It's not often that we get news of a whole lot of new audio products at the start of the year. About 12 years ago, when the Venetian Hotel was the home to all the high-end hi-fi brands during the annual CES show, the beginning of the new year meant feasting your eyes on very large, very shiny, very expensive hi-fi – from giant D'Agostino and McIntosh amps and Focal speakers to innovative new audio products from Meridian, Naim and more.
As the world changed and the consumer-tech landscape evolved, CES became home more to the latest innovations in the internet of things, smart home and AI tech, and, of course, new TV technology.
