When money is no bar
Yesterday was probably a day I will remember for ever. Due to the beneficence of a "Audiokarma" forum member, I was invited to audition couple of "expensive" speakers in Hong Kong. I was amazed by the professionalism of the sales managers who very well knew that I was not in market for $300K and $500K speakers.
The first audition was for Goldmund Epilogue speakers.
Goldmund - Epilogue 1+2
The engineering behind the speaker was extra-ordinary for its simplicity. The driver placement ensure the time and phase coherency. End of the day you hear the drivers rather than the box. Needless to say it sounded amazing.
From there we went to Avant-Garde horn. We auditioned Duo and Trio series speakers.
TRIO CLASSICO - Avantgarde Acoustic Hornloudspeaker GMBH
These are 104 dB and 109 dB speakers respectively. Source was Kondo turntable and 37W Kondo tube amp. It is amazing what 37W can do to a 109 dB speaker. Pavoratti and friends sang to us in the room.
All this within half a km walk from each other. I love Hong Kong.
