On August 7th through the 9th, audio takes center stage in downtown Raleigh at the Audio Advice Live 2026 , the nation’s premier high‑end audio showcase. During Audio Advice Live 2026, HARMAN Luxury Audio Group hosted the HARMAN Luxury Audio Showcase.
Inside the HARMAN Luxury Audio listening room, Oak Forest B, four complete systems demonstrate the full range of reference‑level performance: a JBL Summit loudspeaker system driven by Mark Levinson electronics, a JBL Synthesis 7.4.2 reference home cinema, a Revel Performa4 and ARCAM Radia two‑channel setup, and a JBL lifestyle system showcasing headphones, soundbars, PartyBox speakers, and MA Series receivers with Stage 2 loudspeakers.
JBL Summit + Mark Levinson The Ama, Pumori, and Makalu loudspeakers highlight JBL’s D2 compression drivers and HDI Sonoglass horn geometry, with HC4 composite cones delivering scale, control, and detail. The lineup appears during JBL’s 80th anniversary year, alongside the newest Summit flagships, Everest and K2. Mark Levinson’s 600 Series electronics — the №626 preamplifier and №632 amplifier — drive the system.
JBL Synthesis Cinema A full 7.4.2 private cinema built around the new SCL‑XL architectural series and powered by the SDP‑70 Immersive AV Processor. Dirac Live Active Room Treatment (ART) optimizes the room itself for balanced bass, anchored dialogue, and precise imaging.
Revel Performa4 + ARCAM Radia Revel’s complete Performa4 lineup showcases new DCC/MCC ceramic composite drivers and a 7th‑generation Acoustic Lens Waveguide for consistent imaging across the room. A dedicated two‑channel system pairs the flagship F346 with ARCAM’s new A50 Signature integrated amplifier, CD25 player, and ST25 streamer — all marking ARCAM’s 50th anniversary.
JBL Lifestyle Quantum gaming headphones, Harman Kardon Enchant soundbar, JBL PartyBox speakers, and JBL MA Series receivers with Stage 2 loudspeakers round out the experience.
“Audio Advice Live puts our products directly in front of the people who care most about how music and movies should sound,” said Jerry Calder, Sales Director, HARMAN Luxury Audio Group.
