Prices are listed in CA$. Since DALI released its $150,000/pair flagship Kore loudspeaker over a year ago, I’ve seen it consistently demoed with NAD electronics, to good effect. This match-up always delivered powerful sound, authentic tone, and a huge soundstage. At this show, the Kore was supplanted by the company’s latest model in the series,…
I can’t imagine bigger audio news this year than that of Audio Research filing for something akin to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Fearing that such an iconic company – one I always took for granted as being indestructible – might possibly go under and disappear from the audio landscape was disheartening and unsettling to me.…
Prices listed are in CA$. You might assume that my mood darkened when a bass beat began pounding through my hotel room wall from the adjacent room while I was trying to concentrate on my writing, but it was the opposite. My mood was lifted. Swayed by the music’s tribal pulsations and sense of immediacy,…
Prices listed are in CA$. You want a simple-to-use system that sounds great, doesn’t clutter your room, and won’t break the bank? If you’re nodding yes, then the system being demoed in Le Studio du Son’s room just might be up your alley, especially if you don’t like big, heavy, inefficient amplification but do want…
I’ll be covering so much cool stuff it’ll make you feel like you’re here, covering the show with me.
I’ve been reporting on T.H.E. Show for PMA Magazine for 3 years now and every year I’ve been selecting PMA’s Top 3 Rooms of the show.
A brand heavily promoted by Roon to showcase their streaming software and gear is Dutch & Dutch. Photo 1 shows the full-range, Roon-ready, DSP-equipped, class-D powered model 8c ($14,950).
The last AXPONA I attended was five years ago. Much has since changed. The good news is that AXPONA was bustling this year.
This year’s edition boasted 77 exhibits, with over 180 brands on display.
Greetings! My name is Justin Brown and I’ve been a loyal exhibitor at the Toronto and Montreal Audiofests for years, but having no new products to showcase, my company decided to skip its turn at this year’s Toronto show. To my pleasant surprise, PMA Magazine asked if I’d visit the show in its entirety—a first…
Long ago are the days when CEDIA could be considered, among other things, a high-end audio industry show. Now it’s mostly for designers, sellers, and installers of various home and commercial electronics products that revolve around home automation—the Smart Home segment.
“Audio Show” is a funny term to me. “Audio” and “Show”. They don’t really fit together, do they? How can you show sound? Or is audio show shorthand for audio gear?
High End Munich is an extraordinary event unlike any other. Nowhere else can you hear and see such a large display of high-end gear assembled by exhibitors from around the world. I had a chance to attend the 2022 show, which ran from May 19 to 22. Over the course of those three days, I…
Audio show enthusiast and writer Mike Harkins travelled from his home in Austin, Texas, to the Canadian province of Quebec to visit the Montréal Audiofest, where he found the temperature in March to be a bit nippy. Welcome up North, Mike. Mike took down notes and took pictures at the show which he graciously allowed…
First impressions All prices listed in USD My wife is not an audiophile. But as a classically trained pianist and a professional musician, she has ears for sound quality. It’s why I sometimes seek her opinion after changing something in my audio system. This year’s T.H.E. Show, held in Long Beach, was her first audio…
