AXPONA Show Coverage of Hi-Fi Loudspeakers
A special moment in the life of every Audioholic is to be present at the unveiling of a sensational new loudspeaker system, and there are few better places to accomplish that than at AXPONA. We were happy to cover the truly stand out products on this show coverage page so you could get a more close up personal look at them. The speakers we covered here range from affordable to cost-no object designs. Some of the mainstream brands are here but we also covered some of the more unique designs in hi-fi which deserve the attention of anyone interested in good sound but might be overlooked due to their less conventional constructions or less flamboyant appearance or name recognition. We listened to some incredibly good sounding bookshelf speakers whose sound seem to defy their size and some stand out floorstanders that any audiophile would dream to own regardless of whether they could afford to. Now onto the speakers…
