Axpona 2024
Some good pics here.

Always wanted to go to one of these Yank shows. They always seem to have lots of large rooms with the big banger speakers that I like, whereas with ours there's just a couple of spaces like that and the rest are crammed into those tiny rooms.
Never been any on the times I've been over there though.

nice , seen the bel canto black pics from the show but nothing else
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

As usual a lot of over the top turntables, and horn loudspeakers that look positively lavatorial.
But amongst the absurd there were some systems and equipment that don't require you to be a billionaire to afford them.
That said, I would have loved to have heard the $4,000,000 system, just to make sure it really was 100 times better than a $40,000 system!
Thanks for sharing.

I don't know which one was the $4 million system? They all looked a bit spendy to me.

Krell still looks like Krell. 75 thousand USD.
'Hello my good man, I'd like a pair of your biggest amplifiers please....no, those are too big.

It gets a lot of indifferent reviews from attendees. Apparently the larger horns are made of plastic, but they have $1,000,000 worth of lacquered finish on them - so that's alright then.
