Hear a stunning high-end system featuring Peak Consult loudspeakers and Orpheus Lab electronics in the Bluebird Music room 672 at Chicago’s Axpona.
When you combine the most tonally authentic Peak Consult loudspeakers with the resolution, immediacy and transparency of the Orpheus Lab electronics the result is a most natural, beguiling portrayal of an actual musical event. Quite possibly the most realistic musical re-creation you’ll hear at the show – regardless of price. Yes – it’s a big claim. But this is truly special equipment, and with Danish loudspeakers and Swiss electronics we are not afraid to set your expectations high.
We will be playing the Orpheus Lab Absolute Line SACD Player, Preamplifier and Stereo Amplifier, with Peak Consult Sonora loudspeakers, all connected with Kubala-Sosna cables.
Mike Picanza from Peak Consult and Tiago Novo from Orpheus Lab will be on hand to present the finer points of loudspeakers and electronics, and answer any and every question.
Chicago Axpona 2026

Schaumberg Convention Center
Bluebird Music Room 672
This was an elegant system in sight and sound and my ears delighted in its surprising 'where’s the subwoofer' fullrange reach and authority coming from a modestly-sized two-way (albeit one that weighs nearly 150 lbs which tells you something about what's going on inside).
Michael Lavorgna, Twittering Machines, Axpona 2026 Favorite Rooms
The pairing of the Peak Sonora with Orpheus Lab electronics stands out as one of the most exceptional combinations I've ever presented. Its ability to handle both classical and rock with refinement, authority, and genuine musicality surpassed many far larger and more exotic systems. This sentiment was echoed by virtually every visitor to the room.

Jadis JPS3 Phono Stage and JPS2 Preamplifier on Demonstration in Stereo Haven Room 624
Charlie Schnyder, owner of St. Louis area Jadis dealer Stereo Haven, and Mike Pranka of Toffco, were making wonderful music again – as usual, in room 624 at Axpona. The influence of Jadis was evident on this system. When playing Neil Young on vinyl, the sound was authentic, natural and expressive.
