Fleetwood deville impressions -Mixed bag vs the competition
@jackd What are your general impressions of the Voce Grande? I heard the Offrande SupremeV3 several years ago at RMAF and was very impressed, one of my favorite rooms at the show.   
Wolf Von Langa - Serendipity Speaker
Bob - FWIW I heard the Serendipity at CAF last November. To me they sounded very dynamic with an expansive soundstage however a bit tipped up on the high end and a little thin in the midrange. Doug from Gestalt Audio (the dealer) told me that the ...

@soix +1 on your recommendation of Clayton Audio amps.  
Capital Audiofest Coming Up!
Any show goers hear a new (to North America) Italian speaker by a company named Albedo? They were in one of the Supreme Acoustic Systems rooms. They were introducing a new speaker called Achema, rather modest in size but quite impressive using cer... 
Battle of the Open Baffles
@larryi @kennyc  The PAP Trios with the Voxativ field coil drivers are sublime, far outperforming the "standard" Voxativ drivers offered as the center drivers for that model IMHO (albeit at a significant cost increase). I heard them at the New Yor... 
The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023!
Anyone hear the Voxativ room? I believe they were demoing their updated Ampeggio. Impressions??  
The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023!
@larryi I heard the Trios with the Voxativ field coil module a few years back at the New York audio show, they were fantastic. Driven by a low powered Pass integrated amp their sonic bliss was much as you so aptly described, lively yet non aggress... 
Estate sale Fuselier speakers for $370 but I know nothing about them.
@thatguyyouknow Great! With some high quality electronics and front end you will have an enjoyable and rewarding system. BTW, I believe your speakers are the 3.3s. The base of the 3.3 and 5S models are different. From the picture you posted it ap...

Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker
@bernardo When I click on "CAF 2023 Exhibitors and Brands" it sends me to a page titled "Exhibitors CAF 2022  Check Out Last Year's List Of Capital Audiofest 2022 Exhibitors". I can't seem to find this year's exhibitors on their website, odd as th...

Their website seems to be currently only showing last year's exhibitors, or am I missing something?

@elliottbnewcombjr Thank you. And my apologies if I in any way hijacked this thread...  
Sweet sounding tubes for preamps
@elliottbnewcombjr What was the alternate rectifier that you and your friend preferred in the UltraVerve? I have an Ultraverve and am using a 5AW4 rectifier as recommended by Kara. Was the alternate a different brand of the 5AW4 or a different typ... 
Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices.
@mulveling Thanks, that's good to know. My tube amp (DeHavilland 50A) was voiced with Gold Lion KT-88s which as we know are becoming difficult to source new. Then there are the tubes of Chinese origin, Viva sells Psvane and Linlai, although they a...
