Henley Audio Brands at High End Vienna 2026: The New Hi-Fi Launches to Watch

It’s day three at High End Vienna 2026, and the momentum around the show is impossible to ignore. With a host of new product announcements across the Henley Audio portfolio, this year’s event is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory. Below, we round up the standout launches and previews from our brands at the show.

HiFi Rose: A New Power Player Steps Forward

HiFi Rose used Vienna to unveil the new RA80 amplifier, which is expected to launch in Q3. In one of the show’s listening rooms, visitors were treated to a powerful demonstration featuring two RA80 amplifiers partnered with the RS151 streamer, RD160 DAC, RA180 and Piega Master Speakers. For anyone following the evolution of premium streaming and amplification, the RA80 is set to be a particularly interesting addition to the HiFi Rose line-up.

Loewe: Cabasse Appears and We. BOOST Expands

Loewe had Cabasse on display for the first time since acquiring the iconic French brand in April. The company also revealed that a new centre channel will be added to the We. BOOST range, signalling further growth for Loewe’s lifestyle and home entertainment offering.

Musical Fidelity: Chrome Finishes and New Deck Appeal

Musical Fidelity had a wide-ranging display in Vienna, combining new finishes with early previews of upcoming products. Among the highlights were chrome-finished versions of the M6si and M3sCD, alongside early samples of the M8x CD and A1 CD T. For vinyl fans, the new M3x TT stood out as a more affordable route into the brand’s turntable range, sitting below the M6x TT and M8x TT while retaining the premium appeal expected from Musical Fidelity.

Pro-Ject: Big Reveals on Home Soil

As ever, Pro-Ject arrived at the High End International Audio Show with energy, ambition and plenty to talk about. With the event taking place in Austria for the first time, the brand was very much on home turf and made the most of the occasion through a mix of new launches, fresh finishes and a show-stopping Harley Davidson collaboration.

PAC: Heritage, Celebration and Fresh Innovation

It was an especially busy show for Premium Audio Company, with both Klipsch and Onkyo celebrating their 80th anniversaries in 2026. That milestone brought with it a number of limited-edition finishes and celebratory touches designed to honour two of audio’s most recognisable names.

One of the standout concepts at the show was a museum-inspired installation that invited visitors to explore the stories, products and legacy behind both brands. Alongside that tribute to history, the company also used Vienna to unveil new finishes for Onkyo, expand the Klipsch Heritage Series and introduce all-new technology from Magnat.

Ortofon: Moving Further into the High End

Building on the momentum of the MC X Series, first launched at last year’s High End show in Munich, Ortofon used Vienna to introduce the new MC X50. Positioned to bridge the gap between the MC X range and the acclaimed Cadenza Series, the MC X50 pushes further into high-end vinyl playback. If that was not enough, Ortofon also unveiled the MC Vertex, described as the most advanced moving coil cartridge the company has developed to date, while Premium Libelle made its debut as another notable addition to the line-up.

WiiM: The Bar Takes Centre Stage

WiiM launched its new soundbar just before the show opened in Vienna, and it quickly became the brand’s main attraction across the weekend. While the gloss black finish is already available, Vienna was used to unveil a satin white version that is expected to arrive later in the year. It is a smart move that broadens the appeal of the product for both dedicated audio setups and modern living spaces.
