Montreal high end audio show is ON, 18 – 20 March
We have very fond memories of Montreal, which we attended and photographed in 2006, when it was called Festival Son et Image: https://audiofederation.com/hifiing/2006/FSI2006/index.htm
A few years ago, the founders of this show transferred ownership to the Chester Group, an organization that puts on several hifi shows around the world.
10 days prior to this year’s exhibition, we received an email stating that it’s been “deferred”:

I mean, wowee. If we were exhibiting, I would be having a fit.
But now, the original founders, Michel Plante and Sarah Tremblay, have picked up the ball and rescued the situation and the Show Will Go On.
Given the 11th hour announcements here, they’ve got all the pertinent info up on Facebook (search for Montreal Salon Audio):

Montreal is a truly beautiful city, and this is a wonderful show that deserves support. If you are anywhere in the region, I would suggest you go.
Audio Note will be there, with cellist Vincent Belanger, accompanied by an Audio Note system. If another reason to go was even needed, this is not to be missed.
In the end, there were 65 – SIXTY FIVE! – exhibitors and wall-to-wall attendees all weekend long. A fantastic show, despite the bizarre on, off, on again beginning.
