(June 10, 2026) On this episode of HTNR, we catch up on some of the most interesting AV stories leading up to High End Vienna. The show covers major product launches from Denon, Yamaha, StormAudio, Andover Audio, Ascendo, and DALI, highlighting everything from feature-packed AV receivers and affordable home theater packages to infrasonic amplifiers capable of delivering bass down to an astonishing 5Hz.
We also dive into StormAudio's new EVO 1 processor lineup, the company's first processors to enter a more accessible price category while retaining premium features such as Dirac Live, Dirac ART, and Dante support. Andover Audio follows up its impressive SpinBase platform with the new Model-One MK2, while Ascendo unveils a powerful new amplifier designed specifically for extreme home theater bass enthusiasts.
The episode also previews Audio Advice Live 2026, one of the country's premier home theater and hi-fi events. And we wrap things up with @Michael Scott 's latest disc reviews, new disc and Kaleidescape releases, the latest physical media sales charts, streaming trends, and a look at Focal's awesome Spring Sale.
