MACO Audio

Experience the much-talked-about MACARIA by MACO® open-baffle loudspeaker made in Canada, at CAPITAL AUDIOFEST (CAF) 2024, taking place at the Hilton Rockville, Maryland, from November 8-10, 2024.

You can find MACO® in two rooms on the 6th floor:

The MACARIAS have garnered significant recognition for their exceptional design and immersive sound quality, following their standout unveiling at CAF 2023, where they first captured the attention of the audiophile community. With only a static display showcasing the prototype, yet-to-be-released MACARIAS one year ago, returning to CAF this year with two full-demonstration rooms marks a pivotal moment for MACO®, bringing the journey full circle.

Since CAF 2023, the MACARIAS officially launched at AXPONA 2024 this past April, and have sold and been delivered to customers in North America and worldwide, solidifying their place in the audiophile market. MACO® maintains a direct-to-consumer model, while also working to establish Listening Rooms with MACO® Ambassadors across the continental USA, to provide additional opportunities for people to experience the MACARIAS firsthand outside of audio shows.

About the MACARIAS

The MACARIAS represent not just the highest quality, but also a refined listening experience intended for those who recognize and seek distinction in both sound and design. With their open-baffle architecture, the MACARIAS produce a deep, wide, and precise soundstage. Crafted in Canada from premium materials such as stone (granite and quartz), thermal-treated wood (walnut, maple and ash), as well as birch ply, and using top-of-the-line components, the MACARIAS offer aesthetic and sonic versatility along with uncompromising performance.

Volti Audio

I’ll be officially introducing the new Volti Audio Lucera speaker at this show. You’ll find them in two rooms – The Volti room 741 and the Belleson/Linear Tube Audio/Anticables room 655.
There will also be a static display in the lobby of the hotel featuring a pair of the new Volti Audio Vittora speakers. This will be the first time anyone has seen the redesign of our flagship speaker, and I expect it will create quite a buzz at the show.
Should be Fun!

Special pricing for Lucera speakers will be available at the show, where I will have several pairs for sale.
I may also honor the special pricing before and after the show, but you’ll have to send me an email or call me to find out!
If you’re considering purchasing Lucera speakers, now is an opportune time.


Table, Rack, Stand? The ones that I design and build are more like tables or pieces of furniture rather than a stereo system rack.
Not only do they look nicer than most stereo racks but they keep the gear down low and out of the area between the midrange of the speakers. This helps with stereo imaging.
I recently built a new table to bring to the shows. It’s a more modern design than the ones I’ve built in the past. Veneered in Stump Walnut.
Do you remember the Khorns I restored in 2023? I don’t remember if I ever shared that with you. I must have. They are veneered in the same Stump Walnut. A more perfect veneer choice for Khorns there has never been.
Check them out here

I’m selling the table I’ve been using for the past couple of years. It’s built with 2″ thick Baltic Birch plywood and finished with a beautiful Bubinga veneer and clear lacquer finish. There’s a 59″ long main table and three individual plinths that fit under or wherever you want to put them. It’s in remarkably good condition.
Half price be ok with you? It works for me. $1,000 if you pick it up here or at the Capital Audiofest. $1,500 plus shipping if I have to pack it up for shipping.







Thank you for your support, and as always,Trust your ears, and

EarMicro

Hi there!

Capital Audio Fest is coming up quickly – we here at EarMicro heard that you were attending and wanted to reach out. We wanted to invite you to swing by our booth (H10), to talk about our T10 Bespoke – the world’s smallest in-ears.

Over the last 10 years, we’ve been designing the T10 to make them the smallest, lightest, and best-built true wireless in-ears on the market. With the onboard processors enabling advanced touch, voice, motion, and gesture control, they’re more in-ear computers than simple earbuds.

More than that, we’ve focused on making something sustainable and repairable – every part, including the circuitry and batteries, can be replaced – and durability is at the core of the T10’s design. Each part was a deliberate choice to marry high-end audio with quality build, customizable luxury, and long-term sustainability.
