They were great, thanks for taking the time to post them.
So who had the best sound going on? And no crap about 'it's difficult to say'.
I bet it was them with the Pioneer speakers. It was, wasn't it?

I'd imagine if the Kenrick Pioneer's were actually there, they'd fuck the whole show up and reduce all the other players to tears.

yes you must be exhausted !!!! great though
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

No actually they were doing that live cello against the system thing. I couldn't be doing with it. The only place in the room was right by the door it was so packed. I withstood the celloist for about 2 minutes as he was in spiel mode, realised the speakers were only Ks and left!!!

Cracking little things. And smaller than Neat Iotas!Seemingly stupidly good for the money. Freakin' tiny, but excellent playing Leftfield. Almost beggared belief. I spoke to the designer - -6DB at 53Hz and no deliberate bass emphasis higher up. I was impressed. Two Hi-Fi Piggy reps were in there, one agreeing with me, the other one smiling.
£699. Orphidian Minimo. Of course they could be rubbish playing something else, I thought, so I walked back in later. Still really good.
Genuinely surprising things.

I'm actually thinking about getting K's or J's later on this year, would have loved to hear the K's. Unlucky, what can I say. Probably would not have enjoyed it anyway, not too big on Belanger.
