Would appreciate any WBF members visiting the Munich show to visit the Lyravox speakers from Germany. They are unveiling their new flagship tower speakers, supposed to be something special. Thanks so much in advance!
Hi NZS,
I have not purchased the speaker 808 cables yet.... My current speakers cables are sounding quite organic in my system, so felt no need for a swap yet, however I may buy them in the fall ..
I like the 808 Interconnects 's performance quite a bit. Very neutral and balanced, and...
Brad,
If you get a chance could you stop by the Dynamikks room, if they are exhibiting, to comment on their new series of loudspeakers? Would be great to hear your impressions on those. Also, if you going to visit the Deluxe show, can you also visit the Pullman Hotel nearby to visit the...
I bet this Gobel set up with the Pilium amps will get one of the best sound at the show. Same for the Raidho speakers, hope these speakers will finally sound non mechanical.
I did listen to the new Zellaton Emotion Evo extensively at the Axpona 2024, and frankly its sound left much to be desired in my opinion, no matter how hard I wanted to like it.
To my ears the Zellaton Legacy model from the Classic line coupled with a pair, or better yet, a quad of very fast...
In the US its mostly the distributors who jack up the prices. There are some audio companies that insist on their product portfolio be priced the same around the world (taxes VAT exclusive of course). Sadly, too few of those. And, then after these distro fail to sell more than 2 or 3 a year...
Have you tried the amplifiers the JMF Audio from France, or the Symphonic Line Kraft 300 Anniversary Edition by any chance? In my experience amplifiers from those two brands bring touch of humanity to the music, along with "organic" neutrality & non-mechanical quality of music reproduction...
Sounded really good at the Axpona 24, to my ears better than most loudspeakers in the price range of 100K usd category and above. Too bad, when lots of European audio brands are being imported into the States their price almost always doubles, as is the case with these DUO GT 72K Euros (not...
Jeffrey Catalano's HIGH WATER SOUND room was also a standout for both its excellent if slightly bass heavy (due to room's size) sonics and musical treasures he brings and plays in his room. Highly recommended!
I concur that Devore's new Bronze speakers were just sublime sounding. And yes, his selection of musical treasures made his room an oasis for when I needed to escape the usual hi-fi dreck that was being played in most rooms. I was not in a market for new speakers, but after hearing the new...
The Westminster gear is lovely sounding as well. There are few solid state amps that are also very liquid sounding. I share your issues with Pilium's size, as I no longer can easily lift a 150 pound box by myself, however me thinks Piliums' corporate motto probably is: Buy our amps once, place...
I visited that room today and I have to say that much to my amazement the Magico A5 sounded lush. Can't recall hearing "lush" and Magico in one sentence. However in this case the sound was something special indeed. Even outside of the sweet spot the soundstage was just enveloping in all...
One of the best rooms in terms of how mature and organic the music (not the sound of the system) there sounded.... I visited that room few times and spent quite a long time just to give my ears relief and refresh my senses from lot of hi-fi contenders" . That room along with (big surprise)...
I saw those and listened to them today at the Axpona , and with all due respect, their sound was not remotely "worth" that kind of money to my ears IMHO!!! Not even 50 grand!
