Axpona 2022 what impressed you?


I'll start. The Borrensen 01 playing Otis Taylor 'Resurrection blues' was stunning! I also enjoyed the Legacy Aeris on the first floor playing Nils lofgren 'Keith don't go'. In the smaller rooms there was a $4k pair of speakers with what looked like 18" woofers and a horn tweeter that performed well. While the kef ref 3 sounded harsh the ref 5 in a similar small room sounded great just reminding me how much incremental set up affects the demo. I only had a few hours on saturday and missed many rooms due to crowds and would enjoy hearing others impressions from the show.

I was impressed with the Alta Adam speaker. There were at least two rooms with them, in which one had a black finish to them and another with woodgrain. In the case of the woodgrain pair, I couldn't believe the amount of bass they created. Nice mid and top end too. Of course I don't know what they were driven with. I took tons of pictures and a dozen or so short videos with my Galaxy phone. I will have to go through them eventually to relive the experiences. I'd be interested to learn what the 4lk speakers you are referring to with the large woofer and horn.
