Musical Artisans Announces Annual Fall Event Featuring Five Major Product Premieres

Saturday, December 13th | 6:30–9:30 P.M. | Skokie, Illinois

Musical Artisans is pleased to announce its annual Fall Event, taking place on Saturday, December 13th, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. The evening will feature five significant product introductions and presentations from three distinguished guests: Robert Auer of Auer Acoustics, Timo Engström of Engström Audio, and Vassil Strachnikov of Taiko Audio. Food and beverages will be served. Due to limited space, guests are asked to RSVP to [email protected].

This year’s event will highlight a curated selection of ultra–high-end audio components, including Argento Audio cables, Auer Acoustics loudspeakers, Engström’s flagship preamplifier and monoblock power amplifiers, the latest digital components from Metronome Technologie, and state-of-the-art music servers from Taiko Audio.

Argento Audio will debut the new Flow Ultima signal and power cables, recipients of The Absolute Sound’s prestigious Product of the Year Award. These superb signal and power cables hold two world patents for their innovative connector-less architecture, in which the end of each conductor serves as its own termination. Each cable is fully carbon-shielded, built entirely in-house—including zirconium-ceramic fasteners—and employs only a single metallic element: ultra–high-purity (6N) silver.

Auer Acoustics will demonstrate their Versura V2 and V4 loudspeakers, featuring the brand’s distinctive Tankwood cabinetry. This stabilized natural material offers exceptional resonance behavior and structural integrity, forming the foundation of Auer’s design philosophy. The Versura line combines Bliesma’s reference diamond tweeter with select ScanSpeak transducers, supported by precision crossover networks built with extremely tight tolerances. The result is a loudspeaker architecture focused on tonal purity, dynamic poise, and natural musical flow.

Taiko Audio will showcase their acclaimed Extreme Music Server alongside their new flagship, the Olympus Music Server, equipped with the highly praised I/O module.

Metronome Technologie will present the AQWO2+, an elegant and versatile CD/SACD player, streaming endpoint, and DAC with selectable tube and solid-state output stages. The system will be paired with the Elektra external reference power supply for maximum performance.
