Warsaw, 24–26 October 2025 – the 27th edition of Audio Video Show is kicking off, one of the largest exhibitions of audio-video equipment and home cinema in the world. This event attracts thousands of fans of good sound and picture every year. There’s no exhibition hall filled with echo and noise – instead, you’ll find VIP boxes at PGE Narodowy and the luxurious interiors of the Golden Tulip and Radisson Blu Sobieski hotels, where you can actually hear the differences between the equipment.
Real conditions, genuine experiences
Audio Video Show is not a dream catalogue, but a space for real testing. In each room, different tuning, different acoustics, different philosophy of playing. This is not an event for those who just want to "see what's new". This is a place for people who want to hear, feel and compare – without the pressure of a salesperson and marketing noise.
What will we see this year
Visitors can look forward to a wide range of the industry: from televisions and projectors, through hi-fi equipment, headphones, valve amplifiers, to home cinema systems and listening zones with the most exotic equipment in the world. Additionally, there will be premieres, prototypes, and devices brought to Poland only for the duration of the exhibition – from speakers costing 20 thousand to setups worth several million złoty.
Besides listening sessions and image demonstrations, there will also be seminars and presentations by experts. It's worth stopping by, as it's often there that you can understand why some setups sound so different – from the role of acoustics to the impact of HDR formats, cables, and calibration. This is a chunk of valuable information that helps better evaluate equipment and avoid marketing illusions.
Opening hours and practical tips
The exhibition will be open at the following hours:
Friday (24.10) – 12:00–20:00
Saturday (25.10) – 10:00–20:00
Sunday (26.10) – 10:00–17:00
Want to have a proper listening session? Choose the morning – fewer people, quieter acoustics, more time to talk with the exhibitor. And if you plan to check out televisions or projectors – bring your own test materials. Factory demos look nice, but they’re not always the truth about the panel’s capabilities.
Why it's worth being there
Because the Audio Video Show is not advertising, but an experience. Here you can compare, listen, and draw your own conclusions. No pressure, no marketing filter. If you're looking for equipment that will last "for years" or just want to confront myths with reality – you'll find answers right here. And if you're hoping for one "best set for everyone" – you won't find it. And thankfully so.
Let's meet there!
This year we'll be there as well – to see the latest premieres, chat with exhibitors, and check which systems really make a difference. If you’re also planning to show up, keep an eye out for our team – there will be a chance to talk about gear, calibration, and everything that plays and shines the best.
