the sole reason for my attending AXPONA was to see and hear the Ultra 11's and hang out with Damon, Leif and the faithful VSA "groupies".  Boy, was I not disappointed!!!  VSA proved yet again they are on the cutting edge of speaker design!  This time, the mainstream audiophile media agrees across the board, the Ultra 11's, VAC's, Kronos, Ultra cables, Tube traps etc., system, were Best in Show!  If you can get this much resolution, depth, dynamics in a hotel suite, just imagine how'd they perform in a dedicated room, at home!  I wish Munich were 6 hours closer to me!  Love you guys!

so much enjoyed finally meeting you G!  What a terrific and supportive partner in life you have too!  Was a great event... As VSA used to say "a listening experience not soon forgotten" remains true today!  Took me a few days to retune my ear/brain barrier after AXPONA!!!  My 55's are singing again!

I  went mainly to hear the VSA room and to meet with folks I had only communicated with online. The room was terrific but hanging with my VSA buds in person was something that I will treasure for years to come. I also am able to report that I am thoroughly enjoying my 55's in my room, with the added perspective of hearing many systems at the show with equipment that I have been interested in over the years from the magazines. Thanks for all who took the time to come to the show and the VSA team for all their hard work, creativity and passion for music.
