    Default Wigwam Show 2017 Scalford Hall , Anyone doing it ?

    Not long now until the WW show.

    Anyone here exhibiting ? or attending ?

    I have my name down for a exhibiters room again , If I get a room it will be the 3rd time exhibiting , Also have been twice as a walker ( Very enjoyable ) , If you are a hifi buff you MUST attend at least once in your life as it is NOT a commercial show , all the rooms have forum members showing their home hifi setups . The new owners of HiFi WW will have a slightly more business / commercial approach . Trade stands will be at the show but you don't have to buy things

    If you fancy a room you can enter you details on the ww spread sheet , May help if you are on the wam as well . link here for the spread sheet

    If you only need tickets you can get them here

    This link also has details about the show , Have a LOOK

    Good luck to them, but whatever it is, it seems to be a million miles away from the spirit of a Wam show.

    I'll definitely be going. After attending as a visitor I exhibited the year before last and loved it. I felt I went some effort to transport my little Harbeths, 2 Croft boxes, speaker stands and CD player but some go to extraordinary lengths, exhibiting gear the size of wardrobes, multiple turntables and the like. You'll hear and see stuff hear that you'll not see anywhere else. I received very engaging and warm feedback.

    I'll make sure I have a name badge on, don't be a stranger ;-). The internet can on occasion bring out what is not the best in us, face to face we generally operate on a far better level.

    I went in 2012 it was very interesting. As Al says, you have to go at least once.

    Had a look at the exhibitor's list. Some interesting speakers, I would like to hear the Kii Threes. And Looper's system. And the solid aluminium 4 way dipole.

    Watch out you'll end up on Wam.TV LOL.

    Looking increasingly commercial from the website.

    There were trade stands when I went in 2012, It didn't detract from the event. Although I bought a copy of The Nightfly that turned out to have groove damage, wasn't too happy about that.

    I went a few years ago, Alex and me did the "Cheap as Chips" room, where we had to put together a system for £100 or less, hid did a system and i did one, it went really well. i must admit i enjoyed catching up with guys from AoS, I think we all went into town for a curry and a shandy. i think the only problem you have when exhibiting is you don't get as much time to look around, but as others have said, everyone should go at least once.
