| 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... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report MY BAD(LOL)! They must have been a late entry. | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report Anyone know if any Wilson Benesch speakers will be demonstrated? Did not see Wilson Benesch on the exhibitor list. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Steve Tyrell-This Guy's In Love(CD) Kicks off a "favorites" vinyl night! | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? When I attend Axpona this weekend my focus will not only be on the gear but watching how others interact with the sales reps./dealers. The last audio show I attended was about 10 years ago and there were some unscrupulous individuals in attendance... | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? IMO the customer dictates how the salesperson will react. There is always the "know it all guy" that can’t stay silent or the "everything is overpriced" how do you expect a salesperson to react? I talked at length to a Sonus Faber rep. regarding t... |
