Amplify AV Experience Centre Opens in Melbourne, Australia

Leading Australian distributor of premium audio-visual brands, Audio Active, has officially launched its new state-of-the-art experience centre in Port Melbourne.
Operating under the newly established Amplify Audio Visual brand, the experience centre has been purposely designed to showcase world-class audio-visual brand, and marks a significant investment in the future of high-end home entertainment.
The purpose-built space showcases a carefully selected range of home theatre and hi-fi solutions. According to Bruce Thierbach, General Manager of Sales and Marketing, "the space is designed not just to demonstrate products but to provoke thought and inspiration around what's possible in premium residential entertainment."
StereoNET attended the official launch this week, and what was remarkable was the attention to detail and consideration given to the experience of demonstrating and auditioning high-end home theatre systems for consumers.
Bruce added:
The Amplify branding allows us to speak directly to discerning end-users who want to experience the very best in audio-visual performance. It represents our commitment to quality, innovation, and immersive design.
The multi-room experience centre features stunning visual presentations powered by Sony and Kaleidescape, showcasing reference-level content through the world's most advanced movie players. Each room within the facility highlights premium audio brands, including Paradigm, Martin Logan, Anthem, StormAudio, Luxman, Pro Audio Technology, and Theory Audio Design, while demonstrating the full potential of cutting-edge home theatre systems.
Amplify AV is more than a showroom—the flagship space is promoted as an extension of Audio Active's retail partners, providing inspiration and hands-on experiences to integrators, dealers, and consumers across Australia.
The Amplify AV Showroom will officially open to the public on May 20th 2025.

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.
