Montreal Salon Audio / Montreal Audio Fest 2017 Show Report

  Montréal's Salon Son & Image high-end audio show, now the Montréal Audio Fest, was celebrating their 30th anniversary! Now reconstituted as a non-profit organization, it continues to cater to an ever-growing community. The Montréal Audio Fest 2017 show is not only the oldest specialty audio salon in North America, but also the only one that, for the second year, offers free admission to all. Promoters of Montréal's Audio Fest wanted you to get involved by sending them your ideas, help promote it, plus encourage your favorite dealers and distributors to exhibit. They also sought out volunteers to give them a hand.

The Montréal Audio Fest hoped to bring in more than 5000 visitors who want to hear, see and touch over 300 brands of audio products under one roof. You could have met many exhibitors, all eager to share their passion for music with you. There was also a 'Personal Audio Fest' with the latest models of headphones, portable audio players, DACs and mobile amplifiers. This year's Montréal Audio Fest brought a new vinyl marketplace with several dealers. They brought you scores of gently used LPs in excellent condition, and at good prices too.
