Siltech Group Receives Dragon of the Exhibition Award with Sphinx Element 5

Siltech Group has been honored with one of the prestigious Dragon of the Exhibition awards at HIGH END Vienna 2026, presented by renowned Polish audio publication High Fidelity. The award recognized the complete Siltech Group demonstration system, featuring the Sphinx Element 5 loudspeakers alongside Siltech SAGA electronics, Siltech Classic Legend MKII cables, an Innuos streamer, and a Soulution DAC.

Presented to only six exhibitors across the entire exhibition, the Dragon of the Exhibition awards celebrate the most remarkable systems, innovations, and listening experiences showcased during HIGH END Vienna 2026.

At the heart of the award-winning system stood the Sphinx Element 5. Following its introduction earlier this year, the flagship loudspeaker attracted significant attention from visitors, journalists, distributors, and industry professionals attending the first edition of HIGH END Vienna.

In his official exhibition report, High Fidelity editor Wojciech Pacuła highlighted the Siltech Group system as one of the standout demonstrations of the event. Experiencing the Element 5 for the first time in a fully operational system, he praised both its distinctive appearance and its sonic performance.

“The Element 5, which I saw for the first time in a playing system in Vienna, is extraordinary both in form and sound.”

Pacuła further noted that the loudspeaker is the result of Edwin Rynveld’s ongoing pursuit of innovation in loudspeaker design. The Element 5 combines deep bass extension reaching down to 19Hz with Sphinx’s proprietary PAC hybrid passive-active crossover architecture, developed to optimize the interaction between loudspeaker and amplifier while preserving musical integrity.

The award also reflects the successful integration of technologies from across the Siltech Group portfolio. By combining Sphinx loudspeakers, Siltech electronics and cabling, and carefully selected source components, the demonstration system delivered a listening experience that resonated strongly with both visitors and members of the international audio press.

For Sphinx Audio Engineering, this recognition represents another important milestone in the continued evolution of the Element Series. It demonstrates how the engineering, technologies, and design philosophy behind the Element 5 are being recognized by listeners and reviewers around the world.

We would like to thank High Fidelity for this recognition and everyone who visited the Siltech Group room during HIGH END Vienna 2026.
