Stereophile: "I always dig Hans Looman's Infigo amplifiers; Hans always plays cool and unusual music, and his amps are small beasts of potent power, snap-crackling dynamics, and surprisingly large, super-scaled soundstages."
"Looman's electronics produce a concert hall stage presentation, simply a huge soundstage with popping dynamics, rich sonics, and supple textures. A continual treat-and-feast."

Enjoy The Music: "Bass performance in this fairly small room, which was set up and calibrated by J.R. Boisclair of WAM Engineering, was beyond belief!"
"...I was more than merely impressed by the resultant bass power, impact, and slam, all with no bloat, overshoot, or boundary issues. Wow."

Sound & Vision: "O-Zone Percussion Group’s Jazz Variants cemented the dynamic capabilities of this singular system and left my jaw on the floor. Applause!"

EnjoyTheMusic Award Best of PAF 2022

Enjoy The Music: "This system immediately grabbed my attention with its very nice texture, rich, dense tonal color, and harmonic bloom, especially with the way it presented the guitar, and its remarkably SOLID low-frequency extension. The nuanced capabilities revealed with microdynamic expressiveness were exemplary, as was the sense of effortlessness and extension of the uppermost frequencies."

Stereophile: "On a DSD track from the Global Percussion Network, timbres were beautiful on bass and high-pitched percussion. The chimes and vibes sounded special and clean, colors were plentiful, and deep bass was all-of-one-piece. "
"All and all, it's very, very intriguing. I look forward to hearing more, and soon."

Our room received a lot of positive feedback via Instagram this show.

AVShowrooms Gold Show Best Sound Award

AudioKeyReviews.com: "I was very impressed by the sound of the system which incorporated the Infigo Audio Method 3 Monoblock amplifiers and Method 4 DAC, as allied to the Alta Audio Adam speakers. The system was incredibly natural, musical, and your components beautifully designed. FYI. The room will be one of our choices for Best of Show."

Emotiva Lounge: "The same model Alta Adam speakers were in a room on the same floor that was the right way to demo them. The amps in this room are absolutely brand new on the market and are really fabulous!!! They are Infigo Audio amplifiers."

AVShowrooms: "Infigo Audio featured the Model 3 Monoblocks, with the Model 4 DAC. The Alta Audio Adam speakers again stole the show with tremendous bass and holographic imaging. We played Leonard Cohen’s, By the Rivers Dark and the staging was concert level, with you are there sonics."

EnjoyTheMusic Award Best of FLAX 2022

Enjoy The Music: "Most important new (well, almost new) electronics introduction: infigo Audio's stunning Method 3 Class A power amps and matching Method 4 DAC / preamp. Stunning sound, with breathtaking transient attack, lingering decays, and stellar dynamics. This room offered everything. The stellar Block electronics came in just behind the infigo products, offering to my ears, just a little bit less transient fidelity and speed."

Sound Stage Global: "Infigo Audio is a new company from British Columbia, Canada. The word infigo is Latin for impressive. There’s some interesting history here; in fact, this may be the most interesting manufacturer and product story of this show."

HomeTheaterHifi.com: "All the electronics were encased with striking silver CNC machined aluminum casework with clear acrylic tops to fully appreciate the electronic eye-candy within."

AVShowrooms: "We played Leonard Cohen’s “Boogie Street” and the sound was magical. The vocals emanated from the most quiet background this listener has ever heard. That is the magic of the system, a startling low noise backdrop that enables the music and ambient information between the notes to literally pop out at you. An extraordinary achievement from Infigo Audio!"

CAF 2021 Infigo Room 321

Capital Audiofest 2021

Washington DC, November 5 - 7

DAC: Method 4
Amps: Method 3
Cables: All throughout Sparkle Series Audio Cables USB, Signature XLR, bi-wire Speaker Cable, Power Cables.
Speakers: Alta Audio Alec

Stereophile: "The DAC’s beautiful, thick-walled aluminum case and see-through top plate were stunning in the room’s atmospheric lighting."
"I quickly fell under the spell of Looman, Oldfield, and these attractive Infigo devices."

Parttime Audiophile: "Occasionally I say dumb things a few times a day. When we entered the room no music was playing, I took a seat and began the bass notes of whatever track was selected. “Good googly moogly!” was belted from my mouth. Not something I normally say, but I’m sure something I’ve absorbed over the years from reading about the Apollo Space missions."
"Quite impressive, and I hope to see more of what Infigo Audio can do."

Enjoy The Music: "The room just sounded right, from top to bottom; and I went back over and over again to release the fatigue of covering a big show like this. I am working on arranging a review of the electronics, and hope I can solidify that to share these special new electronics with you."

AV Showrooms: "Beautiful, just beautiful. The dynamics are off the charts here"
