The Wam Show is dead - Long Live the Maverick Hifi Enthusiasts Show

[Bencat]

Today I paid for my room at the show I will be in room 240 if anyone here goes to the show please drop in . Ask me for any music I will have Tidal so should be able to sort some thing . Also please excuse me if I am a little distracted as I do get very worried about if things are sounding okay and if the wireless stays connected .

[Bencat]

Just been told that there are still 6 available rooms for any one interested in having a go this year . So go to the site and contact one of the Mods or Show Team . If you are not a member then by all means PM me with your email details and I will pass this on to one of the Team to get in touch .

I haven't been since the snow in Kegworth, which I'm ashamed to say is nearly 6 years ago (where does the time go eh?). Each year I read these posts I'm full of admiration for the folks who make it happen, whatever brand it's under. So many opinions and variables it's a miracle it ever gets off the ground. So it's a must for me to visit this year, life's too short not to.

I've only been to two, the 2012 one at Scalford Hall and the one in Stoke a couple of years back. Some great systems especially at the Stoke one. Where it is now is just too hard for me to get to without a car.

It's a shame as I think having a show that is just people's personal systems is still unique in the world.

What about this?



Stacked ESL. Something I have always wanted to hear but never have.

For a short time (about a month) I tried stacked Quad ESLs. The acoustic sense of presence was palpable, but sadly the assembly dominated the room. If I had a larger listening room, I would try again but with separate power amplifiers.

Interesting to see the NVA room didn't use their speakers - are they still made?

I beleive so.

I've heard stacked Quads a few times now and been blown away by how good they sounded, but strangely enough I thought they sounded rather 'meh' in the NVA room today.

I would suspect the amplifiers; despite what looks like the use of four monoblock units. NVA amps have never been included in a short list of amplifiers that will work optimally with the the Quad ESLs.
