“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
Hunter S Thompson
Would be interested in the attendees' response to these speakers and what amplifier is used to drive them.
For the the first (and only) Art of Sound get-together, I brought some Quad 510 monoblock amplifiers to drive some Quad 57 esl Alan had brought along. Whilst I did not hear the pairing as some of us were having lunch, the combination was well received by those that heard them.
Just as well, as that combination is what I use at home.
Anyway, I hope you all have a good and enjoyable time at NEBO. Looking forward to reading all about it. Don't forget to take plenty of photographs!![]()
