Marc’s Florida Audio Expo Wrap-Up | FLAX 2020

February 28, 2020 Marc Phillips 2

  My reason for wanting to cover the 2020 Florida Audio Expo was ostensibly about taking a break from the cruel Rochester winter. When I arrived in Tampa on Thursday evening, the temperature was in […]

Saturday Highlights | FLAX 2020

February 9, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Saturday Highlights | FLAX 2020

McGary Audio and Salk Sound | AXPONA 2019

April 19, 2019 Marc Phillips 2
