Over the last few years at the Munich show, I’ve been keeping track of the progress of speaker designer Benno Meldgaard and his new company Baun Audio. Benno has designed a new type of speaker […]
I’ve been on a bit of a TAD bandwagon of late, so I was excited to see what was going on in the TAD and Protone room at Munich. When I walked in not only […]
