Warsaw, 24–26 October 2025 – the 27th edition of the Audio Video Show is starting, 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 image every year. There is no exhibition hall with echo and noise – there are VIP boxes at PGE National Stadium 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, true experiences
Audio Video Show is not a catalogue of dreams, but a space for real testing. Each room has a different tuning, different acoustics, a different philosophy of sound. This is not an event for those who just want to "see what's new". It is a place for people who want to hear, feel and compare – without the pressure of a salesperson and marketing noise.
What we will see this year
Visitors can expect a cross-section of the entire 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 20,000 to sets worth several million złoty.
In addition to listening sessions and image demonstrations, there will also be seminars and expert presentations. It is worth stopping by, as often it is there that one can understand why some sets sound so different – from the role of acoustics to the influence of HDR formats, cables, and calibration. This is substantial knowledge that allows for better assessment of equipment and helps avoid marketing illusions.
Opening hours and practical tips
The exhibition will be open at the following times:
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 meaningful listening experience? Choose the morning – fewer people, calmer acoustics, more time to talk to the exhibitor. And if you plan to check televisions or projectors – bring your own test materials. Factory demos are pretty presentations, but they don't always reflect the true capabilities of the panel.
Why it’s worth being there
Because the Audio Video Show is not an advertisement, but an experience. Here you can compare, listen and draw your own conclusions. No pressure, no marketing filter. If you are looking for equipment that will last “for years” or simply want to confront myths with reality – you will find answers here. And if you are counting on one “best set for everyone” – you won’t find it. And thank goodness for that.
Let's meet there!
This year we will be there too – to see the latest premieres, talk to the exhibitors and check which systems really make a difference. If you are also planning to appear, keep an eye out for our team – there will be an opportunity to chat about equipment, calibration and everything that plays and shines best.
