Finland's Amphion is certainly a fast-growing company whose products have impressed various SoundStagers in the past couple of years. In 2002, the Argon2 speaker was named a Reviewers' Choice and also received an end-of-the-year award for Best Product Debut. In 2002, Wes Phillips at onhifi.com declared the Xenon loudspeaker the product of the year.

German designer Norbert Lehmann (left), maker of the well-known Black Cube SE phono stage, a SoundStage! Hall of Fame award winner, was exhibiting his range of products. His son David was also on hand to help with the "family business."
