AXPONA Chicago April 10-12, 2026 - Who is going??


Hi gang, I'm looking forward to attending again - all three days. If you're going, what are you most looking forward to hearing/seeing?

As was mentioned elsewhere, Andrew Jones and his new field-coil speakers will definitely be getting attention, but what else is on your radar?

Anyone want to meet for a cocktail on Friday or Saturday?

As I posted in the other Axpona thread..this morning(?)

There will be a room, in the 300's I think, with Aretai Contra speakers.  I believe they'll also be showing with Ben of Mojo Audio, last I heard. If the speaker setup is anywhere close to what it was in Tampa, and I suspect it will be, then they'll be in the running for the best speakers you'll hear, regardless of price.  

The only thing that has changed from this morning is I'm now going to be able to attend.  yay. I may be up for a cocktail depending on time/place. 

Ah, I missed that that was an AXPONA 2026 thread... 

Anyway, glad you can go! 

I'll be sure to check out the Aretai Contra speakers. According to the hotel/exhibitor map, Mojo Audio is in room 360. 

I'll be there all 3 days. I'm looking for speaker cables, and interested in visiting Mojo and some other rooms to look at DAC's. Staying at the Hyatt Regency.

I’ll be going Saturday late afternoon and Sunday morning. Nothing particular on my radar but I look forward to connecting with some friends, browsing some vinyl, chatting w/ the T+A people on some updates for my gear, among other things.
