Looks great, Howard! Have you got family there, or if not what made you go there specifically?

Nope, no family. However - they don't have any audio shops there either! Joking apart, a sort of savage beauty, coupled to infinitive varieties of grey in the scenery (I rather like grey) plus the fact that they shut down for a few months out of every 12 due to extreme climate conditions made it very appealing. Mine was the final passenger ship to stop there this year. For those of you that might feel that Margate in winter is, err, rather bleak - well it can't hold a candle to this place.Originally Posted by Marco

I'm gone.
In a Wigwam forum poll, the Pure Sound room was, in effect, voted Best at Show. I voted for that setup too - very nice sound indeed!
