AXPONA proved once again that it is the king of audio shows here in the U.S. It's held in a fantastic venue, there's a huge number of rooms, and an enormous crowd jamming those rooms full all weekend.
The Volti Audio room was packed most of the weekend with audiophiles anxious to hear the New Vittora speakers. Even Sunday was busy, which is often not the case at audio shows. There have been times at other shows where I've poked my head out of the door on a Sunday afternoon and looked down the hallway and all I heard were crickets chirping.
The response to the sound in our room was overwhelmingly positive. Many people came back to our room multiple times. Here's what one of those people said:
"At the recent Axpona show in Chicago, I had the good fortune to have several sessions in the Volti room with the New Vittora. Even after reading the glowing reports from other shows and the information regarding the improvements made, not to mention the photos of the well crafted new look - I still wasn't fully prepared for the sound in the room. Wow.
In a couple of his recent newsletters, Greg shares his thoughts on hearing other systems at recent shows. With those comments in mind, I felt the need for an occasional return to the Volti room to "cleanse my ears." Once you get dialed in to what the Vittora does, and does so well, compared to other approaches, especially those with six and seven figure price tags, so much of it seems like an unfortunate waste of time and effort. If the opportunity presents itself, do yourself the favor of some time with the New Vittora.
At Axpona, as much fun as it was to listen, it was almost as much fun watching the reaction of others in the room."
Yes indeed, I also got a kick out of watching the reaction to people listening to this system.
As I've said all along, the New Vittora is the finest speaker I've ever heard, and I think a lot of other people might have felt the same way that weekend.
