Your Favorite Room at AXPONA 2025?

I am interested to get other's impressions of what they heard at AXPONA this year. What was your favorite room?

I visited just about every room had AXPONA, and there were a lot of really good systems. However, my favorite by a long shot was the Margules room. The combination of their Class A tube amplifiers, and the Century Overture speakers was absolutely amazing. The sound was so smooth and natural, with a deep and wide soundstage, the best I heard at the show.

Runner up was my favorite last year, that was Choice Audio and Well Pleased Audio's room showing the QLN Reference speakers along with the new Merason Mountain DAC and Vinnie Rossi amplification. Again really great natural sound, but Margules upstaged them by a bit.

What was your favorite?

Best room I heard - PS Audio with the new PMG Signature gear.

Most disappointing - Wilson Audio XVX: for a cool million for the system, I expected something exceptional. Didn't hear it. Enjoyed the WATT/Puppy system much more.

Most surprising - Advance Paris A-12/PMC Prophecy 5''s - Amazing sound from relatively diminutive floor standers. Outstanding for the money.
