Company page · written by B.A.D.A.S.S. · confirmedAbout B.A.D.A.S.S. Ball Audio Distribution And System Solutions (B.A.D.A.S.S.) is the U.S. and Canadian home of The Margules Group — the high-end audio design and manufacturing house, designing and building audio products in Mexico City since 1927, making The Margules Group one of the earliest audio companies in the world. We bring The Margules Group’s "Tangible Musical Experience" to listeners across the United States and Canada: sound shaped by how people actually perceive sound — harmonic structure, timing, tonal integrity, and space — through the Margules Group’s ANA® (Aligned Neuro-Acoustics) design philosophy. As The Margules Group’s importer, as well as U.S. and Canadian distributor, we work with dealers and listeners nationwide across the U.S. and Canada. And as system builders, we put together complete, matched setups — from personal listening to full-room solutions — so the gear works together as one musical whole, as opposed to a collection of parts. Our Margules Group’s lineup covers the Margules U4Oria personal listening system, the 30th Anniversay no-compromise series of pure tube electronics, the Magenta series of attainable high-end components, the full range of Margules speaker systems and more. Also recently introduced is the Margules range of OCC copper interconnects and speaker cables, in both the Margules and Magenta series. In addition to The Margules Group’s range of home audio solutions, Marvox/DAS is the Group’s professional and commercial division. Marvox is the Margules Group's professional and commercial arm, delivered through DAS — Design of Sound Atmosphere. The perfect sound space can be created, and Margules are experts at it: DAS designs ambience and sound-immersion projects for public and private spaces, bringing the same listening philosophy behind The Margules Group’s home audio to restaurants, bars, museums, nightclubs, cultural centers, and venues. The range covers the full project — sound design and zoning, amplification, weather-resistant outdoor systems, and fully analog vinyl setups built around turntables and rotary mixers. MarVox speakers are time-aligned and phase-coherent designs featuring Margules' ANA (Neuro Acoustic Alignment) technology as well. Recent projects include the 10,000m² sound and video installation at El Gran Museo Maya, the 100% analog nine-zone vinyl system at Elly's restaurant, and the sound system at Bar Bósforo, one of Mexico City's great mezcalerías and Lava, an audiophile bar and nightclub in Mexico City. In addition, Margules Group system solutions can be heard at many bars, restaurants and nightclubs across Mexico and the U.S. Ball Audio Distribution And System Solutions (B.A.D.A.S.S.), works hand in hand with The Margules Group on professional and commercial projects in the U.S. and Canada as well. The Margules Group, a family-owned and operated Mexican high-end audio house, designing and building in Mexico City since 1927 — home of Margules, Magenta, and Marvox, — engineered around how people actually hear music, the Tangible Musical Experience. Margules.com About Athenamuse: Athenamuse is a Korean high-end cable house built on a simple belief: the cable is the final piece of the system. As the company puts it — "The Final Piece to Unlock Your System's Hidden Soul" and "The Purest Conduit to the Truth of Music." Every conductor is manufactured to Athenamuse's own in-house specifications, developed through long-term research and exhaustive listening tests. Each one then goes through ARP — Athenamuse Re-creation Processing — a signature confidential treatment applied both before and after assembly, finished with sonically optimized shielding and Teflon insulation. The goal is a cable that disappears: nothing added, nothing taken away, the signal arriving exactly as the music intended. The lineup covers a complete loom in three series: Eureka (OCC copper), Artes (OCC silver), and the flagship Miracle — speaker cables, RCA and XLR interconnects, USB, power cables, and jumper cables, for any component in the system. Athenamuse cables are a show-room staple: they were featured across four rooms at Audio Video Show Warsaw 2026, and were the cable of choice throughout B.A.D.A.S.S.'s Margules room at The Florida Audio Expo and AXPONA 2026. Athenamuse makes the final piece of a high-end system — OCC copper and silver cables, treated with the company's confidential ARP process, built to let the music through untouched. athenamuse.com Ball Audio Distribution And System Solutions (B.A.D.A.S.S.) brings The Margules Group’s Tangible Musical Experience and Athenamuse’s final piece of the puzzle to the United States and Canada — distribution and complete high-end audio system solutions, from personal listening to full-room systems. badasshifi.com | [email protected] | (858) 4-BADASS (858-422-3277) | @badasshifi
