Axpona

It is interesting that all or most of the Axpona rooms mentioned in this thread are identified by the speakers heard. So it is always good to keep in mind that speakers alone make no sound when evaluating what one hears.

Attributing everything to the speakers alone an easy trap to fall into. Its an error of omission mainly, but can be a misleading one when it happens.

Mapman, Agreed, listening at shows is confusing at best. However, when the whole chain in a particular room sounds great then you can be pretty sure about the performance level of the speakers. Also, it's important to wait until full warm-up on the third day of a show before forming judgment.

Its true, if you hear something you like in a system, you know what is possible with the speakers.

Then you just still have to figure out how to get things to sound that same way at home which may not be easy. :^)

Please tell us who is the dealer and charlatan.Thanks

I can only speak for myself. I am definitely not a dealer.

I'd also like to think I am not a charlatan but I suppose that is more a judgement call . :^)
