What a great combination - Louis Chochos's Single-driver speakers (both the MaxHemp ($2495) and the Super 3XRS ($949) were demoed at the show) driven by Vinnie Rossi's Red Wine Audio Signature 70 monoblocks (available for $2999/pair). What makes Red Wine Audios' amplifiers so unique is that they are battery operated.
Indeed Red Wine Audio’s innovative design has helped contribute to the company’s many achievements, but according to Red Wine’s owner Vinnie Rossi, it is the mentality behind the product that is key for success. Rossi said that his mantra is shared by his counterpart, Omega Speaker Systems President and Chief Designer Louis Chochos.
“The Omega Loudspeakers are a great match with Red Wine Audio amplifiers and sources. The synergy between electronics and speakers is very important, especially when exhibiting, and I can always count on Louis' speaker designs to mate exceptionally well with RWA gear,” Rossi said.
Rossi explained that the innovative product quality and reasonable pricing behind his company is paralleled by Omega Speaker Systems and said that he appreciates Chochos’ outlook on their craft.
“Just like Red Wine Audio products, Omega is a company that offers high value in their products; their audio performance and build quality far exceeds their price tag. Louis is also equally passionate about the music as he is with his products,” Rossi said.
In addition to sharing similar attitudes toward audio electronics, both Rossi and Chocho manufacture their products on premise in Connecticut; another attribute that Rossi says contributes to the success level when pairing with another company at a show.
“On a personal level, I really admire Louis' love and dedication for this business. I also like how he treats his customers with the highest level of care, honesty and respect. This is extremely important to me, as I share these values,” Rossi said.
