Axpona 2022 what impressed you?
I'll start. The Borrensen 01 playing Otis Taylor 'Resurrection blues' was stunning! I also enjoyed the Legacy Aeris on the first floor playing Nils lofgren 'Keith don't go'. In the smaller rooms there was a $4k pair of speakers with what looked like 18" woofers and a horn tweeter that performed well. While the kef ref 3 sounded harsh the ref 5 in a similar small room sounded great just reminding me how much incremental set up affects the demo. I only had a few hours on saturday and missed many rooms due to crowds and would enjoy hearing others impressions from the show.
@Steve59
The Raidhos were driven by a pair of anniversary-edition Margules tube amps that cost $10,000 each but that I believe are completely or substantially the same as the $6,000 version. You don't even need two of them to drive the Raidho TD 3.8s to perfection. I was blown away by the sound in that room. |
@daveyf 120k for a small 2 way? And the stands will be an extra 25k? When will this madness end? |
@rsf507 Great question. It might end when folks with money begin to realize how little value they are getting for their money ( and actually care about that!)...and more importantly, do not open up their wallets to allow the madness to continue! IMHO. |
I think the borrensen 01 is $32k a pair with $3500 ea for stands, lol. shysters for sure. The room I was in Aavik electronics were driving the speakers and it looked like 2 amps per channel, but idk which ones. The show is fun and I’m just wish I could have gotten into hear the wilson’s as they usually put on a great demo also. |
