Axpona 2016


Went to Axpona today and of all the rooms the VAC room using Von Schweikert speakers had a special sound.

There were a couple rigs this year at AXPONA '16 I thought the best I had ever heard at a show. But, then I returned home and thought, "Phhht! Those rigs were BAD! My home system is MUCH better!"  ;) 

Very good reports guys- wished I could have attended.
I have been wanting to demo a Wells Audio amp.
Charles1dad, "2, High Water Sound room, TW Raven TT, New Audio Frontiers 845 SET stereo amplifier driving the Hornings speakers. A bit of upper bass emphasis  (room related? ) but very lively, dynamic with very good midrange, pace and musical swing/flow.

3, Jadis el 34 integrated amplifier driving B &W speakers, this was a surprising good match.  The music just flowed.Convincing tonality and engagement emotionally."

Thank you for your impressions, Charles.  Always good to hear show feedback.

The Horning speakers and Jadis integrateds are two products I really like.  Like enough that I bought them.  Also surprising, although not the absolute best combination I've found, the Jadis DA60 was the second best amplifier I've tried with the Hornings.
Hello Trelja, 
Based on what I heard I'd have to believe that the Jadis amplifier driving the Hornings has to be quite wonderful.  Your music must really be a thrill to hear with that combo. You obviously have good taste. 
Charles, 
I visited the Wells Audio room several times. Jeff Wells is very passionate about his products. I think that for the money they are a great value. His new integrated amp with Salk Song speakers sounded terrific. Your would be very hard pressed to find something better for less than $6K for both.
