Hi Matt!

This is indeed the newest speaker of Graham Audio but unfortunately not available in time for the show.

As Fredrik mentioned likely the same with Klangedang Version 6?

Marco’s Klångedang T1 speakers have now been upgraded to version 6.

Now we just need to install the rest of the system!

Tomorrow at 12 and 14, I'm holding my new 'Focus your listening to the fifth level ' lecture and we'll be playing on an Akurate LP12 with Krystal, my new MC phono stage Entity, several combinations of amplifiers and Klångedang T1 version 6.

In room 26 at X-Fi Premium Audio Show in Veldhoven, the Netherlands.

I wish you all a lot of success and I hope someone is recording your lecture - would like to hear it.
All the best for the market introduction of Entity.

Sunday at X-Fi

Post by matthias »

My wife and I arrived at around 12:30h at X-Fi and we went straight to room 26.
There was a hearty welcome by Marco and Fredrik and it was such a pleasure for us to meet you both in person for the first time.

The new Graham floorstanders were playing and it sounded really good, I had no clue that the Boazu was the amp in charge.

Then at 14h Fredrik started with his lecture, the room filled to capacity.......

Step by step he went up the hierarchy ladder until getting to the core of the music on level five. I must say it was by far the best introduction to a listening session of any audio shows I attended in the past.
BTW, I hope that Fredrik will publish this lecture on his HP or on the forum.

Then he demonstrated in a perfect way what listening to music is all about.

The speakers were Klangedang V6, amps first the Monos, then the Stereos with the Accurate LP12 as frontend in a classical A-A-B demo.

This was not a spectacular "sounding" system.
I had the impression it was a set-up which removed the slightest obstacle for the music to come trough, the music was free flowing and it seems to be easy to comprehend the mood of the piece or the musicians.
The Klangedangs sounded like a good single driver speaker, a perfect match for the Lejonklous.

We stayed far too long in the Hexagon room, but I came to X-Fi to listen in the rooms of two exhibitors mainly, so all was well.

It was a very pleasant experience and we hope that Fredrik and Marco will be back at X-Fi next year.

Thank you Fredrik and Marco.

Dear Matt and Claudia,

We were mutually very happy to see you too - it's always such a pleasure to meet up in person with forum members!

I agree it's a great inspirational lecture to distinguish between different levels of listening and to identify what keeps us away from a true connection to our music and a more meaningful listening experience.

We had such a great response thoughout the whole weekend that we will be very happy to return next year at the X-Fi 2020.

Thanks for visiting us and we look forward to the next venue!

Marco & Fredrik

Thank you so much for coming and for your kind words, Matthias and Claudia!

I'm so happy to hear you liked the lecture. I will for sure hold it again and will look into the possibility of someone recording it. I really enjoyed the strong reactions, they covered the whole spectrum from people protesting when I declared that synergy between components is not the number one challenge with HiFi (stuck at level 2), or that the room was the major problem (stuck at level 1), to those who came up afterwards to shake hands and say 'Thank you!'

Hope to see you both soon again!

Very cool. Glad to hear the show went well and to see the photos. Especially as I haven't seen the new Fredrik with facial hair before. Looking good, guys!

Thanks Thomas, Sopper, Sunbeamgls and Charlie for your comments!

I think I can speak for both of us by saying that the 'men with beards' look back on a great show!

Thanks Marco for the great photos and your kind words too.
A pity that they did not post some listening impressions.
Linette Smith from hifipig was in the room when we visited.

Thanks Matt - it has been so busy thoughout the weekend we only had time to take some snapshots, glad you liked them.

A listening impression would have been very nice although I am already very happy that Hifipig took the effort to write and explain about Fredrik's design philosophy in developing his range of amplifiers.
Something that rarely gets any press attention - as there are often just so many words one is allowed to spend on reports like these.
I find it especially promising as Lejonklou was totally new to the reporter and the article ends with the brand being followed with great interest.
Clearly we have made an impression here and I'll certainly follow this up.

Hi Fredrik,
would you like to share more information on your lecture: 'Focus your listening to the fifth level‘ if possible?
