Is anyone from here going to Bristol this year? I'll be there on Saturday on my tod.

I am going for the first time. Is is listening only or is there stuff or sale?

 

[wilro15]

Audio T have a room where they sell off cheap stuff like open box and end of line products. You can also buy anything Audio T sell as they run the show.

 

[drummerman]

Demo equipment is frequently for sale on shows and they sometimes offer show discounts on orders.

Clearer audio will be there.in the conservatory. Check them out. Great cables

 

[MUSICRAFT]

I should be there on Friday, Saturday and possibly on Sunday too. I'll mainly be in the Hegel Music Systems and AV Tech/JL Audio rooms. Please pop in and say hello or call me on my mobile and time permitting if you want we can have a chat over a drink (on me).

Thanks

I am going on Friday, sharing a car with some fellow enthusiasts, but we then all go our separate ways to seek out particular interests.

My main focus this year will be floorstanding speakers between £1500 and £2500.

Oh - and I might see what speakers Hegel use this year - 2 years ago the Kef LS50's sounded really good, last year with the Reference 1's it was like being in a operating theatre - very clinical!

 

[drummerman]

Good idea.

Anyone going from the Dorset area and wants to share fuel cost?

Pmc will be showing off their speakers with German manufacturer "AVM".who pmc are bringing to the UK and are adding to their distribution portfolio,very expensive kit. I'd like to get a listen but I'm too far away.

Do they normally have vinyl sales?

I have in previous shows seen some vinyl sellers.

 

[Frank Harvey]

I'll be attending all three days - just wandering around and taking in anything and everything. Maybe looking for some new toys. As I have done in the past, I'll be available for a chat if anyone wants to meet up

I'm hoping to attend on Sunday, but as I'm flying back from Bangkok on Saturday, I might be too knackered to drive from South Cheshire....

 

[wilro15]

I will be mostly trying NOT to buy anything. The other half has already had words.

 

[CarlDW]

I will be there on Saturday. Can't wait, went last year and it was a good show.

 

[Romulus]

I am going on Friday and its my first HiFi show. There are a few brands I like to hear and I feel like a young kid going to a toy shop..!

I'll be the one who looks like they should've had a hair cut last August

Now that's dedication, I live 3 miles from the venue and still can't decide if I can be bothered to go lol

 

[Romulus]

I have just come back from Friday show. Very interesting but the speaker which made an impression on me was the Scansonic M-6 (from Decent Audio rm 318 3rd Floor). Its a Compact 2.5 slim floorstander made by people who also produce Raidho speakers. At the time I was there the music was full blown blues. What I immediately noticed was the deep down pricise yet full bass to gether with lovely treble (1+ for the tweeter) and to my astonishment the price of the speaker was shy of £1200..! With that particular music the slim speakers certainly did not require a subwoofer and it certainly embraced the verve of the music. Unfortunately the person demonstrating only had band orientated music so I could not hear other sonic aspects (eg Orchestra, dynamics, various midranges, etc). But I feel excited just thinking about the speaker which must be a good thing!

Warning any one going to the show by car for Sat & Sunday avoid the M32 going into Bristol ( It will try your patience)

 

[nopiano]

I went today too, and will post some observations another time. However, though the M32 was dreadful this morning, I understood it was due to some city centre road closures caused by storm Doris damaging some buldings. Saturday and Sunday should be fine, therefore!

 

[Gaz37]

If anyone gets stuck on the M32, come of at J3 take 1st left at the roundabout onto Easton Way, immediately get into the right lane and take the right filter lane onto Stapleton Rd. After 1/4 mile you'll get to one way system where you need to filter right onto Old Market towards the centre and Temple Meads, after a mile you'll arrive at a roundabout that is literally 100 yards from the Marriot.
