Well I've decided to give this a go...... I don't for one moment think I'm in with a chance of winning, as I'm incapable of modding anything. However, I'm going to try and put together a ridiculously cheap system, hoping to spend a lot less than £100.00 - and for me the fun will be taking part and ensure I get my arse over to Scalford next year :)
Not doing too well at the moment - all I have are some stands, given to me by a mate who was going to chuck them away (does this count Alex?).
I may try the tip tomorrow :lolsign:
Good for you Tim, it's the taking part that makes it all good fun ;)
Best of luck fella, i'm finding it damn near impossible to find a decent front end :doh:
Strange that, cos although i'm pleased with the Castle Durhams i got for the challenge, i think i could do better, to be honnest though it all depends on the room size for the judging, in a small to medium sized room the castles are great little speakers, but they would be hard pushed to deliver bass in the required quantities in a larger room:scratch:, does anyone know how big the judging room is roughly? :eyebrows:Quote:

I'm ok with that idea, i would also suggest that competitors only bring equipment and leads, there should be a selection of stands both for speakers and equipment that all competitors can use, other wise like you said Mark the room is gonna be swamped with kit:eek:Quote:

Alex, do you still have the Hifi Wigwam show leaflet that we were all given when tickets were purchased on the door? Well i do & it gives a pretty good idea of the room sizes if everything is to scale which i believe it looks to be ;)
What we really ought to consider ASAP is deciding what room would be big enough & getting over to the Wam & securing a room of our choice (if that possible!). If you haven't got the plans then i'll take pics & upload them so we can see what's what & then choose a few rooms to avoid disappointment :)
You also have a PM to highlight the importance of this directed to this post :eyebrows:
Maybe it would be an idea to edit the original post and put a list of names for all those taking part. That'll give an idea of what might be required?
yes something like sending you (alex) a pm stating a wish to enter, so you would know likely amounts, also a closing date to for entriesQuote:
