– New audio company is founded by industry veteran Scott McGowan –
Denver, Colorado, September 29th, 2025 – Announcing the launch of Sprout HiFi: it’s the beginning of a new audio company and a new promise of affordable high-end excellence. Founded by industry veteran Scott McGowan, Sprout HiFi will introduce its first product, a fully revamped and renewed version of the celebrated Sprout100, with a projected date of 2026.
McGowan, founder and CEO of Sprout HiFi said: “The original Sprout and Sprout100 earned rave reviews for their combination of compact design, ease of use and great sound. My new venture, Sprout HiFi, was founded to bring even better sound and value to a new generation of music lovers. The new model will be smarter, more versatile, more interactive, and more powerful.”
The renewed model will continue the Sprout legacy of a compact, stylish integrated amplifier that delivers a high-end listening experience and fits into any living space. It will feature a powerful built-in amplifier, Wi-Fi connectivity for high-resolution playback, a D/A converter, a headphone amplifier, line-stage inputs, and a phono preamp, as well as many other features whose goals are to elevate the listener’s sonic experience and increase listener interaction. In addition to its wireless capability that will allow users to play high-resolution music from a phone, tablet or computer, it will have phono, analog and digital inputs to accommodate external music sources, and a subwoofer output. The new model will come with a full-function remote control.
The new and fully reconstructed model will be launched under the Sprout HiFi brand and will be the centerpiece of the Sprout HiFi ecosystem. Additional Sprout family products will include bookshelf and monitor loudspeakers, wired and wireless headphones, turntables, subwoofers and more.
“We look forward to bringing a fresh perspective to the world of home audio, blending elegance, innovation, and performance in a way that’s approachable and exciting,” noted McGowan, formerly of PS Audio. “The original Sprout series is prized by owners worldwide, and with the founding of Sprout HiFi we are excited to re-introduce the Sprout concept to everyone seeking easy to use audio solutions that deliver true high-end sound.”
Pricing and availability of Sprout HiFi’s new products will be announced in 2026.
