Show co-creator Lou Hinkley proudly stood alongside his new Daedalus Audio Apollo11 v.3 loudspeaker (starting at $27,500/pair). Variously depicted as “a whole new version” (in the room sheet) and “pretty complete makeover” (by Hinkley at the show) of the Apollo, the 52″-tall speaker boasts a larger midrange and an entirely new array design. “The lower three woofers function more like a point source, and the additional tweeter delivers more stage height and width,” Hinkley said.
Asked why, if the speaker was so different from early versions, he had not renamed it, designer Hinkley replied,” I’m a real American. I’m never gonna junkpile the Apollo 11!”
