Airt Audio at the StereoNET UK Hi-Fi & AV Expo 2026

This year Airt Audio are attending the StereoNET UK Hi-Fi & AV Expo 2026 at the Radisson RED Hotel, London Heathrow. We will be hosting two rooms of the worlds best hi-fi from across our award-winning portfolio.

Each room has been assembled to demonstrate both complete system synergy and the importance of our core Lowering the Noise Floor (LTNF) principles with each component on demo being chosen for how it contributes to the musical result of the system as a whole. The two rooms let us demonstrate that idea through two very different high-end systems.

Our first room brings together components from across the range of the brands we represent into a coherent whole. Our second room is presented in partnership with Tidal Audio and Lotus HiFi where you will be able to experience the latest Tidal Audio loudspeakers alongside acoustic room treatment from Acustica Applicata.

We would like to thank the manufacturers, designers and partners joining us across the weekend for making both rooms possible. Here is a full look at what we will be showcasing.


The Endeavour Room — Hosted by Airt Audio

StereoNET show 2026

The Endeavour Room will feature a full Airt Audio reference system, spanning analogue and digital front ends, reference amplification, flagship loudspeakers, and the grounding, equipment support and acoustic treatment that bring the whole system together to perform at its best.

Avalon Acoustics – Saga Signature

At the heart of the room are the Avalon Acoustics Saga Signature loudspeakers. Following their performance in our recent show systems, they were an obvious choice once again. Saga Signature combines scale, authority and dynamic freedom with the coherence and low-level resolution that allow music to feel completely unforced.

Vitus Audio

Reference amplification and digital components come from Vitus Audio, with three products on demonstration:

  • SL-103 Preamplifier — the award-winning Signature-series line stage
  • SM-025 Mono Power Amplifiers — the latest power amp from the brand
  • SD-025 DAC / Streamer — the award-winning digital source, handling streaming and conversion in a single chassis

Together they represent the balance of measured engineering and musical naturalness that is the Vitus signature. We are delighted that Hans-Ole Vitus and Lukas Birk Eriksen will both be with us throughout the show.

Doshi Audio — Evolution SE Phono Stage

Making its first appearance in the UK is the Doshi Audio Evolution SE Phono Stage. Doshi’s Evolution Series has a well-earned reputation for drawing the very best from a vinyl front end, and the SE phono stage is a rare opportunity for UK visitors to hear it in a fully resolved reference system. Nick Doshi will be attending throughout the weekend.

J.Sikora & Aidas

Analogue replay is built around J.Sikora turntables, with both the Reference and the Standard MAX on demonstration — two decks that showcase the precision engineering and build quality that have made J.Sikora one of the most talked-about names in turntables over the last few years. Cartridge in use is the Mammoth Gold from the range of hand-built Aidas cartridges we are proud to distribute in the UK.

We are pleased to be welcoming Robert Sikora and Adam Niezbecki from J.Sikora throughout the show.

Entreq & OePhi

As with all our systems, careful attention has been paid to the noise floor. The room is grounded and supported with the Entreq Athena equipment support. As always with Entreq, the aim is not to alter the character of the system but to remove interference and create the ideal conditions for the system to perform in. Cabling comes from Entreq and OePhi.

Acustica Applicata

Completing the room is a complete acoustic solution from Acustica Applicata. Room acoustics remain one of the most important and often most overlooked elements in musical reproduction. Acustica Applicata’s treatment allows the system to perform consistently and naturally, something that is tricky to achieve within an exhibition environment. Italo Adami of Acustica Applicata will be with us throughout the show.

On display

Alongside the demonstration system, the Endeavour Room will feature a display of Doshi Audio electronics, OePhi loudspeakers, and digital sources from Métronome and Kalista.


The Earhart Room — Airt Audio with Tidal Audio & Lotus HiFi

TIDAL Audio Piano Classic loudspeaker

Our second room is a collaboration with Tidal Audio and Lotus HiFi. Hand-built in Germany, Tidal Audio is quite simply a byword for uncompromising engineering, exquisite craftsmanship and a sonic philosophy of complete transparency. This room gives UK visitors the rare chance to experience a brand-new Tidal system in full.

On demonstration:

  • Tidal Audio Piano Classic — the new loudspeaker taking centre stage in this room
  • Tidal Audio Contros G2 — preamplifier, streamer and DAC in a single reference-grade unit
  • Tidal Audio Intra — stereo power amplifier

The system is supported by acoustic treatment from Acustica Applicata.

On display

The Earhart Room will also feature a display of other Tidal Audio components, giving visitors the opportunity to see the breadth of the range up close:

  • Tidal Audio Piano G3
  • Tidal Audio Contriva G3
  • Tidal Audio AP1
  • Tidal Audio Prisma
  • Tidal Audio Camira

Meet the Designers

One of the pleasures of a show like this is the chance to meet the people behind the products. Joining us across the weekend are:

  • Italo Adami — Acustica Applicata
  • Hans-Ole Vitus and Lukas Birk Eriksen — Vitus Audio
  • Nick Doshi — Doshi Audio
  • Robert Sikora and Adam Niezbecki — J.Sikora

Whether you are curious about system building, the engineering behind a particular component, or simply want to talk music, our guests and the Airt Audio team will be on hand throughout both days.


Floorplan

StereoNET 2026 floorplan

We are hosting two rooms at this year’s show — the Endeavour Room and the Earhart Room. The whole show is laid out on a single ground floor, so both are easy to find. Do give yourself time to hear each system; they are two very different demonstrations of the same guiding principle.


Come and Say Hello

Representing Airt Audio across both rooms throughout the show will be Fraser Robertson, Glen Furness and Steve Forrest, alongside the manufacturers and designers responsible for the products on demonstration.

If you are attending, we would be delighted to welcome you into both of our rooms. Come and experience the systems for yourself.
