EP 033 Where sound & art collide. Sculptural, futuristic, fanciful and musical. Metaxas & Sins
Updated: May 14
“Only give life to an object which never existed before.” Kostas Metaxas designs luxury collections of high end HiFi. Every item in the collection is HiFi Art – totally and utterly different, organic and imaginative. “Otherwise they have no reason to exist”. He made a decision to create a “visual language”, to go out on his own and design uniqueness in an industry that had failed to evolve.
The Metaxas & Sins range also includes the world’s only newly designed, high end, open reel tape machine. An improvement on anything that has ever gone before both musically and visually.

"When you look at the rest of the luxury businesses the one that hasn't evolved is high end audio. Cars, watches, fashion there's thousands of companies but in high end audio it was basically virgin territory. No one had bothered to do museum quality, high end objects of art in audio" - Kostas Metaxas
Thanks to these fine Global HiFi Brands for their Support.
