Yes, the Acora Acoustics room was the first room I visited at AXPONA 2024–I really had to get a good look at “Acora in Amethyst.” At the Florida International Audio Fest in February, I fell […]

Just before AXPONA 2024, both Scot Hull and I received an email from T10 Bespoke asking us to stop by their booth and check out their new products. I get a lot of these emails […]
This is a familiar room for me, the AudioShield Distribution room, where you’ll find some of my favorite brands in high-end audio such as Credo, Van den Hul and more. At AXPONA 2024, I saw […]
It’s only a couple of years since I discovered Göbel High End–it was at the 2022 Munich show and I wound up awarding these huge German speakers Best Sound at Show. I’ve never heard percussion […]
Here’s another AXPONA exhibit room where YG Acoustics made its presence known–in the Linn and YG room. While listening to YG speakers in another room, Duncan Taylor asked me if I’d heard the set-up in […]
I enjoy how Focal/Naim has set up their exhibit rooms at all of the high-end audio shows over the last few years. Basically, they’re set-up like one of the new Focal/Naim retails stores where all […]
Let me tell you about my “Aretai at Midnight” story. I had a busy Saturday evening at AXPONA 2024–drinks in the hotel bar, a heavy dinner, and by ten I just wanted to get to […]
Audio Group Denmark rarely attends a show without introducing at least one new product, and at AXPONA 2024 they introduced two–the new Børresen C1 two-way monitors ($16,500/pair), and a new line of Axxess cables to […]
The Dream Team of high-end audio–Joseph Audio, Doshi Audio, Cardas, Aurender and J. Sikora–welcomed a new addition to their ranks at AXPONA 2024. Aidas Cartridges from Lithuania is now being imported Jeff Fox of Notable […]
I haven’t heard from my good audio buddy Arnold Martinez in quite a few years–long enough to have the what-happened-to-Arnold discussion with a number of others this year. Arnold was one of my favorite dealers […]
When I walked into the Audio by Van Alstine room at AXPONA 2024, I instantly realized that I have never walked into an AVA room at any high-end audio show before. Mary from AVA confirmed […]
The Kubala-Sosna room, hosted by one of the finest cable manufacturers on the scene for the last couple of decades, featured a system that included so many great products that have popped up on my […]
This is the section of our AXPONA 2024 coverage that plays out like musical chairs–YG Acoustics with Vinnie Rossi, YG Acoustics and Linn, Qln with Vinnie Rossi and, as we have here, Ayre and YG. […]
And now for something completely different–a big pair of panel speakers in a big hotel conference room playing big music. I’m not sure why the CAT and Clarisys Audio room at AXPONA 2024 seemed like […]
I’ve known Walter Swanbon of Fidelis AV and Fidelis Distribution for many years, and we usually see eye-to-eye on high-end audio brands. That’s why I’m especially glad to see JMF amplification in his exhibit rooms, […]
Usually when I listen to a system with TIDAL Audio components and speakers, my focus is on TIDAL Audio itself. I’m truly impressed with this German brand, especially after hearing the Tidal for Bugatti system […]
It’s rare for a speaker manufacturer to introduce an amplifier for the first time and knock it out of the park. Christopher Hildebrand of Fern & Roby came to AXPONA 2024 and accomplished this lofty […]
I’ve been waiting to hear the Qln Reference 9 loudspeaker ($42,000/pr) for a couple of years ago, ever since I picked the Qln Reference monitors as the 2022 Product of the Year. The Qln Reference […]
At AXPONA 2024, I heard Treehaus AudioLab for the very first time. I’ve been wanting to slip into this room and take a quick listen for the last three or four high end audio shows, […]
Gunny Surwan of Sonner Audio usually keeps in touch with me about the latest developments in his superb line of speakers. I reviewed his amazing flagships, the Sonner Audio Allegro Unum two-way monitors, a couple […]
