Been going to AXPONA for manty years and this is the first time I was actually floored by a speaker. Actually 2 speakers from the same maker that were in 2 separate rooms. Borresen 01 and 02. $60,000 bookshelf speakers on the first floor and $90,000 floor standers on the 16th floor. If I ever win the lottery these are mine! Also really like the TAD Micro evolution bookshelves and the Valorem bookshelves.
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.
