Credo Audio with the Avenger Reference and Fatboy at Munich 2018


As in previous years Credo Audio Switzerland will be demonstrating their products in room Atrium 4.2 F231f at the Munich Hi-Fi show. This year there will be a special edition of their EV Reference ONE loudspeaker, that had its premier in 2017 also in Munich. Developer Michael Kraske created this model around the idea of a wide-band, closed cabinet speaker. Knowing about the tonal balance and richness that a full-range speaker can reproduce, Kraske was not willing to accept the lack of bass and presence of high percentage of distortion. The paper-cone, symmetrical drive mid-woofer is accompanied by a 1“ tweeter and 12“ long-throw subwoofer. The mid-woofers slices-cone prevents effectively cone breakups, so it is playing from 50Hz and blending over gently to the tweeter creating a speaker with full-range characteristic - but with punchy bass down to 25 Hz and extended treble smooth as silk. As always with Credo Audio speakers, they achieved linear impedance and a high efficiency (of 87.6 dB), making it an easy load for amplifiers.

The VPI Avenger Reference turntable will be the main source for this system equipped with Van den Hul „Colibri Master Signature“ and „The Crimson XGW“ cartridges. Completed is the duo with a KISEKI Purple Heart N.S. ,



In addition to using the standard JMW 12-3DR, the brand new Fatboy (Gimbal) tonearm will be featured as the primary tonearm. For the first time at an international show VPI will be demonstrating both an uni-pivot and gimbal flavor. We are very excited to hang out and listen to this room!

This is fascinating! The Credo Audio EV Reference ONE sounds like a truly innovative speaker, especially with Michael Kraske's dedication to combining full-range characteristics with powerful bass and smooth treble, all while maintaining high efficiency. And the VPI Avenger Reference turntable, especially with the debut of the Fatboy tonearm demonstrating both uni-pivot and gimbal flavors, promises an incredible audio experience. It's great to see such meticulous engineering come together. For anyone needing to share their notes or images from the show, I highly recommend checking out JPG to PDF Merger – it’s super handy for combining all those event photos into one easy-to-share PDF.

This is an exciting preview for the Munich Hi-Fi show! The dedication Credo Audio shows with their EV Reference ONE loudspeaker, particularly Michael Kraske's design to maintain tonal balance without sacrificing bass and minimizing distortion, is truly impressive. Coupling that with the VPI Avenger Reference turntable and the debut of the new Fatboy tonearm, demonstrating both uni-pivot and gimbal flavors, promises an exceptional listening experience. I'm especially keen on how the slices-cone technology prevents breakups. For anyone working on visuals for their own audio projects, Converter PNG to SVG could be a useful tool to get crisp, editable logos and icons.
