Constellation Statement monoblock power amplifier, the Hong Kong show centerpiece

The Constellation Statement monoblock power amplifiers headline the room S428 system at the Hong Kong Audio & Visual Show.

Constellation Audio is bringing its Constellation Statement monoblock power amplifiers to Asia, teaming with Hong Kong distributor Richcom to demonstrate the full Constellation Statement system at the Hong Kong Audio & Visual Show, running August 7-9, 2026 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center. The display in room S428 pairs the flagship amplifiers with Wilson Audio’s newest loudspeaker, a dCS digital source and Transparent Audio cabling, built around what The Absolute Sound recently named its 2026 Amplification Technology of the Year.

An Award-Winning Amplifier Platform

The centerpiece of the room S428 display is the Constellation Statement, a pair of monoblock power amplifiers that sits at the top of Constellation Audio’s range. Its from-scratch power-supply architecture and newly developed output circuits earned the amplifier.

Unmatched Synergy: The Full Constellation Statement System

Constellation and Richcom are calling the room S428 setup “Unmatched Synergy” — a system assembled so every link matches the speed and resolution of the Constellation Statement monoblocks. Driving the amplifiers is the Constellation Performance 2 preamplifier, Constellation’s second-tier line brought in specifically to keep the same house voicing ahead of the power stage. Loudspeaker duties go to Wilson Audio’s Autobiography, the brand’s newest and, per Wilson, most advanced flagship loudspeaker; its Hong Kong appearance is one of its first public demonstrations in Asia. Digital replay runs through a dCS Varèse stack, dCS’s reference source, and Transparent Audio cabling — interconnects, speaker cables and power cords — ties the whole chain together. In Constellation and Richcom’s own words: “Constellation and Richcom welcome the opportunity to share Constellation’s Statement Monoblocks paired with Wilson’s new flagship and most advanced loudspeaker, the Autobiography, fed by the finest dCS digital source and all connected by Transparent Audio cables.”

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
