Munich High End Show 2023

[Fazioli]

It beats me how, with literally hundreds of exhibitors in these vast hangers and side rooms, anyone gets themselves noticed apart from displaying something outrageous either in size or shape. I had always wanted to visit after following Munich HE online and went a few years ago and found the whole experience a bamboozling cacophony. Yes, the side rooms were better, but with little music playing of the type to which I would normally listen, one room sounded much like another. I could only stand it for for a couple of hours.

I've never been to a Hi-fi show, and the videos I've seen certainly don't sell me on the idea.

Hundreds of sweaty old men, packed like sardines, jabbering over the music and standing in front of the speakers, filming for their Youtube channel.

Not that the music is ever anything I could tolerate listening to for more than five minutes.

Munich is particularly bonkers. I watched a few minutes of Michael Fremer's video, walking between dozens of rooms featuring boutique brands you've never heard of, selling awful looking products in the tens or hundreds of thousands. I guess they only need to sell a dozen or two to some crazy rich Asians.

My first port of call would have been the Silbatone room and then Living Voice/SJS Acoustics.
Great photo shoot link on Adam's post.

[It Cost How Much!?!]

Expensive jewellery in the main. Never been and have no interest in spending lots of cash going.

Nice pics though.
