Bellare Loudspeakers Show Report from Enjoy the Music


Notable honorable mention exhibits at CAF 2025.
Capital Audiofest 2025 Show Report By Rick Becker

Audience (703) is more commonly known as a manufacturer of cables and power conditioners, but here they premiered a floorstanding speaker as a follow-up to their very highly acclaimed monitor, now in its fifth generation. The music was exceptional, but the speaker holds even greater promise if paired with higher-performance components, including tube amplification for which it is eminently suited, with its internally powered bass driver. Its modest size and elegant presentation make it suitable for fine homes.
