Julian Margules at AXPONA | AXPONA 2022

May 7, 2022 Graig Neville 0

Margules has a history going back to 1927. In Mexico, the Margules family has been instrumental in developing and expanding radio throughout the country. I had a chance to speak with the fourth- generation engineer […]

Best of AXPONA 2022 | AXPONA 2022

May 7, 2022 Marc Phillips 2

It’s been a while since I’ve had to assemble a “Best of Show” list at the end of a high-end audio show, and I was starting to have reservations about the process long before I […]

Wynn Audio, Vimberg and Karan | AXPONA 2022

May 6, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

This report on the Wynn Audio room at AXPONA 2022 might seem a little photo-heavy. There’s a reason for this–we had five PTA staff members at AXPONA and every single one of them just HAD […]

AXPONA 2022

New Brands at AXPONA | AXPONA 2022

May 6, 2022 Graig Neville 0

I decided to focus on the new brands exhibiting at AXPONA 2022, or at least some of the companies that had returned with completely new or redesigned product line-ups. Of those, three loudspeaker manufacturers caught […]

Refined Audio, Pass Labs | AXPONA 2022

May 6, 2022 Graig Neville 0

When I entered the Refined Audio room at AXPONA 2022, I was greeted by Cube Audio’s Nenuphar BASiS, a distinctive looking black speaker with a yellow driver ($26,900/pair). The sound of this intriguing system had […]

Astonishing Avantgarde and dCS | AXPONA 2022

May 6, 2022 Scot Hull 1

There is something undeniable about Avantgarde Acoustics horn loudspeakers. Something I find irresistible. They can be shoehorned into the most improbable spaces, and yet, I don’t care. I don’t see “cramped.” I don’t see “uncomfortable.” […]

AXPONA 2022

Quintessence Audio | AXPONA 2022

May 5, 2022 Graig Neville 0

At the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center, the Connection, Knowledge, Perfection, and Imagination rooms are all clustered under the escalator leading up to the main lobby. Quintessence Audio, a high-end audio dealer in the […]

Rockport and Stillpoints | AXPONA 2022

May 5, 2022 Graig Neville 1

The Rockport Technologies and Stillpoints room was rocking cool gear and playing Hans Zimmer’s haunting original soundtrack for Dune. [See, I wasn’t the only one at the show making people play Zimmer–Ed.] This was EPIC […]

Fidelis and Lab12 and a Heretic | AXPONA 2022

May 4, 2022 Marc Phillips 1

A room full of Lab12 gear from Greece? Hey, I got that at home already. I didn’t travel all the way to Chicago to replicate my home system, dangit. I’m currently reviewing the Lab12 Integre4 […]

LTA and DeVore Fidelity and LampizatOr | AXPONA 2022

May 4, 2022 Marc Phillips 1

Usually when I visit the Linear Tube Audio room at a high-end audio show, their amplifiers are matched with Spatial Audio loudspeakers, which are a synergistic match. Or they’re paired with Fern & Roby speakers, […]

Acoustique Quality, Amped, Music Hall | AXPONA 2022

May 3, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

I’ve been reporting on the Acoustique Quality, Amped and Music Hall partnership over the last few years, especially since I was able to meet everyone involved in Munich in 2019. (Note to self–quit referring to […]

Gunny of Sonner Audio | AXPONA 2022

May 2, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

We’ve talked about Gunny of Sonner Audio before. Aside from making wonderful loudspeakers, Gunny Surya is also a music lover above all else. Whenever I see him, I’m treated to an in-depth program of music, […]

Luxman and Magico | AXPONA 2022

May 2, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

In the Luxman and Magico room at AXPONA 2022, I drooled a lot. Luxman’s story over the last few years has been a treat for audiophiles all over the world–a legendary Japanese hi-fi marque re-invents […]

J Sikora Joins Joseph, Doshi and Cardas | AXPONA 2022

May 1, 2022 Marc Phillips 2

It’s not the first time I’ve heard a J Sikora turntable in the Joseph Audio/Doshi Audio/Cardas room, and I feel like it won’t be the last. Joseph, Doshi and Cardas have forged one of those […]

Focal Naim America | AXPONA 2022

May 1, 2022 Marc Phillips 2

Have you noticed the emerging Focal Naim America juggernaut? Ever since these two brands joined forces a few years ago, they’ve chosen a path of world domination, taking in such brands as Thorens, Musical Fidelity, […]

GoldenEar and the Mystery of the BRX | AXPONA 2022

May 1, 2022 Marc Phillips 1

When I saw there was a GoldenEar room at AXPONA 2022, I knew I had to make a special trip. I’ve had the GoldenEar BRXs in for review for way too long–I never thought I’d […]

Burmester Audio | AXPONA 2022

April 30, 2022 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Burmester Audio | AXPONA 2022

I haven’t checked in with Burmester Audio for many years, and it shows. I had no idea they’ve expanded their line so much over the last few years–they now have turntables as well as the […]

Innuos Statement NEXTGEN | AXPONA 2022

April 30, 2022 Marc Phillips 1

When I visited the Innuos room at AXPONA 2022 to demo the Innuos Statement NEXTGEN music server, it was much like the very first Innuos room I visited back at the 2019 Rocky Mountain Audio […]

The Gryphon | AXPONA 2022

April 30, 2022 Marc Phillips 1

Let’s start off this morning’s coverage with one of those montage sequences, a series of photographs that allow you to take a deep breath and appreciate the finer things before delving back to the show […]

Audio Thesis, Norma and Rosso Fiorentino | AXPONA 2022

April 29, 2022 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Audio Thesis, Norma and Rosso Fiorentino | AXPONA 2022

I was excited to see Derek “Skip” Skipworth of Audio Thesis Distribution at AXPONA 2022–I hadn’t really talked to him since reviewing the Rosso Fiorentino Pienza two-way monitors last year. While I enjoyed the Pienzas, […]
