Here is my report for the first day of AXPONA 2024:
AXPONA 2024 Ron Reporting
- Thread starter Ron Resnick
- Start date
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!
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) John Devore's new Bronze model just were were oasis of sheer musicality. Jeffrey Catalano is NYC's musical scene's unheralded treasure!

The sound in that room was indeed superb! Best I ve heard the Avantgarde sounded at any shows I ve attended. And I'm not a "horn" guy by a mile!

I had the same reaction: best Avantgarde showing in my experience, as well.
Really liking the new one to one short interviews mixed in with the slice of life videos of the camera through the rooms Ron… the accompanying wild reel of room sound for atmos brings the sense of the experience of wandering through the rooms with it. It’s a really good mix.
The timing of the video grabs and interviews also seems spot on and your questions are particularly on point and the interviews are illuminating. I think you’ve got a great show coverage approach happening now. Much appreciated.

It's great coverage, Ron. I think you are constructing a good model for how these events should be presented.
Very informative Ron. Just to clarify you're discussing XDMI and not XDMS software. I know, it’s confusing for me too.
Cheers

The colossal ESD horn system with this fancy Chinese lacquer color is US$4 million. In normal finish it's US$1.2 million, which is really very reasonable for all of these components!
I thought this monster sounded fantastic! I would substitute Viva Aurora Monos for all of the solid-state amplification, and I would substitute analog for streaming.
