First Sunny, Castle Castle, ProAc Noble, AE, Naim Tea, Linn Lotus, PMC, ATC, NEAT, Wilson Benesch, Wharfedale Le Rich. I can count more than twenty at once.
After entering the 21st century, the style of traditional HI-FI gradually changes, the British brand or closed, or acquired (especially by Chinese), or product transformation, now B&W, KEF is still a big name, ProAc, Jinchi, Sbenda, PMC and other few brands are still focused on audiophile speakers, but many featured small brands have disappeared (such as JPW) or no fever (such as Ruark in recent years to do Bluetooth speakers). Of course, there are also some newly born brands, such as Fyne Audio, which was founded by the original Tianlang team.
Driven by the investment of Chinese capital, brands such as Le Regal and Castle are "alive" and even occasionally launch new products, which can also be regarded as the continuation of these brands.
