High Fidelity has recognised the Siltech Group demonstration as one of its six prestigious “Dragon of the Show” award winners during HIGH END Vienna 2026.
Presented in the publication’s extensive show report, the distinction highlights the most memorable systems and presentations encountered during the exhibition. Following the successful transition of HIGH END from Munich to Vienna, the event brought together the global high-end audio community for four days of demonstrations, product launches and industry networking.
Among hundreds of listening rooms and exhibitors, the Siltech Group presentation was selected as one of only six award-winning systems.
A complete reference system
The award-winning demonstration combined technologies from across the Siltech Group portfolio and featured the new Classic Legend MKII Series, Siltech’s flagship SAGA Amplification System and the Sphinx Audio Engineering Element 5 loudspeakers.
The system was further supported by an Innuos music server and a Soulution 700 Series DAC, creating a reference-level demonstration that attracted strong interest throughout the exhibition.
According to High Fidelity editor Wojciech Pacuła, the system stood out both for its sound quality and the performance of the new Element 5 loudspeakers.
“The Element 5 model, which I heard for the first time in a complete playing system in Vienna, is extraordinary both in form and sound.”
Recognising innovation
In the report, Pacuła highlighted the Element 5’s unique design and advanced technologies, including its hybrid Passive Active Crossover (PAC) architecture and extended low-frequency performance.
The recognition also reflects the successful integration of Siltech’s latest developments, including the newly introduced Classic Legend MKII Series and the SAGA amplification platform, within a carefully curated demonstration system.
Throughout HIGH END Vienna 2026, visitors had the opportunity to experience how the combination of advanced loudspeaker engineering, electronics and cable technologies can work together as a complete ecosystem dedicated to musical realism.
A memorable first edition in Vienna
HIGH END Vienna 2026 marked the beginning of a new chapter for the world’s leading high-end audio exhibition.
As one of the first major international events held at the Austria Center Vienna, the exhibition attracted thousands of visitors from around the world.
Receiving a Dragon of the Show distinction from High Fidelity was one of many highlights of the event and serves as a wonderful recognition of the efforts of everyone involved in creating the Siltech Group demonstration.
