During Axpona 2019 the cables in the Legacy Audio room were Douglas Connection! We hope to continue to be the cables Legacy turns to for all their future shows. Photo courtesy Part-Time Audophile.
What a great company to be associated with, and also great coverage of the Legacy room and your cables in that article!
Everyone from Legacy who I interacted with was extremely friendly and helpful. I started asking about their Studio HD speaker which wasn't playing at the time, and the gentleman running the room immediately offered to give me a demonstration of them. Within 5 minutes, they were rearranging the seats and setting up the second system that had them so I could hear them. Very cool! They had a huge presence and somehow managed to fill that large and acoustically difficult ballroom space with crystal clear sound. I was pretty impressed at how well they were doing in this very less than ideal space, can only imagine their performance in a smaller room.
I actually mentioned your cables to them before I saw the big banner and reusable bags that they were giving out. Their setups all sounded very nice.
"Electronic music is human sound adapting to indulge technology, and for some, it feels like the signature sound of energy. New and abstract sounds over hypnotic rhythms can conjure vast soundscapes for escape, pleasure, and transcendence."

That SVS demo was so much fun. Their room had an infectious positive energy!

"One of the first rooms I visited – and one of the most memorable. Wonderfully snappy, well-controlled, and very impactful. In addition, a full-bodied and properly toned sound. There was plenty of textural cues and dynamic heft from these Rosso Fiorentino Fiesole loudspeakers. Especially for the 6.5″ Nomex woofer and 1″ silk dome tweeter. A very resolving and engaging presentation."

"Rosso Fiorentino Fiesole speakers. ($7.5k) As can be seen in the photo of the Lumin U1, Johnny Cash's Ghost Riders of the Sky was playing when I snapped these photos. A punchy sound, with nice presence on vocals. Not overly polite sounding."
@Hermitism, Someone other than me used the word "polite" as a way to describe sound. So you see, it's a thing!

I'm planning on writing two Axpona 2019 articles. My "Top 3 dream rooms" (exorbitantly priced) and my "Top 3 reality rooms" (priced within reason).

You can actually see me ordering on Ama..n on my phone lol!
Cool show report. However, he though HSU Research had large speakers? I wonder if he was mixing them up with JTR Speakers?
