RH’s Best of Show

Best Sound (cost no object)

USA Tube Audio’s demonstration of the new Lumen White speakers driven by Ayon electronics was spectacularly great, with wall-to-wall soundstaging. Close your eyes and you’d never know that you were in a hotel room.

Ayon Audio

Ayon Audio distributor USA Tube Audio presented the world premiere of several new Ayon products; I’ll cover just the amplification.

The system included the Ayon Spheris III preamplifier ($34,500) or alternately, the S-10 Network Streamer/Preamplifier ($8300).

The all-tube components, housed in gorgeous chromed chassis, fed a pair of Ayon Orthos XS Gen 4 mono amps which drove the new 

Lumen White White Light “Anniversary” speakers in one of the show’s best-sounding rooms.
