Opening of Audeum Museum

https://www.audeum.org/home

 

Mr Chung of Silbatone had built Audeum Museum in memory of his late father with budget of 150 M USD.

 

 

 

 

I attended opening ceremony on May 30th, 2024. Mr Chung gave speech.

 

 

Mr Chung gave explanation of the system. This one is Western Electric 16A and 16B.

 

 

 

 

 

 

They also display rather new vintage speakers dated 1950-1960.

Vintage speakers sounds natural with generous dynamics and details.

The shortcoming of it vintage are limited bandwidth, no deep bass and no treble above 12khz.

While I enjoy modern speakers, I would like to have a Western Electric vintage horn system before I die.😀

I deleted some photos and videos since the host does not want some guest to be exposed.

 

 

But I had good time with my twin granddaughters in Korea.

Most folks could not afford the vintage collection

But if you are interested in vintage audio, this place is must visit.

There is no admission fee, but you need pre appointment for guided tour through website.
