Dear Community,

In light of AXPONA and other audio events that could not happen this year, we decided to produce The AXPONA Buyers Guide. We know show guides are often a keepsake and reference. Our hope is this guide will serve as a placeholder for your audio gear research and purchasing for the coming year.

The Buyers Guide has two sections. First, a directory of audio companies . We hope you will review the listings, visit their websites and consider these companies as you make plans for upgrades or new systems. We also compiled a directory of local audio dealers, as many local audio stores have been and may be closed for many months due to the pandemic. We hope this resource will remind you to stop by and patronize these pillars of the high-end audio community online and in-person as soon as you can.

Be sure to check the AXPONA website throughout the rest of the year. We are publishing product announcements in our Media Center (launching July 1) and are organizing the online Worldwide Audio Fest on June 18 – 19, 2020.

Until we meet again at AXPONA 2021! Be well and enjoy some wonderful music!

Liz and Mark

June 18 - 19, 2020 #worldwideaudiofest Join Us! The ultimate system combo at AXPONA will have to wait until next year.

29 Handmade in Germany

Precision is the top priority in the manufacture of ACCUSTIC ARTS® high-end audio devices, made exclusively by hand in Germany. All components go through extensive input and output tests up to two weeks of tests before our products leave the shop.

In addition to uncompromising quality, ACCUSTIC ARTS® products will always deliver the optimal price-performance ratio. The highest experience potential from sound studio work and sound reinforcement in recording rooms is implemented in the development of all ACCUSTIC ARTS® high-end devices.

To meet this requirement, only the most precise and high-quality components, latest technologies and construction principles are used. Warm sound image is the goal without arti cial showmanship. The high end of ACCUSTIC ARTS® will sound lifelike, rich in detail to deliver the utmost emotional experiences.

ACCUSTIC ARTS® will soon be presenting two new amplifi ers. • MONO power amplifi ers, MONO V • Stereo bridged power amplifi er, AMP V

In the last 12 months ACCUSTIC ARTS® developed completely new electronics including new transformers for our large MONO power ampli ers and the stereo bridge power ampli er.

The power ampli ers still are more powerful and even more musical than their predecessors.

Both have the damping factor linearization known from the AMP II and easily control speakers with 2 ohms or less.
