    I usually go to the Scalford show with three other friends (if one or more is not already showing), but this year, for a number of reasons, only one of my friends was free to visit the show with me. We still had a great time though and the 'amateur' demonstrators really put the 'professionals' to shame - well organised and super friendly and welcoming. In contrast the pros were their usual rather aloof and standoffish. It was a shame that some of the more extreme exhibitors were missing this year but there was still a lot to see and listen to.

    The two rooms using stand mount JBL's stood out for me and neither sounded at all vintage.

    ken (Qwin), I'm afraid your speaker experiment, although interesting, left me more bemused than convinced. Sorry - but it was interesting.

    The Linn demo and workshop were interesting.

    I took a photo in every room (I hope) and intend to do a write up if I have time.

    Being a busy bunny I also went to the Stylus Vinyl Show in Manchester (saw Marco there briefly - Hi ) - this was a really quiet show, a couple of interesting exhibits.

    It was a lash up for the show Mark, I don't intend using the Yamaha bass units and it will all be in a single cabinet. I'm developing between shows, so it was at an in-between changes stage. Got NEBO in May and I'm hoping to have 12" Scanspeak bass drivers, which are sat in my bedroom, in some form of cabinet by then. After that comes a change from active analogue to digital crossovers, so it was by no means an end product, just the point where I'm at on the learning curve.

    The 'Sony room' looks like it was a sight worth seeing.

    I think Steve means pictures of the show taken by AoS members, not those belonging to someone elsewhere. If only Justin had went to Scalford and produced the results he did with the Bristol show...

    That's what we're missing!
