Audio Advice Live announces its return to the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, August 1–3, 2025. Now in its fourth year, the nation’s largest home entertainment event for consumers brings music and movie fans together to experience the latest in loudspeakers, electronics, projectors, TVs, turntables, headphones, and more. With over 60 experience rooms and more than 12 immersive Dolby Atmos theater systems, this action-packed global showcase is the place for attendees to discover new products and trends in home audio and video, and to meet and learn from key industry experts.

With a wide range of systems to explore from the biggest names and specialty brands in home entertainment—including Sony, JVC, Epson, Samsung, McIntosh, Sonus Faber, Bowers & Wilkins, Marantz, JBL Synthesis, SVS, KEF, Klipsch, and Kaleidescape—Audio Advice Live has something for everyone. And Qobuz returns as the show’s official streaming sponsor.

“We envisioned Audio Advice Live as a large-scale consumer event to showcase our partner brands,” said Scott Newnam, CEO of Audio Advice. “Now as we prepare to host our fourth show, it’s incredibly rewarding to see its continued growth as the premier destination for industry insiders, and an important product-launch event for our brand partners. It’s a special thing, too, for our team to see this event thrive right here in Raleigh, home to Audio Advice’s original retail location. The city is known for its vibrant music scene and inviting energy—there’s no better place to bring people together to celebrate everything we love about music, movies, and home entertainment.”

“Audio Advice Live 2024 was an electrifying celebration of music and sound,” said Johnny Williams, Vice President & General manager, Harman Consumer Audio. “It was an honor to join top audio brands and passionate fans in such a fun, high-energy atmosphere—truly a premier event for anyone who loves great audio.”

“Audio Advice Live is a home entertainment paradise,” said David Solomon, Qobuz’s VP Biz Dev/ High Res Music Evangelist. “This show keeps surprising me every year—it’s just so much fun! It’s easy to see and hear a wide range of products from the industry’s most desired brands. Qobuz is proud to return as the official streaming provider, continuing our mission to educate and inspire music lovers about the advantages of high-res music streaming.”
