Times between....

 

[Joe Cox]

Times? Most likely 6.30 to 9.30. Should be good. Oh, and did I mention the free gift? :dance:

 

[John Duncan]

"eBay!"

Sounds interesting, I don't suppose you're planning a follow up one in Devon sometime?! :wave:

 

[ROTH AV]

So, in effect, the same principle as a brand placing an advertisement within the magazine or on the website ?

Interesting development.

I'm looking for a venue for my daughter's 8th birthday party - how much does it cost to hire the listening rooms ?

:?

I don't think WHF have an office in Devon.

Where abouts are you then? KEF had a demo day/evening in Barnstaple a year or so back, at Bernard Smith's, that was enjoyable. No free gifts though...

Does this mean that Dali will only be getting five star reviews from now on? I mean, it would be harsh to give your friends a bad review wouldn't it?*

Were other manufacturers asked to do evenings or did Dali approach What Hi-Fi? I think if these evenings become the norm with various manufacturers showing their goods then all is ok, otherwise it starts to look like the mag may be less than impartial.

*Tongue in cheek comment obviously

 

[Simon Lucas]

Obviously.

 

[Joe Cox]

It has next to nothing to do with the magazine/website, and absolutely nothing to do with editorial content (obviously).

It's about Dali using our space and hopefully some readers to talk about its new products, and give you guys a first chance to get your hands on them. I guess they kinda thought that might appeal to some people!

You seem cross you didn't think of it first.

 

[ROTH AV]

I am cross.

Very cross.

I just paid out £ 180.00 to book a bowling and laser quest party for my daughter and I could have booked the WHF rooms instead. Although the £ 180 does include food for 10 girls too, so I am not sure what kind of quotes Haymarket can provide for catering to a similarly high level.

Imagine the look of surprise (joy?) on your daughters face when you say the parties been moved to WHF listening room..... :help:

She'll be fine when he reveals he's also booked top-class children's entertainer Uncle Simon

 

[MakkaPakka]

I've put my name down but Teddigton Studios isn't the easiest place to get to (unless you live in Teddington, obviously) so if I'm picked hopefully a decent amount of notice will be given so I can arrange to leave the wife and kids a frozen pizza and instructions for how to work the oven.

As to the motives, who cares! A free glass of water, some peanuts and a mystery gift has me sold.

 

[ROTH AV]

She'll love it if Simon is going to be the entertainer.

I hear that what he can do with balloons has to be seen to be believed.

And when he pokes that furry thing out of the top hat........

:rofl:

Tis easily walkable from Teddington station (if that helps).

Pretty easy to reach by car or public transport.

This makes me wish I didn't live in Australia!

Just wanted to say thank you to Dali and What HiFi for a very nice evening - the hospitality was fantastic, it couldn't have been any better.

It was great to hear the Dali products as well - I think all us visitors were extremely impressed with the Epicons.

Similarly the Kubik Free was very good considering its size and in reflection they have made a diverse product, that's modular and easy to use. I can see a lot of people being very happy listening to 2 of them or maybe 2 plus a sub as a lifestyle system.

Thanks very much again for allowing me to come, I had a really nice time
