From The Audio Files

HIGH END Vienna 2026 was outstanding for HARMAN Luxury Audio, and the coverage speaks for itself. JBL took center stage with the debut of the Summit Everest and K2 flagship loudspeakers, the culmination of the Summit series and a fitting way to mark 80 years in the business. Press response was enthusiastic across consumer tech, audiophile, and custom integration outlets alike, with one reviewer memorably noting the Summit Everest felt like it could “rumble me right out of my seat.” ARCAM brought its own milestones to Vienna, unveiling the A50 Signature Amplifier and CD25 Player as the centerpieces of its 50^th anniversary celebration, earning well-deserved recognition from the high-end audio press. It was a strong showing for the portfolio at one of the year’s most prestigious stages, and a reminder of why both brands command the attention they do.      By David Glaubke
