Every hi-fi or AV product that sits in your living room had to start somewhere. Some are brand-spanking new, while others have been around for more than 100 years.
Behind each product are years of experimentation and innovation. But where did their journeys start? We have picked a few of our favourite firsts, and challenge you to a battle of wits.
Plenty of technologies now used in the home were first developed for businesses, but we will be focusing on when they first became commercially available. There’s no prize for a spotless score sheet, but you can picture a thankful round of applause.
