    AXPONA 2022 CHICAGO

    in Lounge

    Posted

    Lots of vendors inc many Euros

    Some, many of the regular vendors weren't present or apparent

    Sat attendance was good, but not as many as in the past

    I visited approx 60%

     

    As usual the rooms are hard to tune

    so lots of gear that should sound good, doesn't

    Lots of good stuff to see and hear.

     

    The best tuned / sounding room was Wynn Audio

    noticeably better than everyone.

    Told me they spent 5 hours tuning and moving the speakers around.

     

    Klipsch was there with reseller ABT

    ABT has all-most of the Heritage line in their main Chicago Burb showroom

    Jubs were the only Klipsch speaker on display

    Mr Delgado was there interacting with the faithful

     

    Legacy Audio, Springfield IL sounded great as usual

    I think theirs are all active.

     

    Borrensen Denmark was interesting

    Proprietary speaker tech

    Three brand names, speakers, electronics etc

    Like most-all of the Euros, if they have giant speakers, they leave them at home

    Great sounding Danish Babe they played for me

    Digging for the Piano-Jazz track I heard

     

    AGD Productions, Inc USA

    Interesting take on Class D Amp Design

    Based on higher performance Gallium Nitride MOSFET MIL Grade Processors

    Few different models, amp in a tube look, upgradeable ?

    Class D amp rolling ?

    Would be interesting to bake off vs an AB amp

    Headphone room

    Should be quiet instead of noisy

    Most of the cans were open, so lots of noise

    Warwick Cans out of the UK towered above the others

    also in a much quieter corner.

    The $16K uber expensive cans of course were the ones for me

    Apereo Model = $16K ?

    From NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts... Punch Brothers with the amazing CHris Thile (the whole group is simply amazing!). The first two minutes is an intro and happy birthday to Chris. Then it's on to another world. Incedible arrangements and playing as always. Catch his other group Nickel Creek, too.

    I think it was the Stones greatest hits 1976 was their last LP I liked

    after that their music changed significantly into a different direction.

    Altec 604 coaxial

    Hi,

    Not Klipsch, but I’m sure there’s some with Altec experience. Anybody have any experiences with the Altec, or current Great Plains Audio, 604 Coaixal?

    I’ve become interested in the idea of building a set of speakers with these drivers and biamping them with active XO’s.  
    Lots of love for these drivers on Altec forum, but looking for comparisons to Klipsch.

    thanks

     

    If you do a build

    post it here.

    Some of the guys are wood workers and speaker builders

    who would appreciate the work product
