Capital AudioFest 2025 is in the books and we had a blast! We met so many great folks and the feedback was positive from everyone. Many told us we had the best sound at the show which is flattering to say the least. Virtually all agreed we were among a small group of the very best sounding rooms. We had great conversations with potential buyers, enthusiasts, dealers and media personalities. We left assured we are on a solid path and more determined than ever to share our craft with those that truly love music.
To say Room 633 was impressive would be an understatement. As a Burmester dealer, we partnered with the iconic German company to show off some of the best hi-fi that money can buy. The 159 mono’s powered our Masterpiece towers and the sound was breathtaking.
The legendary 808 preamp directed traffic from the 111 streamer and the 175 turntable. Burmester’s very best would either show our speakers in all their glorious detail or expose every fatal flaw. The verdict? Drop dead amazing sound that left many claiming it was the best at the show.
These shows are an opportunity to experience something very few can afford to own. but at $65,000/pair, the Masterpiece tower is in reach for many dedicated audiophiles.

Next door to the “big system”, we showed the system the Master Artist Masterpiece Monitor with the optional powered bass modules. This system was a fraction of the cost of room 633, but the sound quality was exceptional.
The 151 streamer connected to the 088 preamp via Kimber Kable “Naked” interconnects. From there, pristine signal flowed to a 218 amplifier where it powered the monitors using Kimber Kable Select speaker cables.
The speakers were striking in their Porsche “Speed Blue” leather and alcantara. Like the tower, the Raal ribbon is used with the Accuton Ceramic midbass and honeycomb woofer.
In between the big systems was a system that captured a lot of attention. Wrapped in Porsche Cedar Green leather was the Master Artist Fresco Signature featuring the RAAL ribbon and Accuton CELL woofers.
The Fresco Signature was driven by the ever-popular Burmester 232 integrated amplifier and it delivers true high-end sound without the second mortgage. The sultry curves of the Fresco work well with the architectural lines of the 232 to create a striking look that makes an impression.
Like all our speakers, the Fresco is completely bespoke. Make it your own individual work of art with your finishes of choice. The Fresco is also available in a standard model with the a significantly lower price.
