    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 .

    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.

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    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'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.
