SouthWest Audio Fest 2026
Dallas, TX · July 23 - 25 · Austin Ballroom 3 with Altec Lansing
“Installed in one of the largest rooms at the show and driven by Infigo Audio's superb electronics, the system finally had the breathing room it deserved. The difference was immediately apparent.”

“The Infigo and Altec Ribbonacci room became one of the show's more talked-about demonstrations, drawing visitors back for repeat listening sessions and generating enthusiastic discussion long after people had left the room.”
“The very large Austin 3 ballroom proved to be both a visually and audibly superior room.”
“Infigo electronics provided amazing musical sound through these novel 3-way panel speakers with dipole / bipole design coupled with four unique flat panel DSP-controlled subwoofers.”
“The sound was plush, lush, cozy, and cushy—but it was also well-focused.”

“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.

“...I hoofed it down to the Infigo Audio room, where British Columbian Infigo Audio manufacturer Hans Looman drove The Adams to achieve excellent clarity and dynamics...”
“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.”

Florida Audio Expo 2022
Tampa FL · February 18 - 20
“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.”
“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.”

“All the electronics were encased with striking silver CNC machined aluminum casework with clear acrylic tops to fully appreciate the electronic eye-candy within.”
“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!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Beautiful, just beautiful. The dynamics are off the charts here”
