What an incredible weekend it’s been for hi-fi enthusiasts here in Sydney! The Sydney HiFi show, which just wrapped up on Sunday, brought together audio lovers from across the region to experience the latest and greatest in sound technology.
Whether you were there soaking in the buzz or missed out on the action, we’ve got something special for you at Len Wallis Audio that captures the magic of the show—without the drawbacks.
Audio Shows like the Sydney HiFi show are a wonderful experience. No retailer in the world could accommodate the breath of brands and models that are on show, all on display under the one roof.
However, there are some serious compromises – crowds, distracting noise, and worst of all, rooms that were never intended for playing music.
The best from the Sydney HiFi show at Len Wallis Audio
If you attended the recent Sydney HiFi show you will know what we mean. If you missed it entirely, don’t fret. We have recreated what we believe to be three of the show highlights here in our showroom – capturing the shows finest moments and elevating them for you. Picture three world-class hi-fi setups, straight from the show floor, now waiting in our acoustically treated audition rooms at Len Wallis Audio. These aren’t just systems—they’re your ticket to audio bliss, crafted for enthusiasts like you. Step in, take control, and let us guide you to sonic luxury.
First, behold System ONE—a $378,000 masterpiece that radiates grandeur.
The Audio Research Ref 6SE pre-amp and Ref 330M mono block power amps (a commanding pair) blend sleek design with raw power.
Teamed with the Aurender N20 streamer and Musical Fidelity M8xTT turntable, it unearths every nuance from your digital tracks or vinyl grooves.
The Sonus Faber Il Cremonese speakers, with their Italian flair, stand as sculptural icons, delivering a soundstage so vivid it’s like a private symphony.
Inakustik cabling ensures flawless flow. This is hi-fi royalty, perfected in our audition rooms where you control every detail—something a bustling show could never match.
Next, meet System TWO—a $79,000 gem that marries luxury with accessibility.
The Marantz Model 10 integrated amplifier dances with the SACD 10 CD player and Link 10n network audio player, offering modern versatility in a timeless form.
The Linn Majik LP12 turntable spins vinyl with finesse, while the Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 Signature speakers—petite yet potent—unveil every note through their tweeter-on-top brilliance.
Inakustik cables keep it pure. It’s seductive, approachable, and shines brighter in our controlled space than any show booth could allow.
And now, introducing System THREE—a $5,500 surprise that stole the show.
Possibly the most unlikely star of the Sydney HiFi show, the Triangle Capella active speakers left everyone stunned. Despite their modest price tag—a fraction of many items on display—a considerable number of attendees felt they delivered the best sound in the upstairs rooms.
I’ll be honest: even I was taken aback by the performance of these beauties. Compact and exquisitely finished—one of the best on the market—the Capellas are a product of the times.They’re active (with built-in amplification) and incredibly flexible, thanks to a Stereo Hub that connects wirelessly to the speakers. Here’s what makes them so versatile:
- Compact Design: Measuring just 70mm x 45mm x 100mm, they fit anywhere.
- Inputs Galore: The Stereo Hub offers 3 x optical, 1 x coaxial, 1 x pair of RCA, and 1 x HDMI ARC inputs.
- Modern Connectivity: Bluetooth, Airplay, and Roon-ready for seamless streaming.
But it’s their performance that truly sets them apart—delivering sound so rich and detailed, you’d never guess their size or price. Learn more about the Capellas here.

Enthusiasts know trends are shifting: it’s not just about performance anymore; it’s about style that complements your life. Sonus Faber’s artistry, B&W’s elegance, Marantz’s curves, Triangle’s Adaptability—these setups embody that.Your plan is simple: visit Len Wallis Audio and immerse yourself.
