Guangzhou HiFi Show 2009

It is always nice and fruitful to pay a visit to our friends in far east and like last year we had an appointment to the Guangzhou exhibition. The show has been very big with lot of show rooms and plenty of goods. I think that more than 5 floor of the hotel were full of people loving HiFi.
I have to tell you what happened:
Mr. Miura San, Managing Director of Air Tight Japan, came to our boot and was so pleased by the sound of our speakers in our room that he asked to test them on his system in his room. We brought them to Air Tight's room and connected them to the ATM-2001S driven by the ATE-2001. He enjoyed and we did as well. It was only a pity that the room had a terrible acoustics for the basses...
The second amazing event was when During a walk trough the exposition, I've heard the italian song "Bella Ciao" performed by an enchanting female voice playing in a corner on a 250W Mark Levinson power amplifier.

High End Audio Video Show, Athens 2009

Sometimes business trips are not only business trips. Athens was one of those.
In Room 336, Stelios presented the winning Fun 17 paired to a DPS from Willy Bauer, ZYX cartridge and pre phono stage, Mactone power amplifier. Gorgeous sound, nice people and enjoyable food: this was Greece for us.

Top Audio, Milano 2009

This year the Top Audio has been a real success, we had a lot of time to look around :-)
Vexo: Giampaolo and Carlo used our Genuin FS 3 and presented their new preamplifier and a 2A3 Amplifier
Mastersound: Lorenzo used our big Fun 20 with his 845 Evolution
Sutra: Boris and Stefano played on a Fun 17 with their Digital power amplifier
Grandinote: Max showed his Prestigio on a big Fun 20 and on a Satellite Mini
I think this demonstrates that our speakers are really versatile :-)

Review of the big Fun 20 by Srajan Eban of 6moons

After an unexpected meeting in China, we fixed an appointment with Srajan Eban of 6moons.
As usual in the last minutes, but right on time we reached Chardonne in Switzerland. Nice situated on the Geneva Lake.

He decided to test the big Fun 20 because:
- the Genuin FS 3 had been already tested in some papers
- the Fun 17 was not jet burned in

The report has not been positive, and this is luck for the company: we were not yet ready for the international market and its demands, this would have taken us to bigger problems!!!
Furthermore the points Srajan focused on have been really good suggestions to improve our products and grow a lot in quality!

Here you can read the report.

I must say something: if you are disappointed reading it, remember, we did our homework and improved and corrected the flaws Srajan appointed. Come and listen yourself!!
- we improved the crossover changing one component that eliminated the echo Srajan was talking about (yes there was an echo and yes this was entirely our mistake)
- we improved the internal wiring
- we had to slightly change the compression chamber of the mid high driver due to a sub-supplier shortage: this lead to an unexpected improvement
- we changed the supplier of certain Caps

After these changes
Stereo, a leading german magazine has chosen the big Fun 20 to become reference speaker. All the customers received the improved version of the big Fun 20.

Listening Session: Vexo, Italy

Giampaolo and Carlo of Vexo brought us the top of their power amplifiers, the 300B and the 2A3.

They are real sound machines and the 2A3 plays like a charm. Take a closer look at these “toys” for playing music, it is worth.
