Re: Axpona 2017 Official Pictures & Report Thread
Mike,
This is the system I liked so much. It was the most emotionally engaging of any system I heard, regardless of price. The synergy between the Avant-garde speakers and amps was off the charts terrific and the Bergmann air bearing turntable was unbelievably great. When the played Michael Hedge's Aerial Boundaries in Windham Hill vinyl, Le Roy's and my jaws just dropped.
Best,
Ken"No summit worth climbing is easily attained."

Re: Axpona 2017 Official Pictures & Report Thread
The Soulution room with the Piego speakers was also excellent. I was in there three separate times. A very clean and transparent sound. Neutral in the treble. So many speakers were bright or edgy in the treble, too many to count!

My choice for best sounding room would be the vinyl only Wilson - Benesch room (638), powered by Ypsilon electronics (and their phono-stage), using a high-end Thales turntable for its only source. Honourable mention I would give to the Briscati room, which had Tidal speakers and careful room treatment.

Re: Axpona 2017 Official Pictures & Report Thread
First, thanks to Mike and others who attended the show for pics and feedback. I do have a question. After CES, there was a gloom and doom over US High End audio in general. What was the overall feel of this show? Were vendors more upbeat and excited about doing business? Were there any signs that our disappearing dealer network is recovering? Were there young people (as in below 40) in attendance?

Re: Axpona 2017 Official Pictures & Report Thread
Me!! I got left to shut down the bar solo at the casino though by all the old farts .
There were a decent amount of younger people and a noticeable increase in women attendees and women presenters for the rooms too. In the Joseph room Saturday late there were 5 women and 4 men at one point. Wonder if it had to do with the female appeal of the size, or lack there of, and simplicity of the room. And of course the great sound.
I'm not in the "industry" just a consumer so I don't get feedback or hear the chatter about sales, dealer networks, or the like.

Thanks for sharing all the show pics. Question: How did the Odyssey room sound? FYI - My sense of humor helps me smile at that room's sign, ymmv.

Mike
Thanks for all the pics. You are the champ!
I didn't bother taking any pics at all because I knew you would have everything I'd ever want.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!Jock
