Florida (International) Audio Expo 2025

[sleepysurf]

Anybody going to this weekend's show (Feb 21-23) in Tampa?... https://floridaaudioexpo.com/ Looks like there will be lots of great setups, including some new manufacturers, and also high-end car audio.

Although primarily featuring higher priced gear than typically discussed here, they'll also have value oriented setups. I'm looking forward to hearing Lucca Chesky's bookshelf speakers, and the latest offerings from SVS, and Soundfield Audio, among others.

If you're local to the area, please stop by the Suncoast Audiophile Society in the Shelton Room, to find out more about our club. The Central Florida Audiophile Society will also have info there about their group.

Lots of great sounding gear, at all price points. Unfortunately, also some "not so great" sounding at the audiophile extreme!

I was very impressed with (17 year old!) Lucca Chesky and his $1000 LC1 bookshelf speakers, with innovative 3D printed cabinets. I really want to support his creativity, so just ordered a pair for a secondary (bedroom) system. I'm currently using a Fosi BL20A Class D amp there, driving in-ceiling speakers. The LC1's are only 83 dB sensitivity, so I'll probably need more power. Will definitely be a contrast from my primary ML stats, but should be a fun secondary setup.
