HiFi Show sound – it’s what HiFi Shows are all about. Stereonet HiFi & AV Show Melbourne 2025 is no exception. Blaming poor sound on the room is just an excuse. So who gave us great sound, what new brands were discovered and who got it terribly wrong?
Our golden-eared hosts visited the rooms, chatted to the designers, and listened, listened, listened. A no-holds-barred expose of the Show, the brands, the rooms and the sound.

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THIS EPISODE
