The "New York" International Audio Show - October 24-26 2025 in north New Jersey

[Dialectic]

Then you have this room, with snake oil hidden at every corner and in plane sight.

I was told that the pole in the middle is called the "vibrator" brought to you by Synergistic Research.

That fine firm should perhaps pivot to making sex toys.

but, one might reasonably argue, not with a form factor like the aforementioned Vibrator Vibratron.

Did you meet the gentleman, who is also a motorcycle enthusiast and former bodybuilder?

He should sell sex toys.

So this speaker is probably the most obscure product at the show. The brand is called Omni Speakers, I couldn't find their website. The gentleman manning the room didn't know much about it, he said he was watching the room for his friend.

Basically it's a bunch of drivers facing each other in a sphere. It sounded very confusing, I couldn't localized where the sound was coming from. It appears to be a prototype, as it seems to be a half baked science project.

I want a pair, for the cabling alone.

No Red Denney was not there himself, one of his foot soldier was, he has a similarly evil smirk.

 

[Kal Rubinson]

Too bad. What could have been a good demo of a good pair of speakers was subsumed into an annoying A/B test of this silly gadget.

Did anybody stop by my room?

I loved the way how you handled yourself when some people asked you questions that is clearly audio myth in nature. You were diplomatic yet scientific and honest.

I also like how you designed your products to be modular and upgradeable, I see a lot of value in that.

Also that speaker is very interesting with the rear firing mid range.

Good job Leo, keep up the good work.
