Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2018

They must surely be taking the piss with that name ??

Commercial suicide, isn't it ??

They've been around for a good long while, and do a crazy liquid cooled valve amp, so you can only conclude it isn't as bad a name as you might think It probably appeals to an obvious market sector.

Yeah, like Pink Triangle before it.

The only person I ever knew who bought one of them was .. er .. also "one of them"

Sorry for the puerile gag but I couldn't resist !

great show . the ram speakers room pretty good with the little l3/5a falcon speakers causing quite a stir . their sudgen amps looked good . the new spendor a7 sounding very natural and the audionote e`s were just utterly fantastic . if only , if only they would turn the volume down in that room !!

well worth a visit

Nah, it was about right when I was in there - pretty loud.

I think there's something good about this slate veneered blue coned AN E variant. It stiffens up the cabinet a bit I think.

This room was doing the Audio Note thing well this year. It presented tonality and sense of acoustic space in a way nothing else in the show got close to. But there's a price to pay with it, in that you become aware that it is coloured really quite quickly. And quite heavily so. If you don't give a damn about this, it is a real winner. If you do, it isn't. You just have to make a choice, I guess. Lots of people love it but ultimately I just couldn't live with it. What it does really well with is the sort of music I just don't really listen to.

You pretty much nail it there. Audionote should use that in their brochures

I'm betting your no salesman, Martin The truth in advertising blurb? Nope, no way.

Almost forgot, those Quad ESL-2912's . . . . OMG

Could have spent a few hours listening to them, just gorgeous in every way and all driven by a small 75W all-in-one amp/CD/DAC/streamer box serving up file based audio. Even I was surprised at how capable it sounded

I heard them too, on Friday, and thought their room was one of the best sounding. And, astonishingly (to me), source was a mobile phone, via bluetooth
