Audionec, Open Baffle speakers featuring the unique and high-performance “Duopole 313510” wideband driver. To this day, I still have not heard these speakers, but I am intrigued! According to Luuk, they sounded very airy and transparent.
From the Audionec website:
“The DuoPole 31 is historically the original driver of AudioNec EVO loudspeakers that were first presented at the High-End show in Munich in 2019. This wideband driver covers frequencies from 400 Hz to 10 kHz, and is capable of reproducing all instruments with a realistic scale.”

Genuin Audio. As Luuk noted, these speakers really did indeed sound very genuine: a beautiful sound in a medium-sized room.
As Luuk mentioned, with a combination of warmth and transparency, Kroma Atelier always sounds delicious, and the Orpheus electronics seem like a good match. (HiFiDeluxe)

FM Acoustics from Switzerland, as always in a large room, and, as I recall from earlier editions, presented with distinguished flair. After two days of the busy show, this room always manages to calm me down again.
