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?

I enjoyed the show.  Loved seeing people.  Loved the enthusiasm for the gear on each room. The exhibitors really put their all into most rooms. I’m blessed to be a part of a company , the show , a great room and this hobby of ours.   Loved the brotherhood and finding new music. Loved meeting people from allow over the world 

@calvinj     +1   Great for a dealer to have such a positive attitude! Unfortunately some dealer/sellers are only concerned about profits not professional ethics or just common courtesy. Many of these sellers will disappear and move on to a new hustle.

@dayglow I constantly remind people I do what I do with infigo no because I have to but because I believe in the product. I have ran another successful business for 25 years.  I want people to have the products to enjoy their music and this hobby. Not just for me to make a buck. People constantly remind me to tell the forum that  a dealer. I’m a hobbyist first. I love the music over it all 

@calvinj    Thx for the reply and insight. I have been unable to attend Axpona the past 3 years due to an Andrea Bocelli concert(24), work related training(25), and a family wedding(26)! Apparently this was the best run Axpona yet, any dealer/seller that degrades the event and the 12k+ attendees has some serious mental disorders.

hilde45...I agree that OCD HI-Fi Guy may be too blunt for many viewers...But I also agree with 90% of what he's complaining about...So many opinions and anyone can post and review shows and gear on-line today and some are just repeating the BS they read or view.
