Axiss Audio VP of Sales and Dealer Relations TJ Goldsby talks about all the gear in the company's Imagination room at AXPONA 2026 in an interview with Ken Micallef that's now posted on our YouTube channel.
Though the Gauder Akustik speakers were dark red and the Accuphase amps were goldish chrome, the super large-scale system in Axiss Audio's Imagination room at AXPONA 2026 played vocalist Alma Naidi's plaintive "Just a Word" with the intimacy, tone, and drama it fully deserved. If a massive system like this one can mine musical details, spatial cues, and intensity with the same impact and presence it lends to louder music, then that's the embodiment of system synergy, at your service.
