Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2012

[Bernard]

Ahem. I know which I am preferring.

Nice try, Todd.

Comparing the looks of the two is like comparing the butt-ugly Honda Element with Joe's Ferrari, the Ferrari being the Classé, just in case Todd was wondering.

Nope, no wondering... it was immediately clear

Frankly, I'm not thrilled with either design. I do like that Chord amp though. Yowza!

This was nice. Classe CP800.

Check the spec - interesting. I sat there and listened and realised it was pointless. Needed much better speakers to assess it.

And Bernard - Adam is right - get it together!!! Too much Burmester, obviously

Yep. That Classés is stunning!

The USB lead on the Classe led to an iPhone 4 as a source. Never miss a phone call

You should have come along to Reading. Excellent day. Not really a show but more a demonstration of equipment.

Rooms were set up with care and was much more personal than the typical show.

Definitely recommend you come along to the next one!

It's not ARC. What's wrong with you ?

Well, it's not as stunning as ARC. But still......it's Canadian at least!

I concur with Marck's post regarding Reading event, keep an eye on Guildford Audio website for the next one, maybe late autumn?

Great to meet you Marc, looking for ward to hearing your CLX's..

 

[User211]

Yeah they have done one or two before, I believe.

Main reason I didn't do Reading was distance and I usually enjoy Bristol. Actually I did this year due to the people I was with - just the sonics left a lot to be desired!

You UK people with distance. I don't know. We drove from London to Bristol one day and were told by countless Brits that that could not possibly be completed in a day! HAHA, 2 hours or something!

So what's Reading? Half that?

 

[User211]

They must have been mindless numpties, then, Adam. Central London from where I live is about 2.5 hours. Reading is almost exactly half that as you say.

Another reason is really that the only thing I wanted to hear that I hadn't heard before was the Maggie 3.7.

Keep in mind that when down-under, a "close neighbor" is just 700 miles away.

Justin, the 3.7's were running at Reading but only had a handful of hrs on them. Front end was the S7i through Dartzeel integrated or Arc/Krell pre power.

 

[User211]

The reason I wanted to hear them was a refurbed Duetta owner was slagging them off. Therefore, curious to see what they were actually like.

Some places are like that, that's for sure.

Looking forward to meeting up and seeing what you think of my system

*Ahem* That would be "700 km away". Our antipodean friends are enlightened enough to use the metric measurement system.

Not quite - 700 miles would be exactly 1126.5km.

True. I was quibbling the unit, not the number.

how about "a fair walk about" - or whatever wildly under-stated Aussie colloquialism fits here?
