THE HI-FI SHOW IN AUSTRIA

[Brit on a Budget]

A CD player, apparently.

Incredible. All that money going into that CD player and yet they choose a kitchen cabinet hinge

I must say, none of our audio shows have such beautiful displays/rooms like I see there. Even their reception area is way, way, fancier than ours.

Snake oil pays off. … still.

Reminds me of a microwave.

Hey thanks for posting all the great pictures. Not sure how they alll sound but they sure do look sexy. I really like the look of the Taylor speakers. Did you happen to listen to them?

Hopefully it's soft close.

Looks like it bakes the cake also

There is also a plug for an iCoffee Machine (c).

Thanks for all photos and the time spend to publish it.

Kind of ironic situation, I am looking at these photos and in the same time listening music via some humble Fosi BT20A Pro.

I haven’t been to a hi-fi show in many years but I can count on one hand the good sounding systems I’ve heard at these shows. The circus of hi-end charlatans (exhibitors) have done irreparable damage to the hobby.

Tubes and turntables, all that 1950's technology and speakers that look like they have been designed by Beetlegeuse after a frenzied night on cocaine.

blum is an industry standard

 

[listen to the music]

Absolutním vrcholem pro mě je:
Dess akustik - Space M PRO

I have heard this Dess speaker at a fair in germany about a month ago. It seemed to be the only company which was using a DSP for room correction. The DSP is part of the concept and the DSP setup in your room is included. I really appreciate this approach.

I liked the speaker, but it was not my favorite on this show.

You can get them from Ikea too, but they might sound different. ;-)

D'Agostinos' for normies,pfff...






..and I always thought Giya should had a salad now and then (hope I'm not canceled for speaker-fat shaming )

It's okay if you don't mess with Morel Fat Lady

I heard Taylor speakers. The first thing that caught my attention was their beautiful honest appearance, perhaps as if they were carved from real wood. Their sound was brutally strong and robust, but maybe they lost a bit of delicacy, it play about the way it look.

Can I ask you how did MA Hyphn and these "sewer pipes" (omnipolars?) perform? To your ears/taste ofc

MLs static panels are love and life regardless of what "FR graph listenes" say about

The MA Hypn didn't sound particularly good and actually looked like they could be used somewhere in the corridor of a shopping center. "Sewer Pipes" sounded pretty good, you still have to see them as they are interestingly weird.

Statické panely ML jsou láska a život bez ohledu na to, o čem "graf FR poslouchá" říká:chladný:

They had a particularly good sense of spaciousness.

Very unusual designs there. This one takes the cake:

What on earth is it?

I believe the top unit is a popcorn maker resting on an induction heating unit. Red things may deliver butter and/or other flavorings.
