Hi-fi Centre is playing host once again to the Vancouver Audio Festival from April 20th, to 21st. This is the second time the downtown dealer has stepped into the void left by the cancellation of the Vancouver Audio Show by Chester Group. Owner Igor Kivritsky said it was a “no-brainer” after a successful trial run in 2017.
“We were extremely pleased with the attendance and reactions we received last year and have decided to make this an annual event. There are two main reasons for the festival. First is for seasoned audiophiles to have a chance to experience products that they would otherwise have to travel hundreds of miles to see, and second is for those new to the hobby, or those who are simply curious, to get a taste of what we’re all going on about.”
“Every industry has its icons and if you’re fortunate, or crazy, enough to live in places like New York, these icons are often on display for you to see, touch and hear. While in our little village of Vancouver it’s not possible to have them on display year round, it is our pleasure to present several icons of our industry to our customers and friends during the Vancouver Audio Festival at Hi-FI Centre.”
