Alex,
Don't apologise for your 'essay' - it sounds like you got a hell of a lot out of the day. What you've written makes a lot of sense and should be required reading!
Thanks.

Alf: what did those Leak 'TL12+' amps sound like?

Just a quickie... Has anyone got a link to Noel Keywood's thoughts of the show in HFW? I saw a link earlier somewhere to it, but can't find it now.
Churz!

Cheers, Chris (and Andre, by PM). Interesting... Pity he never made it to our room

This room had no right to sound as good as it did, really, when you look at the challenge Alec had with such a narrow room. I believe Alec said that the entire system was less than a grand! It was difficult to get to listen properly due to the sheer number of people, (although in many rooms I'm sure the "human sound treatment" definitely helped!) but this system was really working well together, and I must say those Winchester's were a steal at £350.Originally Posted by alfie2902

Thanks for the kind words Chris (TGW) and for reading it Andre!
Andre - the Leaks weren't in use - look gorgeous, though!
Alfie - thanks for all the pics - great! (And Mark (Reid Malenfant's) linky earlier) - don''t feel so bad about leaving my camera in the AoS room for most of the show now!
Already see that me missed some interesting looking rooms - (BobC & Beeroclock's) which is a shame. There just isn't enough time!
