| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? @donavabdear You make a very astute point. Did you notice how many JBL type rooms were booming like a 1980’s Panasonic Platinum Series boom-box. With the exception of most ultra high end gear the trend in audio is towards getting noticed or engag... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report @blisshifi Appreciate your knowledgeable insight and stating your audio biases. | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report @blisshifi +1 Great overview on the 1st Floor "Ultra" level systems. The $70k Vimberg Tonda D(Wynn Audio) set up was exceptional as my No.2 system at the show. I thought the muscular intense sound had a very live presentation. Not sure if you com... | |

| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Last year I heard the just released Burmester 216 and was very impressed with the liquidity and the ease of operation driving a Sonus Faber Lilium. I asked the sales rep. the usual generic questions and $35k was quoted. I thought this an extreme v... | |
| AXPONA — PS Audio Was the 1st speaker I heard on Friday and was very disappointed in the 30 and 20. They sounded slow, tired and congested. In defense they seemed to open up a little when i heard them on Sunday afternoon. | |
| Axpona 2023 @mikempls Thx for the kind words! I did not see the Scansonic MB models but many of the Raidho models the TD 2.2($45k) was exceptional even when playing Tool. Did you hear the MB 5B, the claimed sweet spot in the Scansonic line-up? Also would lik... | |
| Axpona 2023 @mikempls +1 Yes, The Canton room was very disappointing. The Reference 3k sounded sluggish/veiled and unengaging. I talked to the Monitor Audio sales rep. and he was very upfront about the Platinum Series being made in China He was very convin... | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? @mapman I hope your being facetious. | |
| Bacch SP ??? I was there at Axpona. I did not want to invest my time studying the technology until listening. Did it create a 3D soundstage? Yes, it did but they were using active speakers of unknown quality they did not mention the source(was I suppose to kno... | |
| Franco Serblin Ktêma Loudspeakers I also heard them for the first time on Sunday. I found them too "honey" toned with the Air Tight gear. Still sounded great but the potential is there with a top level SS amp for an end game speaker! | |
| Borresen X3 at Axpona Agree they are a top contender at $11k. I’m curious if the Scansonic MB-B model 5 or 6 are superior? I talked to the Borresen sales rep. and asked why are these not a 3 way speaker? He said "I hate 3 way speakers due to discontinuity". Also mentio... | |
| Axpona 2023 +1 @rsf507 Yes, there was an arrogance in that room. Which in most cases does not bother me. I want the sales/rep designer to be proud of the product. My only issue was with the Wilson Benesch sales rep. I asked why the Precision series was abse... | |
