Orchard Audio to Launch Valencia Headphone Amp at AXPONA Plus Active vs Passive 2-Channel Demo

Orchard Audio will highlight two standout features at this year’s expo:

  1. Collaborative 3-Way Active Speaker System Demonstration, Room 452
    Orchard Audio has teamed up with Creative Sound Solutions (CSS), Danville Signal, and Hollis Audio Labs to present a cutting-edge 3-way active speaker system based on the acclaimed CSS Flagship Criton 3TD-X floor-standing speaker. This innovative setup features the Danville Signal dspNexus 2/8 digital crossover with filters designed by CSS and programming supported by Hollis Audio Labs. The active setup is powered by six Orchard Audio amplifiers, utilizing one Starkrimson Mono Premium (150W) amp for each tweeter and midwoofer and a Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium (500W) amp for each pair of woofers. To demonstrate the superiority of this digital/active approach, a standard Criton 3TD-X speaker with traditional passive crossover components will also be on hand, allowing attendees to hear the difference in real time. Visit Room 452 to experience this unique collaboration and the future of high-fidelity sound.
  2. Debut of the Valencia Headphone Amplifier in the Ear Gear Section, Table 8204
    Orchard Audio proudly introduces the Valencia headphone power amplifier, making its world debut at AXPONA 2025. Designed to deliver pristine audio quality and a robust 17W of power, Valencia promises an exceptional listening experience for headphone enthusiasts. Attendees can audition this new amplifier at Table 8204 in the Ear Gear section. This debut marks another milestone in Orchard Audio’s mission to elevate personal audio enjoyment.

To further sweeten this news, the first 33 visitors to Orchard Audio’s Room 452 each of the 3 days will receive a box of Girl Scout cookies.

Why? Did they get a really good deal on Girl Scout cookies for some reason? Hmm, I wonder why…

This has already been addressed and is not an issue.

My daughter is in the Girl Scouts. I purchased the cookies from her troop.
