Bristol next week

Looks like a day trip up country is on for next week, but need to plan ahead. Hoping for a leisurely day with my wife so probably not up for a 'see you in the bar', but a couple of questions:

Had a quick look at the exhibitors here and trying to put together a short list so as not to miss things. Still on a general speaker survey (recent 'omni' thread notwithstanding) so Living Voice, Harbeth and Neat were one's that caught my eye. Any 'must hear' suggestions ? (not into AV!)

Secondly, anyone there on a professional basis? Just wanted to avoid getting back here to a 'you should have introduced yourself and we would have played something decent' type thing.

 

I see that WM will be there, so I'll definitely be popping in to say hi to Tony.

I fancy checking out some of the valve gear this year, so will probably focus on that.

 

i'll be going so i hope to see some new and old faces there. i'll be on the lookout for a power amp (possibly). anyone know if anything using the icepower modules will be being shown?
cheers

Please someone have a listen to the new souped-up Sugden A21 Special Edition and post reactions here. just for the sake of us ex-pats who can't make it.
Cheers

 

I'll be hanging in the Omiga room mostly.
Chris, life must be so hard being stuck in the Canaries

 

I'll be there in room 234, with my new amps. (sorry for the plug.)

any chance i can get someone attending from the london area to pick something up from tony? i will not be able to attend the show, but i had been hoping to go and pick up a purchase from tony....

 

I'll do you a deal on that.
Your system looks pretty interesting and I like to hear different kit. Offer me a coffee and a quick listen to your system, and yeah, I'll bring something back from Tony for you.
If you're serious, drop me a PM.

 

i would love to invite you around for a listen, but if you look here:

you will understand that it will not currently be possible. however, asap and wife permitting, the invitation is issued.

 

If you are proud of what you do let people know! (within AUP etc.)

Would like to have a listen, but I can tell you now, I won't be bringing the cheque book.

Just had to share:
My wife commented how much easier (and more fun) it would be if people looked like their avatars. This was a while ago when WM was Mutley, but will still be looking out for a blue-rinsed bee hive....

 

unfortunately a trip to the butchers put pay to my beehive

 

Blake,
Sorry to hear about the present "negotiated position".
Of course I'm more than happy to pick up something for you. As mentioned, drop me a PM with the details and address and we can sort out a convenient delivery time on the 27th Feb.
Cheers
Mike

 

I'll be going - I'm hoping to meet Tone so perhaps I will meet some of you guys too.

Regards,
