John DeVore’s room at AXPONA this year was a delight on many levels. Not only was he showcasing a new speaker, but he was way off the reservation with music selection in a good way. […]
Room 550 at this year’s AXPONA was super cool. I was treated to the more well-known ampsandsound tube amplifiers, along with the new-to-me Yellowstone preamp and the fantastic ampsandsound Hudson horn speakers. The Black Pearl […]
I’ve grown to love the offerings from Geshelli Labs at the last few years of audio shows, and this year’s AXPONA was no exception. I suppose it’s partially because they’re a homegrown company in my […]
Room 1521 at AXPONA this year featured a company with which I was not familiar: Consonus Audio. They were presenting their super cool Tide speakers, listed at about $80k/pair. These are American-made, partially-open back transducers, […]
