For HIGH END Vienna 2026, Airt Audio will once again be presenting a complete system built around one core principle: system synergy.
Every element in the room has been carefully selected not simply for individual performance, but for how it contributes to the overall musical result. For making this collaboration possible, we must extend a huge thank you to Manuel of Actual HiFi, our European partner, alongside Kimberley from Purist Audio Design.
This year’s room brings together many of the brands and people we work closely with throughout the year, including Entreq, Doshi Audio, Kalista, Avalon Acoustics, Purist Audio Design and Acustica Applicata, alongside some truly exceptional analogue front-end components.
Here’s a full look at this years sytem.
Entreq
Making a return to the HIGH END Society show and being a key part of this year’s room is Entreq. The implementation of Entreq grounding and equipment support has played a huge part in making this system sound as good as it does.
The system is built around two Entreq Athena equipment racks, grounded using Silver Tellus Tungsten grounding boxes, while Tellus 3 grounding boxes are being used both for equipment grounding and negative terminal grounding on the Doshi mono power amplifiers.
As always with Entreq, the goal is not to alter the character of a system, but to remove interference and allow components to perform more freely and naturally.
We are very pleased that Per-Olof Friberg (Founder & CEO) and Ted Denney will both be attending the event.
Avalon Acoustics
At the centre of the room are the remarkable Avalon Saga Signature loudspeakers. After last year’s performance and reviews, we simply couldn’t leave them out of this year’s system.
Saga Signature has quickly established itself as one of the most capable loudspeaker systems we have ever worked with, combining scale, authority and dynamic freedom with the kind of coherence and low-level resolution that allows music to feel completely unforced.
Their ability to disappear within a room while maintaining astonishing scale makes them the perfect loudspeaker for demonstrating a truly balanced reference system.
Doshi Audio
Providing amplification throughout the system is the award-winning Doshi Audio Evolution Series.
The room features:
- Evolution V3 Line Preamplifier
- Evolution V3 Phono Preamplifier
- Evolution V3 Tape Preamplifier
- Evolution V3 Mono Power Amplifiers
We’re also pleased to confirm that Nick Doshi will be attending throughout the show.
Analogue Sources
Analogue replay plays a major role in this year’s room.
Vinyl front ends include the Acoustical Systems A*Stellar turntable alongside the Kuzma Reference 2, both partnered with Tri-Planar tonearms and the flagship Charisma Audio Signature YYZ cartridge.
Tape replay will come from the iconic Studer 810 tape machine.
Trei Mai of Tri-Planar will also be present at the show, overseeing vinyl replay and setup throughout the event.
Kalista
Digital sources are handled by Kalista, whose combination of technical refinement and elegant industrial design continues to make them one of the most compelling names in high-end digital audio.
This year’s system features:
Supporting the digital front end are the Waversa Hub 3.0 battery-powered network switch and Waversa Reference Network Isolator, helping reduce network-borne noise and preserve signal integrity throughout the streaming chain.
Purist Audio Design
All cabling throughout the system is supplied by Purist Audio Design.
HIGH END Vienna 2026 will also see the introduction of PAD’s new Ruby Signature line alongside Crimson Legacy, two ranges that continue the company’s long-standing approach to preserving musicality, tonal density and low-level detail.
Kimberley, owner and brand ambassador for Purist Audio Design, will be present throughout the event.
Acoustic Treatment
Completing the room is acoustic treatment from Acustica Applicata.
Room acoustics remain one of the most important (and most overlooked) elements in achieving realistic musical reproduction. Their products play a vital role in allowing the system to perform consistently and naturally within the exhibition environment.
Meet the Team
Representing Airt Audio throughout the show will be Fraser and Glen, alongside many of the manufacturers and designers responsible for the products on demonstration.
HIGH END Society events are always about more than equipment alone. They are an opportunity to connect with customers, distributors, dealers and fellow enthusiasts, while sharing ideas and experiences around music and system building.
If you are attending HIGH END Vienna 2026, we would be delighted to welcome you into the room.
Come and experience the system for yourself.
