Actually so many people posting on it these days it isn't worth the effort it used to be back in 2011 when I first covered it and not many other people did. Now everyone is in on it.
But will be there tomorrow nonetheless. My media will be late coming suggest surfing elsewhere til then.

User211 - the original and the best :D
Aw Jerry we're always gonna be the best of buddies. I'll send a premium grade hooker round to give you the best of hugs but alas I can't stretch to much more:(
Someday I would like to go to the show, but I don't speak German and the last time I was there (at a wedding), if it hadn't been for a friend speaking German I would have been stuck.
Just discovered I only have one battery for the camera here. That's not enough for a day. Sling me one someone pre-charged please.
So I am in the LV room. All of a sudden Kevin shouts "get out" to a couple of Mundorf guys.
Why? Because one on them lifted a crossover lid with a substantial metal puck on top of it. It slid and went into the side of one of the Olympian subs at £200K a pair.
Nice work. Not:D
Most interesting room for me was the Tune Audio one wirh the new Avaton horn. Mobile pic below.
In terms of ease, space, warmth, soundstage and smoothness they beat anything else there.
Be careful though. When it comes to dynamics they aren't going to blow your mind. At all.
Very expensive Trafomatic amps too.
Speakers 220K Euros I think Jack from BD Audio said. Not cheap.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c1cc8bda15.jpg
Can't vouch for the quality of this but it was shot in UHD on a mobile and posted by the same.
On YouTube for this mobile stuff.
Quick walk around the Gryphon room.

I love the looks of Gryphon electronics - proper high end! :stalks:
The best system there in my opinion. Trios Luxury Edition and 3 bass horns. Superb dynamics, resolution and scale.
Price on demand. The Trios have super beefed up frames. Worth paying for over the standard model if you want zee best.
Will cover in greater depth later.
Some mobile snaps.
Had a live drummer who looked coked up playing through them. The speakers sounded like they were on coke too. Super high performance way beyond anything else there I think.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dd739027ce.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e3b34f359c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...20ae40d00d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8fdb1bb61f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0caca8a758.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8a1a38d6eb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f66c5fcdb0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f62713ac6d.jpg
Me playing with a Teac.
The mobile mic is pathetic I am afraid. Hence not keen on posting mobile videos of systems.

As it says. It does sound good and the price will surely be tempting. It is the smallest of the range.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9ff84784bb.jpg
Erm, haven't you heard of a dictionary or phrase book, daftee? ;)
It would be very unusual too, based on my experience of visiting Germany, for no-one there to speak any English (as it's very much an English speaking country)... In any case, with a bit of effort, you'll always get by! :cool:
Marco.
I can't tell if the mobile pics and Tapatalk posting looks OK this end as all I have is a mobile! If indeed they aren't rubbish I'll post some more later.
They look fine, mate :)
Marco.
Lol... Indeed.
I've been to Germany umpteen times, and to various different parts of the country, and NEVER had an issue with folk not being able to speak English. The same applies in Austria, where we were last year. In fact, English is taught there in all their schools!
In any case, for me (if I don't already speak it), learning some words of a new language, in order to communicate with locals, is all part of the fun of travelling abroad :cool:
Marco.
Justin, r u still around MOC today

No but will be there tomorrow. Why?
Rockport / Soulution sounding very coherent. I vastly prefer these to the larger side firing woofer efforts I heard a while back. These speakers do good bass in my book.

A bit more Tune. I am completely unsurprised to see a brace of EML valves in the power amps as the sonic signature reminded me a bit of their 45 solid plate, Lampizator Special 45 and 274B valves.
The name of the game with EML is a huge spacious sound. That works with these horns but is less convincing in my room with my speakers.

Room size needs to be substantial with these and Jack won't be demoing them obviously.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...65473276a0.jpg
They sold a of Avaton's yesterday so Mr Tune was all smiles:)
Last night's meal and free Snapps given because the waitress gave me a pale wheat beer instead of a dark one, which I had later.
That's it for now no more til this evening. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...845d1b8cff.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2cb194e157.jpg
I much prefer the light wheat bier. When I lived in Germany I drank weisenbier crystal -wonderful stuff!
You have just single handedly increased the sale of lottery tickets by 200%.:D
Decisions,decisions.Super car or hifi first?
i was in Hamburg, so in north. tbf most folk had some english and that was a long time ago.
They speak English pretty much everywhere in Munich. But it must have got worse recently because the ethnic diversity has increased a lot since I was last here in 2014. So has drinking alcohol in the street.
Yeah just luck of the draw in where you go. The bordello area is all German:D
I think that must've been the case, mate (extreme misfortune), as I can assure you that's far from the norm. As I said, they teach English at school in Germany, as part of their curriculum, and have been doing for some time, so aside from your average punter, for anyone under 30, English is liable to be their second language :)
Aside from that, don't you see it as a bit of fun/challenge to go abroad not knowing any of the lingo, and try and make yourself understood? For me, that's all part of the experience! :cool:
Marco.
In the botanical gardens at the moment will post an amazing video of the turtles later.
Asked the barman in germany have you any Scottish lagers... he said nine :eyebrows:
Ha - did you mention the war? If so, I think you got away with it! ;)
Marco.
Indeed, I can confirm that, as some of Del's cousins (who live in Cologne and Bergisch Gladbach) find it absolutely hilarious!! :D
Marco.
