Linear Audio Research Premieres At AV Show Warsaw 2026
LINEAR AUDIO RESEARCH VIADUA AND KATE AT AUDIO VIDEO SHOW WARSAW 2026
Linear Audio Research (LAR) will present two premieres at Audio Video Show Warsaw 2026.
The Polish company, which began producing vacuum tube amplifiers 51 years ago and adopted the Linear Audio Research name in 2002, will introduce the VIADUA single-ended amplifier and its first mass-produced loudspeaker, KATE.
LINEAR AUDIO RESEARCH VIADUA
The VIADUA is a single-ended amplifier delivering 17W. LAR describes it as an accessible addition to its range, while retaining the company’s focus on vacuum tube amplification.
The VIADUA will be presented as one of two premieres from Linear Audio Research at this year’s Warsaw HiFi show.
LINEAR AUDIO RESEARCH KATE LOUDSPEAKERS
The second premiere is the KATE, Linear Audio Research’s first mass-produced loudspeaker.
The KATE is a two-way loudspeaker using an MTM (midwoofer-tweeter-midwoofer) configuration. It features two 165mm drivers and a soft-dome tweeter positioned within a small waveguide.
The drivers are supplied by Kartesian, while the internal wiring is manufactured by NxLT (Next Level Tech). The loudspeakers also use anti-vibration bases supplied by Franc Audio Accessories.
LINEAR AUDIO RESEARCH LOCATION AT AV SHOW WARSAW 2026
Linear Audio Research will present the VIADUA amplifier and KATE loudspeakers at Audio Video Show Warsaw 2026, at the Hotel Sobieski, Room 323
The VIADUA is priced at €8,000, while the KATE will cost no more than €10,000 for the high-gloss lacquer finish.
