If I had a friend who wanted something REALLY good and had $10K to spend in all, this would be at or near the top of my list. ;) Best, BH
The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023!
Good Morning Fellow Audiophiles!
I just spent two "action packed days" at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023.
I heard a number of very find sounding systems, including amazing musical reproduction from such well known names as Borresen, Acora, and Kharma. Also in the "price no object" category, the Cessaro Wagners were absolutely stunning, and earned my "Best of Show Award".
However, while I truly enjoyed all of the great sound, THE HIGHLIGHT of the show for me was a name you probably DON'T know, designed by a very nice young man who I think just might have a very bright future
The product was the Endow Audio Bravura 7.2, and at $6,900 it offered a glimpse of what I heard with the $65K Cessaros at 10% of the price. What's more it did so while driven by very modest electronics from Black ice. I'm not an engineer, but the unique design, with 9 x 1.5" midrange drivers arranged in an arc at the rear of the 3D printed horn sitting atop the otherwise conventional appearing bookshelf cabinet conferred an amazing immediacy, truth and penetration of timbre and tonal color, and nothing short of stunning image solidity and soundstage size.
The company offers a 30 day in home trial risk free. t took photos and will also try to post them.

@bouncehit , I heard the Endow Audio speakers at the Tampa Audio Show in February and thought they sounded extremely good. I think they had the big ones playing though. They sounded so good that I did think hard about the smaller ones, but it would have involved me switching out my amp to accommodate them. They are definitely on my list of speakers to consider trying. |
