Playback Distribution: Amphion, Esoteric, Quadraspire, And More!
Purity of sound that's clean and beautiful… like Finland.
Florida International Audio Expo 2024 Show Report By Steven R. Rochlin

  The great folks at Playback Distribution were at the Florida International Audio Expo 2024 showcasing a wide variety of brands they offer. Taking a peek at their website, they say, "Our mission is to enrich the lives of entertainment enthusiasts by providing them with unparalleled access to state-of-the-art playback systems. We are dedicated to elevating the way customers experience their favorite content." That's indeed something we can all agree upon.

As I kept reading, they talk about passion and taking joy in the very finest playback solutions available. Once again something we can all aspire to. It was also wonderful to see Founder and CEO Anssi Hyvönen at the Tampa show. I've known Anssi for decades while reporting on the shows in Germany. Great gentleman and always smiling when music fills the room.

Here's a gear list:

Amphion Kryton3X Loudspeakers - $23,999 a pair as shown (White/Black).

Esoteric F-02 Integrated Amplifier - $18,000

Esoteric N-05XD Network Player/DAC - $11,000

Quadraspire SVT Audio Rack - $550 per tier, $2200 as shown

Esprit Celesta 3m Speaker Cables - $1,899

Esprit Celesta 0.6m XLR Interconnects - $999

Esprit Volta Power Strip - $999

Esprit 1.5m Celesta Power Cables - $549 each

Have heard many different Amphion loudspeakers over the years and have always been impressed. It is a very high compliment that I feel they sound like where they and designed, engineered, and built, and that being the fabulous county of Finland. Home of such greats as F1 driver Mika Häkkinen and my favorite F1 driver Kimi Räikkönen.

Fast, precise, clean, and lovely. That, my friends, describes both Finland and the sound of Anssi's Amphion loudspeakers. If you're seeking a very accurate sound, and remember to feed it with high-performance amplification like that from Esoteric (a legendary brand I can't say enough great things about) you'll be happily rewarded. Give Playback Distribution a call / email and find out the possibilities of upgrading your home audio sound system. As always, enjoy the music.
