Florida International Audio Expo (FIAE) 2026 Show Report By Steven R. Rochlin

  Suncoast Audio's exhibit room at the Florida International Audio Expo (FIAE) 2026 presented a focused, salon-style listening environment designed to showcase some of the world's best audiophile equipment. The room was arranged with a single primary listening position, carefully placed seating, and acoustic treatments to minimize reflections and let the gear's character come through. As a room that's always a favorite with Enjoy the Music.com reviewers, this year was no different. The large floorstanding Clarisys Audio Aria Mk2 ($195,000) consisted of four towers, two dedicated to bass and two for the upper frequencies. The Clarisys Aria is conceived as sonic architecture that delivers the highest resolution, top-to-bottom scale, and tonal beauty.

Dual aluminum tweeter midrange ribbons operated in a true bipole configuration. For tech enthusiasts, the ribbons begin at 275 Hz and are said to radiate in perfect phase to create an effortlessly dimensional, holographic soundstage. That holographic presentation was immediately apparent in the demos: instruments sat in space with convincing depth and the midrange bloom gave vocals a lifelike presence that drew listeners in. The Aria Mk2's combination of sheer scale and delicate detail made it a natural centerpiece for Suncoast Audio's curated system approach.

Driving these large floorstanders was an abundance of Pass Labs amplification, chosen for its combination of muscular current delivery and refined musicality. The Pass gear supplied the Aria Mk2 with effortless headroom and a taut, controlled bass foundation that never sounded strained even at higher listening levels. The leading edge of transients was lightning fast, lending percussion and plucked instruments a palpable sense of immediacy. In a conference room the size of the hotel's main hall, the system maintained composure and fullness, a testament to careful matching and generous amplifier reserves.

Source components spanned both analog and digital domains.

Suncoast Audio's staff and visiting manufacturer representatives used the exhibit as an educational platform. Demonstrations of magical music allowed Florida International Audio Expo 2026 showgoers the opportunity to hear practical differences. The room's music was fun and lively, too!

Overall, Suncoast Audio's FIAE 2026 room combined show-stopping hardware with pragmatic, buyer-focused presentation, which Enjoy the Music.com expects from one of Florida's top-quality retailers. The Clarisys Aria Mk2 towers, Pass Labs amplification, and Reiki Audio solutions formed a high-resolution, high-impact system that demonstrated scale, speed, and tonal refinement. For anyone in Florida researching flagship systems or planning a showroom audition, Suncoast Audio's exhibit at the Tampa hi-fi audiophile show provided a compelling blueprint for how top-tier components should be matched, tuned, and presented.

As always, in the end what really matters is that you...

Enjoy the music.
