Audio Advice Live has announced 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 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,” says 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.”
In addition to the demo experiences, Audio Advice Live will feature Deep Dive Sessions throughout the weekend, as well as live music. On Friday evening, attendees will enjoy a special event at the nearby Lincoln Theater: a live concert featuring Sleepy Booty, the ultimate 12-piece band bringing a high-energy choreographed performance, and a special state-of-the-industry keynote address from Newnam.
Audio Advice Live offers one-day and three-day ticket options, and children and students under 21 are admitted free. Admission includes access to experience rooms, panel discussions, and the Friday concert and keynote address at Lincoln Theater.
