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.

@nyaudio98 the Borreson stand mounts sounded awesome but at $60,000 agree WAY too much $$$$.

Too many rooms played music LOUD. To be honest nothing really stood out but maybe the Acora loudspeakers. Still the room was HUGE so how would they sound in a normal listening room would be the question.

@daveyf 120k for a small 2 way? And the stands will be an extra 25k? When will this madness end?

My wife has shut my wallet but doesn't make much difference b/c there's little left after paying for food and gas. Luckily I got a Bricasti M3 at a good price and love streaming, hearing so much new music.
