Saturday at AXPONA 2025 was a frustrating day in general. Attendance seemed off the charts, much stronger than on Friday, and it wasn’t too long before the hotel elevators started to buckle under the pressure. It took forever to get anywhere, and I soon felt like I running behind schedule and i had so much to do and by lunchtime I was feeling rather discouraged.

I always visit the Innuos room at high-end audio shows for at least a couple of reasons. First, they offer some of my favorite digital products in the market, and I’ve found that they’re super easy to use–at least for someone who struggles with the digital audio learning curve such as me. Second, I love the people at the company such as Amelia Santos and Nuno Vitorino, who run the company in Faro, Portugal.

Ever since I reviewed an entire Audio Note UK system for pt.AUDIO a couple of years ago, I’ve been trying to figure out Round Two from this legendary UK marque.

I like big bass and I cannot lie–rooms 1442 and 1444 had the bassiest rooms I heard at AXPONA 2025. In 1444, SVS had the new PB-5000 R|Evolution series playing movie tracks at absurd levels. The room also included the SVS speaker line, with floorstanding, bookshelf and even Atmos speakers showing off their home theater capabilities. Room 1442 had the sealed SB-5000 R|Evolution playing music paired with the SVS floorstanding and bookshelf speakers.

I might be starting off my coverage of AXPONA 2025 backwards–the Gestalt Audio room was the very last room I visited before I had to catch my flight back home. In fact, I almost didn’t get a chance to meet importer and distributor Colin King at all. I was on a ruthless schedule the last day of the show and I needed to visit about ten rooms in less than two hours. First up, right when the show started at 10am, I went straight to the Gestalt Audio room.
