Florida Audio Expo Announces 2022 Show Dates

Tampa, Florida—August 2021—Tampa’s finest audio extravaganza is back for 2022! The third annual Florida Audio Expo is happening February 18–20, 2022 (Friday–Sunday), at the newly refurbished Embassy Suites by Hilton Tampa Airport Westshore hotel. The show will host the industry’s finest brands in more than 70 exhibit rooms, as well as in a new Marketplace area. Qobuz will return as the official streaming service.

Also new for 2022, the Florida Audio Expo will charge admission: $15 for Friday only, or $30 for all three days; students and spouses will be admitted free of charge, while first responders and military personnel will receive 50% off the ticket price. Consumers can buy tickets directly from the Expo’s website beginning September 18, 2021.

“We are thrilled to have our third annual show at the Embassy Suites Westshore,” said Bart Andeer, co-founder and operations manager of the Florida Audio Expo. “The convenience of being just minutes from the airport and downtown is a bonus for exhibitors and attendees alike. The 2022 show will be an exciting opportunity to once again share our passion for music and sound, and for attendees to experience new audio products from all over the world.”

The Florida Audio Expo is within convenient driving distance to such local attractions as Busch Gardens and the Florida Aquarium, and just an hour’s drive from Walt Disney World.

Please visit www.floridaaudioexpo.com for details. Exhibit space is now available!

We are trying. Need the hotel to wire a minimum of 6 dedicated 20 amp circuits just to allow us to turn it on. That communication was going on with the hotels electrician this morning.

I'm seriously thinking to escape from the claws of the Swiss winter and hop to Florida with my wife to enjoy some sun. Nothing better if it can be mixed with some great HiFi. Considering this any room reservation assistance is feasible at the venue hotel?

Thanks in advance!

It wouldn’t be Mc, it would be a dealer and I highly doubt it. Mc isn’t known for their speakers….for good reason.

Not necessarily. There is a lot about major shows to put off newcomers and old-timers too. I attended CES 8 out of 9 consecutive years while it was still the place to be for audio and T.H.E. Show Vegas ran concurrently. I also attended T.H.E. Show Newport a couple of times. The last time I was at a show I left a day earlier than I had planned.

Admittedly leaving early was a lot about seeing and hearing the same old stuff. But a lot of it was the massive prices, massive equipment, and huge rooms. 100-pound-plus amplifiers and monster speakers in a room with 1/4 acre of floor dedicated to python cables and equipment stands.

They had no relevance to me and my system. And after too many shows I was no longer impressed by the best. I was shopping for relevance. Something I could afford and fit into my home.

I wonder if headphones are so popular with young people because they don't weigh 100 pounds and require a huge room and ancillary equipment to obsess over.

To convert an "innocent" to an audiophile you need gateway drugs. Mike, I encourage you to have some "relevant" rooms at the Florida Audio Expo. It is fine to show people what can be done but it is also important to show them what they can do.

When you say relevant, you mean?
