    Munich HighEnd 2024

    Best of luck with that plan. Having perused the app and the layout/logistics of all the brands and exhibitors: where they are, their distance from each other and how they are grouped by the organizers in the app, that's going to be one helluva task getting the most out of the show.

    Re-imagining "Class A" Amplification

    There was a time not so long ago when WestMinsterLabs, as a brand, was not on audiophiles' shortlists, let alone even exist.. My, how so much can happen in a short space of time.

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    Some Housekeeping. if the folks at AXPONA keep this up, good on them, I won't have to do this work anymore aggregating the PDF file. Visit this link: https://axpona.com/exhibitors/. and you will find their OFFICIAL Exhibitor Spreadsheet. And if you look closely you'll see that they too do not...

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    Ok, manually added. I'm curious when SME was added because I've been running my script daily and for the past few days there have been no changes.

    Field Coil Driver Panel Discussion at Southwest Audio Fest 2024

    I heard the Songer speakers last year in California and would like to hear them at AXPONA but from what I gather I don't see them exhibiting as of yet. I understand there is a new model. The funny thing is that all the folks I speak to about this brand are torn between the open baffle and closed...

    Field Coil Driver Panel Discussion at Southwest Audio Fest 2024

    I was asked about my decision not to employ subwoofers, and in my particular situation: room size/dimensions, along with the English Acoustic 41C valve/tube amplifier there's just no need. The amplifier maintains a vice-like grip on the bass. It's as if the two were designed for each other. I...
