Last year’s inaugural Audio Advice Live event was so successful that it will be back bigger and better when the 2023 edition of the show returns to the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Raleigh, NC this Friday. Are you going?
Bowers & Wilkins had three separate demo experiences at Audio Advice Live 2023. The company exhibited its 801 D3 flagship loudspeakers, powered by Classé electronics, as well as 700 series S3 speakers; a demo of great relevance to me since I have 700 series speakers in for review. And a powerhouse home theater performance with Marantz handling power and processing.
CEDIA Expo 2023, North America’s largest showcase of smart home and AV entertainment technology, is underway at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. With an estimated attendance north of 18,000, the expo is the place where custom integrators and professionals engaged in the home technology test drive the latest products and services from more than 350 brands spanning 150,000 square feet of exhibit space. Here’s a peek at some of the products AV-focused exhibitors are introducing at this year’s gathering. More show coverage can be found here.
Lenbrook, owner of Bluesound and the renowned NAD and PSB brands, today announced that its BluOS music-management platform will receive a robust update this fall aimed at revitalizing the mobile app experience and delivering a more personalized way to control music across multiple listening zones.
Dolby Labs today announced a new technology that will make it easy for owners of Atmos-enabled TVs to create a heightened audio experience by “seamlessly pairing” one or more wireless speakers to the set’s onboard sound system without having to worry where the speakers are located.
The stunning new T66 tower speaker will be front and center in the GoldenEar exhibit when CEDIA Expo 2023 opens its doors tomorrow morning. (Watch these pages for coverage from the show floor.)
Samsung today announced the addition of an 85-inch screen size to its Terrace series of outdoor 4K TVs, a category the company sees growing in popularity as more people look to enjoy TV entertainment in the backyard.
Samsung today expanded its ultra-big-screen offerings with its first 98-inch 8K TV — a move timed to woo custom installers/integrators attending CEDIA Expo 2023, which opens tomorrow morning.
I'm in Denver for CEDIA 2023. So far, the show has been impressively busy, and I've heard anecdotally from numerous vendors that they are doing brisk business. Day one and day two featured jam-packed booths, and I explored the floor, but largely skipped doing the demos because they take time and the lines were long. On day one and day two, I focused on video interviews from various exhibitors that you will find here, with more to come.
The CEDIA Expo 2023 that ended Saturday in Denver was a bustling showcase of the latest and greatest in smart home and AV home entertainment technology. Booth tours are a staple of any trade show, providing an overview of a company’s product lineup with highlights of its newest gear. Here we go behind the scenes with MartinLogan, Origin Acoustics, OSD Audio, and Sanus.
CEDIA Expo 2023 offered an opportunity to peruse a plethora of audio and AV products aimed at the CI (custom install) market. Much of what's on display is excruciatingly expensive and targeted at wealthy consumers. Case in point, one of the most popular demos involved a home theater system with a million dollars worth of gear in it. At that price point, a $12,000 video player and $16,000 video processor seem like almost trivial expenses.
Good speakers are the cornerstone of any music or home theater system and they were plentiful at last week’s CEDIA Expo 2023 in Denver. But instead of traditional freestanding speakers, the focus was on speakers designed for mounting in or on the wall, indoors and outdoors, with a few notable exceptions. Check out our booth visits with JL Audio, DALI, PSB, and the king of lifestyle speakers, Bang & Olufsen.
