Room 1: The Nostala Room (572)

Room 572, dubbed “The Nostala Room,” will showcase the LB12 Vintage 3-way speaker, designed to deliver an ultra-clear and warm midrange alongside a deep, powerful low end driven by a 12-inch woofer.

Powering the system will be the upcoming SDR1000 receiver, offering 1,000 watts of Class A/B amplification via a large toroidal transformer. The unit combines vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern functionality, including a high-quality phono stage, FM tuner, USB DAC, HDMI ARC, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Also featured in Room 1 is the Differential Reference Design Series stack, a compact yet powerful system comprising a streamer, DAC, stereo preamp, and bridgeable power amplifier. Designed with uniform dimensions and styling, the system forms a space-efficient “tower of power” occupying less than one cubic foot.

Rounding out the room is the debut of the FT12 12-inch vintage subwoofer, which includes self-calibrating DSP room correction and a natural walnut veneer finish.

Room 2: Emotiva 2.0 (576)

Room 576, branded as “Emotiva 2.0,” will introduce the new LX series, centered around an audiophile-grade surround system built for both music and home theater performance.

At the core is the LXR-11 receiver, supporting 9.4.6 channel processing and featuring 11 channels of high-current Hypex NcoreX amplification. It supports all major immersive audio formats and integrates Dirac room correction for precise system tuning.

The system also incorporates Emotiva’s Emersa multi-room streaming platform, enabling playback via Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, Roon, AirPlay, and Google Cast, along with Bluetooth support.

For users preferring separates, the LXP-16 processor delivers the same processing capabilities as the LXR-11 but without built-in amplification.

Additional highlights in Room 2 include the debut of the XSP-2 Differential Reference stereo preamplifier and a 5.2-channel speaker system featuring Airmotiv models: XT1 towers, XC1 center channel, XA2 surrounds, and XS12e subwoofers.
