Summary

On this episode of the AXPONA Audio Insider podcast, Lenny Florentine sits down with Jeff from Reel Sound Distribution to explore one of the most unique and artist-driven brands in high-end audio—Metaxas & Sins. From groundbreaking reel-to-reel tape machines and jaw-dropping turntables to omnidirectional electrostatic speakers and sculptural headphone amplifiers, this conversation dives into how Kostas Metaxas blends engineering, music, and pure artistic vision to create hi-fi unlike anything else in the world. They discuss the philosophy behind the designs, the pursuit of lifelike sound, and what makes these components as much collectible art as they are serious audio gear.
