The first four-day High End Vienna exhibition, sponsored by the High End Society, officially opens at the Austria Center Vienna today, June 4, and continues until June 7, 2026.\n<\/p>\n
Like its predecessor High End Munich, High End Vienna is the largest and most important sound event in the world. A representative of High End Vienna told the most respected A Stereophile<\/i> colleague Jason Victor Serinus that this year’s show will have “nearly” 500 exhibitors, more than 1000 brands, at least 430 registered journalists (expected to be 550), and an estimated 22,000 visitors. The exhibition will fill the 30,000-plus square meters of the Austria Center Vienna. Two business-to-business startup days; the last two days are open to the public. To see who is exhibiting at the show and where, go here.\n<\/p>\n
Claudia Kazner, media and public relations manager of the High End Society, High End Vienna, told us A Stereophile<\/i> partners via email saying “we have over 500 exhibitors and participants and are offering more space on ACV [Austria Center Vienna] than before in Munich. We have four halls, and all ACV rooms are full. The number of rooms is almost the same in Munich, but we have a lot of variation in terms of size, from 21m2 to 500m2. The size of the halls is also bigger than in Munich. Overall, our exhibitors use more space in the halls and levels of ACV (rooms and halls) than in Munich.\n<\/p>\n
“Another difference is that exhibitors can also use free spaces in front of their rooms,” Kazner continued. “Maybe it helps if you look at the 360 \u200b\u200bdegree journey.”\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In addition to High End Vienna, other related satellite shows are taking place in this historic city over the next few days. The three-day HiFi Deluxe (June 5\u20137, 2026) is not entirely new; in fact, it has long been a satellite of the main High End show. HiFi Deluxe will be located at the Arcotel Kaiserwasser, which is said to be a nine-minute walk from the Austria Center. Some of the 40 or so brands listed at the show include Jadis, Metronome\/Kalista, and JMF Audio (and some of the HiFi Deluxe exhibitors are at High End Vienna as well).\n<\/p>\n

Located in the Techgate building – said to be a 3-4 minute walk from the main exhibition – we have 24 brands, including the likes of AudioNostrum, Vinnie Rossi, Esoteric, Transrotor, Siltech\/Crystal Cable, Artesania Audio, Kroma, Marten, YG Acoustics with TechDAS, Wadax, Tainnoy, Taikoac, Taikomac, Taikom\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Finally, the four-day Xclusive High End Show Vienna (June 4\u20137, 2026), which is a free event, is in the Ares Tower located across the street from the High End Vienna area and is said to be, at least, a five-minute walk from there. Xclusive lists eight brands on display, including Aequo Audio, Aries Cerat, and Pink Faun.\n<\/p>\n
