The Lemay Audio Room at Montreal Audiofest 2026

In the above video interview, from on our YouTube channel, Robert Schryer speaks with Lemay Audio founder François Lemay about the gear shown in this room.

The Lemay Audio Dayton Wright Hommage 7.3 speakers on display here delivered vivid, dreamlike sound: starkly defined, dramatic, convincingly lifelike.

Other qualities I noted were itsimpactful microdynamics, purity of tone, concrete layering, and colorfully scintillating imaging. Bass had more power and physicality than might be expected from electrostatic speakers without subwoofers.

For the speakers to sound this good, the partnering gear had to be up to snuff, and it was.
