This year, a little later than usual, and in a new location, the audio world came together in Vienna for the annual High-End audio show. Two days of business-to-business and two days open to the public, a vast array of audio items were on display across the halls of the Austria Center Vienna – so much so, that the cornucopia of products is all a bit daunting! The main attractions being shown off are of course the audio systems on display. From the relatively modest to the don’t bother to ask the price, there were such a surfeit of choices that limits had to be set to avoid sensory burnout! With literally hundreds of systems, spread out over five floors and four halls, time allowed even those who most astutely surf the displays only a small selection. Nevertheless, for those of us who like listen to audio systems, as a business, a profession or a consumer, the HIGH END show does scratch the audio itch. This year's HIGH END Society luxury audio show moved from its former home in Munich to Vienna, with its Hapsburg heritage, exceptional art museums and Sacher Torte mit schlage.
