We are just a moment away from the annual celebration of lovers of the highest quality sound and image. Next Friday, October 24th, at 12:00 PM, Audio Video Show 2025 will kick off. For three days (October 24-26), three locations in Warsaw – PGE Narodowy, Radisson Blu Sobieski, and Golden Tulip – will be filled to the brim with the latest hi-fi, high-end, and premium video equipment. This is the only opportunity of the year to see the technologies that will define the future of home entertainment. We have selected 9 absolutely essential points on this year's exhibition map that showcase its incredible scope.

The heart of the system will be the Focal Grande Utopia EM Evo speakers powered by Naim Statement electronics. The value? A staggering 5 million zlotys (approx. 1.2 million dollars).
