AXPONA 2022 ASR Meetup

[MediumRare]

Good but not A-maze-ing. Very room-sensitive and no slam.

 

[MediumRare]

Quite a concept. The rear 8 cabinets were playing.

I couldn’t tell if it’s one set or two sets of speakers up there

When I bought those Satori woofers I thought it was a shame to hide such a pretty magnet and spider in a box. I'm guessing Bayz said the same.

This is so ugly.

This is great guys, thank you!

How many rooms have EQ functionality outside of Roon?

How many rooms are using it, Roon or otherwise?

Enjoying the photos, thanks.

Nice, but too room dependent IMO. I thought I heard resonances but couldn’t measure of corse.

KEF, solid. Limited by the horrible room.

 

[MediumRare]

Mágico what can I say. The tracks are terrible so far.

BTW, cables!

A lot of laptop/desktop sources but I didn’t hear too many chirps and stuff on Thursday so I doubt there was a ton room correction

One of my favorites from 2019, too. $75,000 includes the off board subs, crossovers, and Crown 1200 watt amps for the subs.

Vimberg. The winner for good lighting. Sounds A-OK with female vocals. They never played much bass.

View attachment 201819Gryphon “Pure Class A” 225 WPC into 8 ohms. 450 lbs and $99,000. So a fair price per pound.

Similar cost per pound to the Topping PA5. But about 35dB$ more per watt.

 

[MediumRare]

Last room for me, fellas. Speakers are $50,000 and mono blocks are $80,000 for the pair. More nice female vocals and piano, sounded nice in this room. 15 feet from each wall. Played some modern Reggae/dub: tremendous finish to a great day.

OK, a little sumptin’ for dessert. One of the smoothest FRs I measured today. Excellent. Focal Utopia Maestro, $75,000.Naim preamp + monoblocks, wait for it, $300,000.

Keep ‘em coming! I’m like 75% to go tomorrow (I assume there are still tickets), so knowing LX521s are around and seeing pics of companies such as Aretau that I’ve never heard of but look like they have something interesting are great to plan a short day.

Who’s playing interesting music rather than boring audiophile standards?

Hi Jay,
I was planning on attending tomorrow also for my first Axpona show. Are there only a limited number of tickets? I just figured I’d pick them up at the door. Should I play it safe and grab them online instead?

“ (I assume there are still tickets),”

No. There is no limit.

Those of you who are there, be sure to ask the companies to send products to us for measurement if you are interested in them!
