A little later that normal posting about the yearly AXPONA 2025 show. The AXPONA 2025 show occurred in April and I was there Saturday. Weather was beautiful once again. AXPONA organizers stated that attendance was the highest ever. Below are some pictures and there are many others out there from various sources.

Look forward to attending the show next year and on the bucket list to get to Munich.

Monitor Audio Hyphn speakers. Bizarre shape but beautiful finish and sound!

This was room was spectacular! Of course it was probably like 2M+ but the Magic M9 controlled a large space with terrible room acoustics.

The Wadax digital section

The four Dan D’Agostino Relentless amplififers

Magico speaker cut away to show extensive CNC milled aluminum structure

A much simpler setup

Very interesting component that has a switch to align to the type of tube installed - innovative

Somewhat random picture as can't remember the relevance

Wilson Audio with Dan D’Agostino amplifiers. We attended a dCS Varese event at Quintessence Audio in IL in December 2024 and definitely recognize the equipment they brought to AXPONA.
