Capital Audio Fest 2025 brought together some of the most ambitious audio systems in the world—six-figure loudspeakers, handcrafted turntables, and more than 120 demo rooms filled with passionate listeners. In the middle of all that, our Totem Thunderbird & Chord Electronics system delivered something special… and we’re thrilled to share that it was named Best in Show! As highlighted in eCoustics’ show coverage written by Brian Mitchell, our room’s compact floorstanders and Chord front end didn’t just impress—they pulled people into the performance. Deep, textured bass, expansive imaging, and a wide sweet spot made it one of the most musically engaging setups of the weekend. ✨ See why we took home Best in Show in the full article below👇 https://lnkd.in/g7pi_vce #BestInShow #CapitalAudioFest #eCoustics #Gramophone #HighEndAudio #AudiophileCommunity #TotemAcoustic #ChordElectronics
