Zellaton and ESD horns will also be in my must listen list on Axpona.

I will find out how good they are .
I’ve heard these a few times. I truly feel they can be great like avantgard are there flagship.
I felt it as setup that limited them. in fact the first time I heard them I thought they were broken.
I asked the manager are you going to fix this
he knew and admitted and pointed to a spot of tape on the rug
He said I’m sorry stand here it as way left of center
at that spot while phase in and out was still plenty I did hear parts of big hope.
I think if they can get this adjusted even 80% it will be a show wow to talk about

I go to shows to hear systems and meet a few I do know. I have empathy for rooms it must be very hard to get things right. Having said this when you stop and talk to others and listen to there views. It’s easy to understand why we argue here on what’s best.
this year I will make a good effort to see in person some members here.
I’m a nice man in person ask Elliot lol.

I'm curious if anyone knows if any of the following will be represented at the show...? I couldn't find them listed in the AXPONA link. I know that I probably am sounding pretty darn stupid by asking this, but I wonder if they might be being used in some room systems by other manufacturers and that might be why I couldn't find them being listed?

1. Living Voice Loudspeakers
2. Border Control Amplifiers
3. Aric Audio Amplifiers
4. EMIA Audio
5. Acapella Speakers


Can anyone recommend some great sounding horn loudspeakers for me to check out at the show? I have discovered that the following will be there... but wondering if I might be missing others that might be worth listening to?

1. Aries Cerat
2. Cessaro
3.Avantgarde
4. AER

Really looking forward to this show :)

Best wishes,
Don

WBF meet up on Friday at the main bar in the Renaissance convention center at 5:30 pm!
 
Count me in.
 
First time at an audio show for me, and I'll be there with breaking news on a good resolution to my Baltic 4 tube rolling issues,
 
Some numbers for those curious: 221 actual rooms (including the larger rooms on the 1st floor and Mezzanine level),
and 76 booths (in the expo hall)

The most recent updated directory by floor and room/booth can be found here: (bookmark the link)

Honestly, now, those speakers look like they're ready to take over the world.
