I want to thank everyone that attended Axpona 2024. We tried and I think we succeeded with a ton of effort to show some of what my reference system has been doing in Florida at a show. We overcame many of the room problems, not all, and IMO produced and showed what a level 4 WADAX system along with the Gobel Divin Noblesse and the Riviera Electronics is capable of. This was our hope and I personally I believe we did that to a large degree. I want to thank Brandon Lauer who really did a great job getting the system to a level of excellence , its great to work with this very talented person and friend. We look foward to seeing all of you again at Capital Audio Fest this fall when we will be showing and hopefully getting a great result. The team will be back!

A very fine effort, Elliot! Best of show, IME. I've got to get down to Florida to hear the real deal and see if it floats my boat fully.

It would be my pleasure, once I get my gear back and get it reset up!

For the last few years, I have mentioned the Bending Wave Audio room in every report for a good reason: the sound. This year’s system consists of the large Gobel Divine Noblesse Speakers ($250,000), which were driven by the Riviera APL01SE preamp($46,995) and AFM100SE Class A power amplifier($82,800). Digital was presented by the Wadax Atlantis Reference DAC($166,420) and Atlantis Reference Streamer($68,800). The cabling was also from Gobel.

Not only was this system very imposing in the room, but it also presented the music in a sublime effortlessness. Dynamics were not an issue for this system as it had it in spades. The imaging and soundstage were excellent for a hotel room, and the detail was superb.

this is from the sound advocate show report
thank you SA
