Press release | Hi-Fi Centre, Western Canada's premier high-end audio destination, announces the return of the Vancouver Audio Festival on Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This free public event transforms their downtown Vancouver showroom into dedicated demonstration spaces, offering audiophiles and music enthusiasts exclusive access to world-class audio equipment and never-before-seen products in the Vancouver market. Drawing hundreds of audio enthusiasts since 2010, the festival offers comprehensive product demonstrations and intimate listening experiences that allow visitors to truly appreciate what exceptional equipment can deliver.
The 2025 festival will feature exclusive Vancouver debuts from several prestigious audio manufacturers, including the highly anticipated Estelon Forza loudspeakers, CH Precision's C10 and D10 components, and Luxman's D10X, C10X, and M10X components. Additional first-time Vancouver showcases include the Marten Parker Quintet speakers and Linn's Klimax Solo 500 amplifiers.
"This event represents everything we love about high-end audio – the chance to experience exceptional sound quality in an optimal environment while connecting directly with the people who create these remarkable products," said Igor Kivritsky, President at Hi-Fi Centre. "We've been hosting these intimate audio gatherings for over fifteen years because we believe nothing replaces the experience of hearing these systems properly demonstrated."
The festival will showcase products from more than 20 world-renowned brands, including Bowers & Wilkins, Focal, KEF, Naim, Marantz, Rega, Transparent, Hegel, Innuos, JVC, Linn, Luxman, Audioquest, Burmester, CH Precision, Estelon, Eversolo, Marten, and Matrix Audio. Each showroom will feature carefully curated systems, with brand representatives and Hi-Fi Centre experts available to guide attendees through demonstrations and answer technical questions.
"Events like the Vancouver Audio Festival give us something you simply can't get at larger shows – genuine, unhurried conversations with people who truly love music," said Kevin Wolff, Head of International Sales at CH Precision. "In Hi-Fi Centre's more personal setting, we can spend real time with each visitor, understand what they're looking for, and let them experience our products the way they're meant to be heard.”

About Hi-Fi Centre
Founded in 1984 by Alex Kivritsky with a vision of offering high-performance brands and premium service, Hi-Fi Centre has grown to become Western Canada's premier high-end audio destination over 41 years. Located at 23 West Pender Street in downtown Vancouver, the family-owned business serves as the #1 dealer in Canada for virtually all major brands they represent and has earned industry recognition that includes a Gold Award in CE Pro's 2021 Home of the Year competition.
Hi-Fi Centre's consultative approach transcends traditional retail, with staff acting as advisors who help customers achieve their audio goals rather than simply selling products. The company's commitment to excellence is reflected in remarkably low staff turnover, with team members dedicated to the business since the mid-1990s, and vendor relationships spanning over 30 years that form the foundation of their success.
The Vancouver Audio Festival continues a tradition that began in 2010. It has evolved into an annual celebration of audio excellence that attracts enthusiasts from all over BC and the Pacific Northwest.
