7th Heaven Unplugged: Where AXPONA 2025's Audio Dreams Soar!
Immersing yourself in the magic of music at a high-end audiophile event.
Audio Expo North America (AXPONA) 2025 Show Report By Rick Becker 

740  Fourier Sound And Buckeye Amplifiers
This room was pretty full when I visited, and since others have covered it already, I'll make just a few observations. As Einstein might have said: "It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience."

I noticed the vertical array of AMT drivers along with the vertically firing woofers. You're going to need a lot of Swiffers of varying configurations to keep these speakers clean unless the cones can shake themselves clean with deep bass. The rack is full of power amps. You're going to need a lot of interconnects and speaker cables. The cables shown here were bundled with Zip ties. Not able to get a good seat, or learn if that was even necessary with this design, I moved on to the next room. Given the company's name, they obviously had Fourier's theory behind this to justify the amount of work it took to build them. I hope they achieve their desired results.

745  Theoretica Applied Physics
Dr. Edgar Choueiri brought the new BACCH-DrC² ultimate desktop immersive audio system to AXPONA 2025. As was typical, he was in deep conversation with another visitor, so I didn't get the inside scoop. The website suggests it creates 3D imagery as well as holographic immersivephile sound quality, but the screen was on pause. The black box under the table was a stereo, single-enclosure subwoofer with a built-in DAC and Class D amplifier.

Dr. Dragoslav Colich (aka "Dr. C"), co-founder and CTO of Sony-owned Audeze planar magnetic headphones, has collaborated with Dr. Choueiri on this state-of-the-art desktop system. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to sit in the sweet spot at Capital Audiofest this fall.

More AXPONA 2025 High-End Audiophile Show Report Coming Soon!
That completes the 7th Floor, which means I'm halfway through the show at this point. In case you're wondering, there were no exhibits on the 8th through 10th floors. In Part 6, on the 6th Floor, the rooms will be on the perimeter of the open atrium that extends down to the 2nd Floor. There's lots more to come! Hope you're enjoying the ride.
