Moscow Hi-Fi & High End Show 2026: 30th edition

About the event

Hi-Fi & High End Show Moscow is a 30th-anniversary exhibition for high-end audio and video equipment. The organiser describes its format as demonstrations and listening sessions in separate rooms, allowing visitors to compare systems and how they sound. The programme also advertises industry meetings, expert talks, intimate concerts and other themed activities.

The organiser’s page describes ten floors, more than 120 rooms and seven halls. It also advertises 400+ audio brands; this is a brand count in promotional copy, not a confirmed count of participating companies. Other named elements include a collection-vinyl zone, a business programme and the TOP HIGH END awards ceremony. These are presented as parts of the anniversary programme, without claims about winners or exhibition results.

The public programme preview lists cables and interfaces, choosing a sound card or DAC amplifier, home-cinema integration, vinyl systems and Russian audio brands. It names invited representatives of international audio companies and specialists from Russian distributors and brands. This is the visible programme excerpt; the full schedule and speaker list were not available in the public view.

Imlight announced its first participation in the Moscow show and plans to demonstrate Meyer Sound professional loudspeakers. Its announcement says the equipment, designed to professional standards, can also be heard in home and studio systems. The example illustrates the range of listening contexts described by participants, from professional audio equipment to its use in a private system.

Next Hi-Fi announced a demonstration of the Fyne Audio Vintage Classic Gold XII SP, a special production model in the Vintage Classic series. The company plans to pair it with a two-chassis Cary Audio amplifier and an Acoustic Signature Merlin NEO turntable; more compact systems using digital equipment and Hi-Fi ROSE are also announced. This is Next Hi-Fi’s own preview, not a complete show roster.

CTC CAPITAL described two system combinations. The first pairs a Musical Fidelity M6xi integrated amplifier with LS 5/9 Classic monitor speakers; the amplifier announcement lists dual-mono circuitry, an MM/MC phono stage, USB-C, optical and coaxial inputs, and HDMI eARC. The second combines a NU-VISTA 800.2 hybrid amplifier with TAD-CE1 TX-WN speakers on TAD stands. The company states the NU-VISTA 800.2 outputs more than 300 W per channel; the TAD-CE1 uses a coaxial CST driver and a slot port.

CTC CAPITAL’s announcement also lists additional listening equipment: the M6x TT turntable, M8x DAC, LS 3/5 A monitors, Monitor Stand 700 stands, B1xi amplifier and X-Tube valve buffer. The list also includes the X-Power conditioner, five-channel M6x 250.5 amplifier and floorstanding TAD E2-WN speakers. The announced selection spans vinyl playback, digital conversion, monitor speakers and several amplification components.

Nazarov Gallery announced a system built around MBL 111F floorstanding speakers, an MBL N51 integrated amplifier, an N21 power amplifier and an N31 CD player. The setup also includes a Stromtank S 2500 battery power source. The gallery describes this as a complete system; the checked announcement does not specify its room number.

Other company announcements cover different parts of the show. Overton describes its display theme as Scandinavian-style sound, while a separate Inforcom notice lists the REGA Mercury and Solis models. These are company statements about planned demonstrations, not a general or final map of all rooms.

The official event page names MIDEXPO as organiser. It separately labels Focal powered by Naim, Canton, Magico, Dan D’Agostino and Phaze Audio as partners. Those roles differ from the organiser’s role and do not by themselves confirm that the brands are separate exhibitor companies.

The published preview names Bill McKiegan of Dan D’Agostino, Olivier Visan of Davis Acoustics, Andrey Knyazkin of Pult.ru, Timur Goncharenko of TM PREMIERA, Mikhail Kryukov of Phaze Audio, Vasiliy Petrik of Petrik Audio and Valentin Kazanzhi of KENNERTON AUDIO EQUIPMENT. Mikhail Borzenkov is introduced as a blogger, broadcaster and audio expert. These are announced guests or speakers; their affiliations do not automatically form an exhibitor roster. The complete Glue Up schedule did not load during the saved source check.

The exhibition is scheduled for 23–25 October 2026 at the Borodino Congress Hotel, 13 Rusakovskaya Street, building 5, Moscow. Opening hours are 10:00–19:00 on 23 and 24 October and 10:00–18:00 on 25 October. The business programme is announced for Davydov Hall on the second floor. Company announcements identify specific demonstration rooms: Imlight in room 1104 on the eleventh floor, Next Hi-Fi in 1005, Overton in 1013, CTC CAPITAL in 601 and Inforcom presenting REGA in 501. These room numbers belong to the individual announcements and do not constitute a complete exhibition floor plan.
