We’ve discovered that, when we come to Warsaw to cover the annual Audio Video Show, we must always spend our first day at the stadium location, PGE Narodowy. It’s just too busy there on the weekend. This year, we were expecting to be impressed with the new large exhibition rooms that have been added to the venue. When I looked in the London room shared by Spanish speaker maker Lorenzo Audio Labs and their local distributor ZenSati, I saw a pair of refrigerator-sized loudspeakers trimmed in a natural wood veneer that could only be described as “decadent.” Impressed? Yeah.
How is it possible for Italian men to be so goddamn graceful? The lilting accent, casually stylish habiliment, as if it’s just natural. I always feel like a shambling oaf when I’m around Italians. So it was on Friday morning at the PGE Narodowy stadium, the site that Diapason chose for the unveiling of their newest speaker, the Didascalìa.
Over the last few years at Audio Video Show here in Warsaw and at High End in Munich, Canada’s EMM Labs has shared rooms with their distributors, and thus with other manufacturers. At Audio Video Show 2025, EMM Labs was hosting the room, and the equipment rack at the front was filled with a collection of components that looked like it had been freshly unloaded from the Death Star.
Varso Place is a skyscraper in Warsaw overlooking the Warszawa Centralna railway station and the historic Palace of Culture and Science. Standing 310 meters tall, Varso is the tallest building in Poland. In fact, it’s the tallest building in Europe outside of Russia, beating the Shard in London by a handful of inches. If I crane my neck, I can just barely make out its silhouette through the October fog from my hotel room window.
