Austria’s Living Sound — worldwide distribution manager for the Ayon and Lumen White brands — set up a delightful system featuring products they distribute throughout Germany. The newly introduced Lumen White Silver Flame speakers (24.990 per pair) sounded smooth and inviting as driven by Ayon’s Reference 52B mono amplifiers (25.000 per pair) and Volcano preamp (price to be announced). The system was fed by either a Vyger Baltic M turntable (4990 with SME 312 tonearm) or a digital combination comprising North Star’s CD-T 24/192 transport and Extremo 24/192 digital-to-analog converter (4990 for the pair). Jeff Fritz listens intently as the system made the show’s hustle and bustle seem miles away.
