Today I talk about my top three high end audio companies for 2024. These brands all have things in common. They all think outside the box, they are all trying new things and they are all bringing products that offer great value for the money, even if some are pricey.
Enjoy this video about my three favorite HiFi Audio Companies of 2024!
Enjoy!

Noticing Daniel Hertz is already got relegated to the 2nd spot.
Audio group Denmark is definitely pushing the envelope. Everyone who comes across their products love them. Great sound with great prices to match. The forte sounds great.
Totally agree, very pricy stuff but with impressive performance!
Have you heard any of these yourself?
@@globaltune8580 Whom do you mean?
They are really onto something important with their background noise reduction theories. It sounds far fetched when you first hear it, but when you listen to their products, you can immediately hear there is something different here.
This salesman changes hi-fi equipment like socks.
NEVER FIND SATISFIED HIFI GEAR, Only show after show.
Demo Album Track; A 1966 recording of Max Roach - Drums Unlimited. 1st track “The Drum Also Waltzes” on this solo listen for that beautiful rich warmth of Roach’s now vintage sound Gretsch drums with his older well tarnished Zildjian cymbals. An excellent natural dry recording direct to tape without reverb or compression. Perfect dynamics as played by Max’s sensitive feel. Move to track 2 “Nommo” listen for that beautiful swoosh of Max’s brush playing against Matthew’s string bass. A very clean recording. All tracks are worth a listen. Audiophiles who love clean string double bass recording should love the lack of mushy artificial low end. Qobuz has both the stereo and mono pressing. Enjoy
so awesome...I met him ions ago while i was in college. I love these kind of nostalgic moments inspired by great artists, great gear, and great observations!
:54 Yeah, that's why I bought my Yamaha A-S3200 integrated amp, because it's proven analog technology that will hold up with time and can be repaired in the future.
Thank you for your work putting together these informative reviews. I can't wait to hear how the Axxess Forte compares to the Daniel Hertz Maria amplifier!
I bought an Axxess Forte 1 last year. I am loving it.
What kind of speakers are you using? I'm curious if this Forte 1 can handle 4 Ohms or electrostatic....
@@henriksrensen3220Hi Henrik. All I could really compare it to is a Rega Aethos. It has a super tight bass. Neutral but open midrange. Airy and detailed treble. Lovely black background. Soundstage generally beyond the speakers. Nice depth too. It does show off character of any front end system e.g. Turntable. I also love the transparency without it sounding analytical.
Scansonic MB5B'S. They are 4 ohm, but often dip to 2.8 ohms. They are pretty hungry speakers, especially to keep control of the bass. It made a huge difference coming from my Rega Aethos.
@@ryansudding667 Thanks 👍🙂
Hello😁 Does Axxess Forte 1 have that smooth analog sound? ...Thanks!
Wow! You are showing us the cutting-edge of audio equipment. I am looking forward to your review of the Axxess Forte 1. We are hoping its sound is close to the Daniel Hertz Maria, which is outside of our budget. You do a fantastic job! Thank you.
Look at the gato 400s i have him now one week and it is an amazing amp. In the past i am playing wit cello ( M.L ) krell and conrad johnson. But this amp the gato sounds better and much cheaper. They are using the same modules like daniel hertz,aavik and jeff rowland. Mine speakers are the magnepan 1.7i and it sounds great,open,space,fast, clarity and instrumental low NO subwoofer low what is awful.
Ok, the fun is over, now let's go back to the real world to our Klipschs and Yamahas!
I love thin-film (AMT, Planar, ribbon) tweeter speakers.
If I ever upgrade from the GoldenEar BRX, it would be to the Borresen X1.
music source=Apple Music lossless
What are your thoughts on Ribbon and electrostatic speakers? Not sure if I ever caught one of your reviews of them?
Another great review. Just wondering what you think of NAD‘s class D amplifiers?
you keep pushing Daniel Hertz again and again what is the point?
Is Daniel hertz made in china?
What happened to the Buchardt A10's?
Thanks for hard work bringing us these reviews! Looking forward to your Axxess Forte review...
You should hear the RCaudio dwarfs they sound incredible and are active or passive amplification!
I don't buy anything to impress others. Impessing others who visit their home seems to be a common American thing.
Possessions are not a salve for a fragile ego.
Great info. Thank you!
what about Japan ?
We gotta have a talk..lol
Would you choose the Forte over the Luxman L-590AXII? I'm in the market for a 6K amp.
Yes, because he said earlier that the best integrated amp he ever tried is the Aavik u150. And the Axxess should be even better
Don’t believe a word, it changes every week, I’ve never seen so much gear go through one guys hands. He’s all over the place.
Axxess Forté 1 - All-in-One Player over the Luxman L-590AXII? Luxman is pure analog amp, MSRP: $9.495. I own Luxman L550AX (Class A), great sounding with Quad ESL-63, better than one of the Hegel amp and the others.
Buy a used Gryphon Diablo 120
Being a promoter of whatever the latest thing that strikes your fancy is fine. Just quit calling yourself a reviewer.
all reviewers are de facto promoters of the products they like
@@vladdg4082 so does that make us, when we enumerate the things we like, make us de facto reviewers ? LOL
Totally agree with you
You are so right!!!
Not the gato 400s :(
How would the Forte 1 suit the Focal 948? Also, I have a very diverse taste in music including heavy heavy metal.... Thrash.
LOL, regardless what the brand is, how does that matter, do you want to tell they only do the best available products in the whole catalog, LOL, No Brand has ever done that in this Brand rich market. Products? Combinations of Products that work together well that is what makes more sense, but Brand Names? LOL.
Audio Group Denmark are leaders in development
Hi, have you heard the Gershman studio xdb speaker they are ranked very high!
I know the maker (as he is in Toronto where I live) and though I have not heard that particular speaker, I have heard his earlier models and they were excellent. Gershman has dealers and does shows; go listen
Dynaudio. Sim audio audio research. Yamamura cables
Thanks for sharing
The Axxess Forté 1 looks interesting but can't find much about power or current. It says "2 x 100 W in 8 Ohm" but what if you have 4 Ohm speakers? Maggies?
Measurement from a review …Continuous power 8 OHm/90w 4 Ohm/123w
ONKYO ✊
And I thought the bespoke best headphone system today the Sennheiser HE1 inclusive of the headphone, pre-amp and amp at usd 60k was expensive, tsk.
5500$ is nothing for this guy , he must be part of upwards wealth transfer group!
Which way is the wind blowing today? Your videos are great!
Daniel Hertz =Mark Levinson
next up: Stephen Ohm
The Legend Reborn!
Such hackneyed cliches.
Fleetwood is entry, but the only niggle is the price. Got it. LOL.
It seems every week there is a new favourite amp or product, I can’t believe one can truly judge so many products in such a short time. I did pull the trigger on your recommendation of the Luxman L590 AXII a while back. Love Love It…
That perfect piece of gear is never leaving my rack. 🤓
absolutely and all Entry-Fi and Mid-Fi gear with of course a fiew exceptions.
Sounds like that’s coming from a McIntosh fan boy.
My personal faves are always here long term. I have three rooms full of gear. Including luxman, klipsch, Yamaha, pass labs, and all kinds of gear. I do reviews and only review what I enjoy or would buy/own. If I speak highly of something it means I love it. There is tons of gear to love and tons to hate. The junk, I don’t talk about. Rather I send it back with a “no thanks”. I have enough gear here now to build four full systems. I enjoy it all. Sometimes I rotate out and back in. So not sure what the complaint is. Just because I review all kinds of gear and enjoy what I review? I have faves from many manufactures. I still have a 590axii! Enjoy the Yamaha 3200 more though. I have and keep tons of audio gear due to the fact that I do reviews. If I didn’t, I’d sell most of it and keep one system and that would be it :) I get new gear in weekly, so lucky me. I get to have tons of fun.
Love your review. ❤ honest and personal. You are not forcing anyone to buy anything. I love that. I am engineer myself so it is tough to pay above 10k for any speakers. Except they weight 80 pounds and have builtin amplifier with dsp. 😅😅😅. Why?
Great review! Need to look into Axxess. Have you seen or heard of Orchard Audio? They make amps using GaN FET Class D and mono blocks as well. Very intriguing. Made USA (NJ).
You're right about these being great companies , but it's also true that you have to take out a mortgage to buy some of their products. There are no gifts.
Hmm for 2024 ? The year is only in it’s first month?
