Axpona 2025: Final Thoughts

April 19, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
HiFi shows are many things but I think their most important function is one of introductions and reacquaintance.

Axpona 2025: Notable Products

April 19, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
Products of note. There were lots (and lots) or things at Axpona 2025 I wished I could get to know better having been bit by their charms during my fleeting time in their company.
Axpona 2025

Axpona 2025 Favorite Rooms: Fidelity Imports | Wilson Benesch | Audia Flight

April 18, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
In true go big or go home fashion, Fidelity Imports filled 9 rooms on the 12th floor of Axpona 2025 plus the ginormous Utopia D ballroom.

Axpona 2025 Favorite Rooms: Audio Note

April 17, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
Audio Note is another company whose gear I’ve enjoyed for more than years. We’re talking decades.
Axpona 2025

Axpona 2025 Favorite Rooms: Fern & Roby | Network Acoustics

April 17, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
I don’t know about you, but I like to look at hifi too. Between you and me, I also enjoy the feel.
Axpona 2025

Axpona 2025 Favorite Rooms: LAiV Audio | Pure Audio Project

April 17, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
While it’s nice to review components, I find it even more interesting to hear a system, especially when that system is largely comprised of a single company’s stuff.
Axpona 2025

Axpona 2025: Favorite Rooms: Fidelity Imports | Unison Research | Opera Loudspeakers

April 17, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
I had the good fortune of seeing and hearing an early example of the Unison S6 Black Edition at the company’s HQ located near the nearly unbelievably picturesque city of Treviso in northern Italy.
Axpona 2025

Axpona 2025 Favorite Rooms: Tone Imports

April 17, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
I first met Jonathan Halpern of Tone Imports when I was auditioning a pair of Cain & Cain Abby single driver loudspeakers some 20 or so years ago.
Axpona 2025

Axpona 2025 Favorite Rooms: DeVore Fidelity

April 16, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
I’ve owned a few pair of speakers from DeVore Fidelity dating back to the early 2000s including the Super 8, The NINES, gibbon X, O/93, and my current and main squeeze the O/96.
Axpona 2025

Axpona 2025 Favorite Rooms: Audio Excellent | Music for Pleasure

April 16, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
I fell hard for the Atoll DSA300 streaming integrated amp I reviewed back in December of last year and arrived at Axpona 2025 hungry for more.

Axpona 2025 Favorite Rooms: High Water Sound

April 16, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Jeff Catalano’s High Water Sound room at Axpona 2025 joins every room of his I’ve had the great pleasure of experiencing over the years on my list of favorites.
Axpona 2025

Axpona 2025 Favorite Rooms: Rhythm Distribution | Marten | Goldmund

April 16, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
Every pair of Marten loudspeakers I’ve heard have been the epitome of smooth refined sound including the wonderful Marten Parker Trio I reviewed back in 2022 about which I said:
Axpona 2025

Axpona 2025 Favorite Rooms: Axiss Audio | Gauder Akustik | Soulution

April 15, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
I visited three rooms sponsored by Axiss Audio with Gauder Akustik’s exceptional loudspeakers and even though Room 1628 had the smallest floorstander, the Capello 100 which I recently reviewed (and loved), it grabbed my attention the mostest.
Axpona 2025

Axpona 2025 Favorite Rooms: Vinnie Rossi | Rockport Technologies

April 15, 2025 Michael Lavorgna
If you keep up with my reviews, you know I think very highly of the Vinnie Rossi Brama Integrated Amplifier as well as the Rockport Atria II Loudspeakers.
