Vienna Calling - High End Moves From Munich

High End Munich faces its final year in 2025 with a groundbreaking move to Austria.

The High End show is a favourite amongst many audiophiles and the hi-fi industry alike, with the MOC and surrounding area feeling like a second home for many of us. However, from 2026 High End moves to a new venue in Vienna.

High End 2025 will be held in the MOC Event Center from May 15 to 18, 2025, with the show's debut at the Austria Center Vienna (ACV) in May 2026.

We are told that the ACV is a "first-class event venue" following recent remodelling and is situated in the heart of Austria's capital.

High End Society points out that the new venue offers a variety of modern rooms in different sizes for exhibitors to showcase their products and technologies, with additional rooms and spacious halls available for exhibitors to set up their individual stands.

The ACV boasts 26,000 square meters of exhibition space on several levels in the main building as well as the adjoining halls, enabling exhibitors to find optimal conditions for their various needs.

The move was tested by those who took part in the Finest Audio Show Vienna in November 2023 with the organisers receiving consistently positive feedback with the current registration figures for this year's FAS Vienna underscoring the fact that the ACV is an excellent choice for the new home of the High End Show.

Stefan Dreischärf, Managing Director of the show organiser, told StereoNET:

The Austria Center Vienna not only scores with excellent exhibition conditions, but also with a progressive environment that will raise the level of the High End and ensure its success in the coming years. We are convinced that we can take the High End show to a new level with this move and we look forward to the opportunities that this change will no doubt bring.

StereoNET is looking forward to attending the show in this cosmopolitan city on the Danube River - not least because we appreciate excellent coffee.

Of course, there is also the fact that the Austrian capital is easily accessible and, as one of the world's music capitals, it provides the perfect backdrop for the High End audio show, which is all about excellent sound reproduction and music.

As a strong community, the High End Society is looking forward to the upcoming trade shows with high hopes, as the move from Munich to Vienna will mark a groundbreaking step into a promising future.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
