The State We’re In – Rebooting
High-End Audio

Moderator: Alan Sircom, editor, Hi-fi+ magazine

Good sound has never been cheaper or more freely available.
So where does that leave high-end audio? Is it just a collection of highly
polished, expensive things, or is there more to high-end than that? It’s time
to re-evaluate what constitutes good audio and rediscover how to make a new
generation excited by music once more.
