The planned show is the collaboration of The Los Angeles and Orange County Audio Society and the UK-based Chester Group, which has traditionally organized shows around the world.

The Los Angeles and Orange County Audio Society, Bob Levi, Chairman, will host The Los Angeles Audio Show '25 at the Hilton Orange County Costa Mesa Hotel on January 17-19, 2025, premiering the finest high-end audio components and loudspeakers from the world's best manufacturers and dealers. The jointly released statement says the “Los Angeles Audio Show will focus on the industry leaders building the finest components for music in the home. Meet the world's most renowned reviewers and audiophiles, enjoy extraordinary hospitality, and immerse yourself in an exclusive event produced by audiophiles for audiophiles!”

Enjoy the affordable and extreme, nightly live entertainment hosted by the extraordinary Michael Fremer, the newest and collector LPs and accessories, cool headphones and personal listening gear, extraordinary manufacturer seminars, wonderful listening experiences, and even fantastic food trucks and a California craft beer tasting. The Society recently celebrated its thirtieth anniversary and judges six audiophile and music awards. The Los Angeles Audio Show is our way of celebrating the lifestyle experience of being an audiophile and music lover.

The Los Angeles and Orange County Audio Society has participated in numerous audio shows as a sponsor; however, we understand that The Los Angeles Audio Show '25 is the first show where the Society will act as a “Co Presenter,” a Joint Venture with the Chester Group as Organizers.

Bob Levi, Chairman of the Board of the Society, told StereoNET:

The brand new and original Los Angeles Audio Show '25 will reflect a level of fun and expertise unseen in most shows in any locale. We will specially craft it such that the wonder and entertainment of the fine audio experience begins at the front door and continues for three full extraordinary days. We thank Michael Fremer, of TAS and our Senior Vice President of Analog, for his superb advice and participation. We truly appreciate the expert organization and support of The Chester Group, which currently produces four other audio shows worldwide, and now celebrates 25 years in the business with over 200 shows organised to date, mostly pioneered events I thank Jason Lord, of The Source AV, the nation's top McIntosh dealer, for his advice and endless support throughout this audio journey.

The event will take place at the expansive Hilton Orange County Costa Mesa Hotel, located just north of Orange County Airport and near the I405 highway.
