Anyone going to the Bristol

what hifi's show report utterly disappointing; hopefully they will further develop the content beyond 12 items that took their interest.

Yes, it looks like a quick headlines only report, but some good stuff included.

At sensible prices the new Dali models looked gear and the Sonik 7 playing were very enjoyable. Slightly disconcerting that all the tweeters are at different heights between models, but they claim wide dispersion!

Just over halfway and stopped for a coffee at Knutsford services. Another two hours or so and should be rolling up. Looking forward to it, even the weather looks alright!

I arrived about 10:45 yesterday to miss the rush, so you should do similar. Yes, it’s looking fine today though you may catch a shower!

Yeah, that WHF article is pretty uninspiring and actually mostly features products I found equally uninspiring. The ProAcs frankly sounded poor with the Exposure amplification, and the Onkyo/Klipsch combination was clinical. It was difficult to judge the Project setup, because the Henley reps seemed far more interested in gossiping away to Ed Selley than actually demonstrating the equipment.

The Cyrus demo was strong though, and as already said, the ATCs were incredible.
