About this Event

Join us Wednesday, May 13 for a special evening at Sound Sanctuary Austin with Allan Haggar, VP of Global Sales at Audio Research, for an unforgettable listening experience built around one of the most emotionally compelling sounds in high-end audio: tubes.

We’ll be featuring a truly reference-level Audio Research system, including a pair of Audio Research Reference 330M Monoblock Power Amplifiers and the newly introduced Reference 20 Preamplifier — so new, Sound Sanctuary Austin is among the first places to have it playing outside of AXPONA.

For anyone who has ever wondered what a world-class tube system can really do — the scale, dimensionality, presence, texture, and musical humanity — this is the night to hear it for yourself.

Allan brings a rare perspective to the evening. A classically trained pianist, degreed singer, professional choir singer, and conductor, his life has always centered around music. Since joining Audio Research as VP of Global Sales in 2023, and after years of representing the brand before that, Allan has carried a deep dedication to the company’s tradition of making music feel compelling, joyful, and alive.

Come listen, ask questions, meet fellow music lovers, and experience why Audio Research remains one of the most important names in high-performance tube audio.
