Guys,
If this is just going to turn into a 'slag the Wam' fest, I'm going to have to lock (and most probably delete) this thread. Therefore, turn it into something positive/constructive, and refrain from making any further derogatory remarks, or the thread will be put in the bin.
Cheers!
Marco.

The Wigwam are responsible entirely for the organisation and presentation of the Scalford HiFi show which has undoubtedly had a siginificant influence with regard to the way HiFi equipment is marketed by a once very snobbish "industry".
The atmosphere in the forum can be a little "Brusque" at times but I have never found it detrimental & there are as here some very knowledgeable folk who post there.

all up for a bit of diversity...
mixing things up.
The show is great and so helpful for anyone on a budget looking into building a solid system.
The started having some 'serious' reviews by the like of Ed Selley (HFC reviewer). All in good spirit.
Try it, see if you like it.
Like here it's a very active forum, so there is always something going on!
