After a three-year hiatus, the Luxembourg Audio-Video Show—organized by Cinémotion—returns to the Casino 2000 in Mondorf-les-Bains this weekend in early October 2026.
On Saturday, October 3, and Sunday, October 4, the show will feature a wide range of Hi-Fi and home theater brands. And this year, you will have the chance to meet and hear Manu Katché.
Practical Information: 📅 Dates: Saturday, October 3, and Sunday, October 4, 2026 ⏰ Hours: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 📍 Location: Casino 2000, Rue Th. Flammang, L-5618 Mondorf-les-Bains 🎟️ Admission: 100% Free (Free parking)
While it’s often said that some manufacturers aim big, Sonoro’s approach with the ATRON is, on the contrary, to reduce the size of its new connected all-in-one system—even though it was designed with the same commitment to quality as the larger AVATON and MEISTERSTÜCK 3 models.
The grille design leaves no doubt as to this new device’s origins, as it echoes that of the German manufacturer’s other models. But this time, the cabinet is covered in a fine fabric. The rectangular chassis is designed to be extremely compact, measuring 14.8 cm wide, 12 cm deep, and 20.4 cm tall, with rounded corners that lend it a smooth, elegant shape. Weighing just 1.5 kilograms, this new ATRON can be placed almost anywhere… provided it’s plugged into an outlet via its power cable, as it doesn’t have a battery.
It can tune into FM and DAB+ radio stations, while DLNA and UPnP protocols also let you listen to just about any streaming platform. However, the device isn’t Roon Ready, though it’s already AirPlay and will soon be compatible with Auracast. Also nice, the Bluetooth module is bidirectional, which means it can not only receive music you send to it, but also that you can transfer a streamed file to another device or a pair of headphones.
Despite its compact size, the ATRON features no fewer than five speakers. On the front panel, two 1.5-inch (38 mm) speakers handle the midrange and treble frequencies. These are completed in the bass range by two 3-inch (7.6 cm) woofers on the sides and a 4-inch (10 cm) passive radiator. Thanks to its DSP and a placement equalizer, combined with the Acoustic Lens concept for speaker positioning, this small Sonoro analyzes the signal in real time to enhance its response.
Although not visible in the first photos we have, the 4-inch TFT screen on the front is high-resolution and color. It displays most of the information about the selected radio stations or albums, which can be controlled via the app, the buttons and dial on top, or simply using the included remote control. Its multiroom functionality allows it to be paired with other Sonoro speakers and support up to 32 devices simultaneously.
The retail price is €399, regardless of whether it comes in beige, gray, or black.
In addition to its network drives and storage devices (read our review of the U2x; VU#67 FR) –which also include a line of hubs such as the P1 mini and P2– Lumin has released a device in recent years designed both to store files (NAS) and optimize network traffic (switch).
From this L2 model, the Hong Kong-based manufacturer has now isolated the switch component, redesigning and upgrading it to offer no fewer than 6 RJ45 Ethernet ports (1000BASE-T) and 4 SFP fiber ports. The aluminum chassis, based on those of the D3 and U2 Mini with their rectangular front panels, houses a very low-noise linear power supply based on a shielded Talema toroidal transformer.
To resynchronize digital signals from the network –or even synchronize them with those from the streamer and DAC– a 10 MHz, 50-ohm BNC clock port is also available. A ground terminal completes the rear panel, while the front panel remains button-free, with only two LEDs visible to indicate whether the internal or external clock is selected.
In terms of price, the Lumin N1 is priced the same as the Dela S50, at 3 500 and is available in either gray or black. We will tell you more as soon as we have compared them!
The new Amora 5 from Japan’s Rotel features a black or matte white MDF cabinet with a modern front panel and a 2-way bass-reflex design.
Weighing 7.7 kilos per speaker with dimensions of just 35 x 19 x 30 cm, the Amora 5 boasts a rigid chassis that houses a 25 mm (1-inch) silk dome tweeter for the high frequencies and a 16.5 cm (6.5”) composite woven-fiber driver for the midrange and bass. The crossover splits the two drivers at 2.5 kHz.
On the back, below the port, two pairs of gold-plated terminals on each speaker allow for bi-wiring or bi-amping if desired, although most users will prefer to leave the copper plates in place to simply connect two cables, either spade or banana plugs.
With a frequency response that’s quite respectable for a small compact speaker (48 Hz–28 kHz), the Amora 5 seems easy to drive, thanks to its nominal impedance of 8 Ω and sensitivity of 87 dB (at 2.83 Vrms / 1 m). The price is set just under the 1k mark, at 999 € / $999 / £999 per pair.
The reference for entry-level hi-fi switches has been updated to support fiber optics. Featuring a more modern design and an aluminum alloy chassis, the N8S replaces the Bonn N8, retaining only three RJ45 ports (10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation) and adding two SFP ports.
Its TCXO oscillator has also been upgraded, now operating at 25 MHz with a jitter of 0.1 ppm. The system is powered by optimized trace lengths and linear LDO (low-dropout) voltage regulators, which improve performance in terms of current noise.
The front-end stage uses ADI LT3042 circuits, combined with PNP bipolar transistors capable of providing a high-current, low-ripple power supply. The rear-end stage is powered by a very low-noise power supply using three SGM2208 circuits.
While still compact, the N8S is slightly larger (205 x 58 x 125 mm) than the Bonn N8; it can be upgraded with the new Forester F1S power supply. We’ll let you know the price as soon as we have it.
