Let's Go Together!

Thanks, Larry.

My strategy this year was to walk into as many rooms as I could and take a photo or two. If I liked what I heard, I sat down and listened for a while. This enabled me to enjoy both of my hobbies at the same time. :-D

The show was massive. I did not make it into every room, and not all of my photos were usable because some rooms were packed full of people. Friday was surprisingly busy; very different from when I attended in 2023. Also different was the makeup of attendees. A lot more younger folks in 2025, which was great to see. I think the expanded headphones exhibit and car audio helped to expand the audience.

David, thanks for sharing all of those great photos from the show. Looks like some awesome gear was on display. Although I couldn't make it, seeing all of those pics made me feel like I was actually browsing the rooms at the show (without the hard sell) and poor acoustics !

The show was amazing this year. I had great conversations with Legacy Audio's founders, Totem Acoustics, CAD, Jantzen, and others. Here are photos I took of some of the exhibits I could visit. I certainly did not see everything. Rooms that actually took acoustic measurements and made adjustments accordingly had a significant advantage over those that did not. The Perlisten and Legacy Audio rooms sounded great. I was not super impressed by the Magico M9 room, but it didn't sound terrible. Just terrible value for money. :-D

Hoping I can catch some of you in 2026!
