Show Report

Grover’s Wrap-Up and Best of Show | T.H.E. SHOW 2021

July 8, 2021 Grover Neville 2

THE SHOW 2021 was, by my estimation, a reason for cautious optimism. Everything appeared to go off without a hitch, attendees were well-behaved and plentiful enough, and exhibitors seemed pleased by the amount and depth […]

Show Report

Wilson Benesch, Ypsilon, Aurender, Vibrance, Stage III Concepts, Isoclean, HB Design, Stacore | T.H.E. SHOW 2021

June 20, 2021 Grover Neville 1

I’ve long been a fan of Wilson Benesch (website) speakers, but they’re a rare sight here in the United States. I was intrigued to see local distributor Aaudio Imports playing a pair of Wilson Benesch […]

CAF 2019

Perfect8 Technologies and Ypsilon | CAF 2019

November 12, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Perfect8 Technologies and Ypsilon | CAF 2019

I was excited to see that Perfect8 Technologies and Ypsilon were exhibiting together at the 2019 Capital Audiofest. I’ve always felt that Ypsilon is in the running for the greatest solid-state amplifier manufacturer on the […]

CAF 2019

Capital Audiofest Friday Highlights | CAF 2019

November 2, 2019 Marc Phillips 3

It was fairly difficult to come up with Capital Audiofest Friday Highlights, and not for a bad reason. I don’t like to judge rooms on sound on the first day of the show–it takes at […]

Monthly Spins

September 2019 | Monthly Spins

September 29, 2019 Joe Surdna 2

How does this list happen? Great question! In order to come up with this list, I listen to at least the first three songs of 75 or 80 albums. Then, I filter by taste and […]

Warsaw 2017: Blumenhofer, with a little help from a friend

November 27, 2017 Panagiotis Karavitis Comments Off on Warsaw 2017: Blumenhofer, with a little help from a friend

Blumenhofer’s formula of square shaped horn speakers has drawn many eyes and ears, they perform anywhere from good to excellent depending on partnering gear. In Warsaw they were showing in a rather big room at […]

RMAF 2017: Aaudio Imports, Wilson Benesch make a statement with Cardinal loudspeaker

November 9, 2017 John Stancavage 3

I first auditioned a pair of Wilson Benesch speakers about a decade ago at a Dallas dealer. I had come in primarily to listen to a tube amp I fancied, but the sight of the […]

LAAS 2017

LA Audio Show 2017: Rafe’s wrap up on California

August 4, 2017 Rafe Arnott 1

While this may have been the inaugural Los Angeles Audio Show, it had an air of familiarity about it that made for an easygoing experience. Everything seemed to run like a well-oiled machine, and the […]

LAAS 2017

LA Audio Show 2017 Video: The High End Zone, Perfect8 Technologies, Ypsilon Electronics

July 22, 2017 Rafe Arnott 2

Munich 2017

High End 2017: Zellaton’s most impressive show to date

June 25, 2017 Panagiotis Karavitis Comments Off on High End 2017: Zellaton’s most impressive show to date

Bigger is not always better and you can ask Michael Schwab of Zellaton for the matter. As soon as I entered the room I could not but notice that the speakers sitting in the middle […]

May 24, 2017 Panagiotis Karavitis 1

RMAF 2016

RMAF 2016: Wilson Benesch Back on Track

October 27, 2016 John Stancavage 7

Wilson Benesch, a British manufacturer known for its elegant line of loudspeakers, has had an on-and-off presence in the U.S. market. During the times when its products were available here, the company’s “house sound” of […]

Newport Beach 2016

Newport 2016: I want my Aurender

June 24, 2016 John Stancavage 10

I usually come away from every audio show with at least one piece of gear that I am seriously smitten with. Normally that feeling, after a closer look at my bank statement, quickly fades away. […]

Munich 2016

High End 2016: Ypsilon and the Hyperion

May 22, 2016 Panagiotis Karavitis Comments Off on High End 2016: Ypsilon and the Hyperion

Ypsilon Electronics introduced the Hyperion mono power amps — and they sound gorgeous. Paired with a pair of Wilson Alexia, the new Hyperion monos were authoritative on low registers, yet still remained delicate and tactile on […]

RMAF 2015: Aaudio Imports, Lansche keep the fire burning

November 1, 2015 John Stancavage Comments Off on RMAF 2015: Aaudio Imports, Lansche keep the fire burning

I had just dropped into a chair to rest my feet for a minute before starting to photograph the Aaudio Imports room at RMAF 2015 when a gentleman sat down next to me. “Would you […]

RMAF 2014

RMAF 2014: Lansche sparks interest with Corona tweeter

November 24, 2014 Scot Hull Comments Off on RMAF 2014: Lansche sparks interest with Corona tweeter

By John Stancavage Normally, if I said to you, “Man, those tweeters are on fire!” you probably wouldn’t interpret it as a good thing. In the case of Germany’s Lansche Audio, though, it would mean […]

RMAF 2014 Roundup, Part 3: Big Rooms with Medium-sized Speakers

October 26, 2014 Scot Hull Comments Off on RMAF 2014 Roundup, Part 3: Big Rooms with Medium-sized Speakers

by Darryl Lindberg Aaudio: Lansche, Ypsilon, etc. I think this year’s Aaudio system, featuring the Lansche 5.1 ($50K) driven by Ypsilon electronics, was one of the best I’d heard from Brian Ackerman. In the previous […]

CAS 2013: Legacy, AAudio Imports, BMC, Ypsilon

August 25, 2013 Mal Kenney 2

“I want you to go to the Legacy room,” Scot said. It was probably midnight on the East Coast. I couldn’t imagine why he thought he’d need to tell me that. “You’re high,” I said. […]
