Music Professor Michael Bump's special Best Of AXPONA 2025 Blue Note Awards
AXPONA 2025 High-End Audio Show Report By Dr. Michael Bump

Club Lounge   Magico, Wadax, Dan D'Agostino MAS, Telos Audio, And Antipodes
It was an audiophile pilgrimage. Something all this year's attendees had to see and hear for themselves. The Magico M9 made its appearance at AXPONA 2025 high-end audio show, postured like a centerpiece in the Museum of Modern Art, located in the Club Lounge on the 15th floor. At one thousand pounds per speaker, the M9s stood as mighty pylons before the gates of audio nirvana. The Magicos were driven by a flank of two D'Agostino Relentless Epic 1600 monos, and two D'Agostino Relentless 800 monos, and navigated via an amalgam of Wadax and Antipodes digital source instruments.

Clearly, Enjoy the Musc.com knows this utopic reference system falls in the "If you have to ask..." category, the thrill of ownership left to an elite few. The pieces are indeed ultra-audio and incredibly expensive. Ultimately, however, it is about the music, which was presented holographically on a stage so lifelike, that one could practically touch the shoulder of the concertmaster.

With grateful appreciation to Magico Founder / CEO, Alon Wolf, Vice President of Global Sales / Marketing, Peter Mackay, and the many others who made this opportunity possible, for what may have been for many attendees their only window to enjoy the beauty of recorded musical sound as generated by this incredible gathering of audio instruments. Another wonderful Best Of AXPONA 2025 Blue Note Award recipient.
