Inside Our Listening Events: What to Expect at the Next One

Take 5 Audio • August 28, 2026

Take 5 Audio hosts regular listening events at our showroom in Middlebury, CT, giving attendees the chance to experience premium audio and technology products in person, meet manufacturer representatives, and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Our next event features Leon Speakers on September 29th.

Why We Host Listening Events

High-end audio is an experience you cannot fully appreciate from a product page or a spec sheet. The difference between reading about a speaker and hearing it in a properly set up room is significant. That is why Take 5 Audio has committed to hosting monthly events at our 52,000-square-foot showroom inside Middlebury Furniture & Home Design. Each event is designed to bring a specific brand or product category to life in a way that lets attendees hear, see, and interact with the equipment firsthand.

These events are open to everyone, from seasoned audiophiles to homeowners who are simply curious about what high-quality audio sounds like. There is no pressure to buy, and no prior experience is needed. The goal is to create an environment where you can learn, listen, and ask questions in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

What to Expect at a Take 5 Audio Event

Each event typically features a specific brand or product line. A manufacturer representative is on hand to walk through the technology, explain the design philosophy, and answer detailed questions about the products. Our team sets up dedicated listening stations so you can hear the equipment in a controlled environment with proper amplification and source material.

Events are casual and conversational. You will have the opportunity to listen to music you enjoy on reference-quality systems, compare different products and configurations, and talk directly with the people who design and build the equipment. Light refreshments are typically provided, and the atmosphere is more like a private gathering than a sales presentation.

Upcoming Event: Leon Speakers on September 29th

Our next event features Leon Speakers, a manufacturer known for handcrafted, customizable speakers and technology concealment solutions. Leon has been building custom speakers in the United States for over 20 years, and their product line includes custom soundbars built to match the exact width of any television, architectural in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, outdoor speakers, and their innovative Media Decor line, which conceals televisions behind fine art and custom frames.

Leon representatives will be at Take 5 Audio on September 29th to demonstrate their latest products and discuss how custom speakers can be integrated into both residential and commercial spaces. Whether you are designing a home theater, outfitting a living room, or looking for architectural speakers that disappear into your ceiling or walls, this event is an excellent opportunity to hear what Leon offers.

A Monthly Tradition

The Leon event kicks off a monthly event cadence at Take 5 Audio. Each month, we will feature a different brand or product category, giving our community regular opportunities to experience the best in audio, home cinema, and integration technology.
