Between them, McCoy and Lylander bring over 30 years of experience in hifi, audio, and home theater. With their knowledge and passion, they will be an integral part of T.H.E. Show’s front-facing personality, bringing T.H.E. Show’s mission of an elevated listening experience for all very much to life through the content they create and their respective global reach on social media.
T.H.E. Ambassador Program was born following the major transformation T.H.E. Show underwent in 2018-2019 to keep hifi and audio front and center through their social media platforms, VIP events, web series and award-winning documentary short film, ‘T.H.E. Human Side‘. Ambassadors are tasked with being more than tastemakers, they actively build bridges between T.H.E. Show and the audio community by way of advanced promotion, spreading the mission of T.H.E. Show, working to create a culture of inclusion, education, and inspiration for music lovers of all ages, at all evolutions on their audio journey, hosting T.H.E. Talk, being present at T.H.E. Show, and more.
“Being an Ambassador for the Home Entertainment Show means that I am able to help share T.H.E. Show experience with the world. There is nothing quite like hearing and seeing and feeling new music and equipment. And the Home Entertainment Show is the perfect venue for this experience! We will take a journey together as we explore everything The Home Entertainment Show has to offer.” says McCoy of his Ambassadorship.
Of his new role, Lylander had this to say: “I’m an audiophile. Can you guess how many striking people I’ve met through that statement? Many. Being an ambassador for T.H.E. Show is a way for me to learn and to give back to our audio community. As an audio ambassador, I want others to join our club. Does your gear make you an audiophile? Does your music make you an audiophile? It’s passion that makes an audiophile. It’s the desire to learn why and share the knowledge. It’s meeting new people with the same passion. It’s good vibes.”
“We are delighted that Jiles and Scott have become T.H.E. Ambassadors for the 2022-2023 year. Both have unique and valuable experiences, perspectives and knowledge to share with our community and both are positive-minded, mission-driven individuals who know how to not only connect with people but to get them excited about hifi, audio, home theater and entertainment and T.H.E. Show is very much looking forward to their ambassadorships with us.” T.H.E. Show Team
