    Thanks Marco.

    I think its just the ones i mentioned earlier on this thread.

    Dave Anderton.
    Chris Frost.
    Aquapiranha.
    Anthony (Matthews)
    Ian K.

    I think Dave and Ians names were suggested by others rather than actually volunteering themselves..
    I don't want to pester folks as they may well be on holiday.
    One or two just turning up won't be a problem but there's still some unconfirmed on the other forums as well.

    Cheers Al.

    Some directions.

    From the North.
    M6 - M56 - M53 Chester.
    M53 ends, take first junction for Chester A56.
    Third exit on roundabout for Chester.
    Quarter mile to next roundabout, turn left onto ring road.
    Straight through traffic lights and at next roundabout(busy) take middle lane and 3rd exit (minor road signposted Huntington).
    Caldy Valley Centre is first turn on left 100yds.
    If you get to Sainsburys you've gone too far.

    From N.Wales.
    A55 Chester.
    Take junction for Chester A41 Whitchurch.
    At roundabout take left lane and first exit, centre 100yards on left.

    Hi Al,

    If we're going to be a bit short on speakers I could possibly volunteer my IPLs (S5TL Gold transmission lines) although I don't have a means to transport (or lift) them. (They're big and heavy and fragile)

    I've never heard them in the room volume that they're meant to be used in so it may well be interesting.

    Cheers,
    Tony

    As it happens Tony.

    Steve who is on the list above is hoping to bring IPL S5tl speakers.
    But there's no guarantee he can make it due to family illness. Which is why i didn't mention it.
    Hope he can get here cos he has another different DAC.
    If he cancels in time, i'm sure we can get yours to the gig.

    If you want to bring em anyway, PM me with the speakers dimensions.
