I would love to attend the roadshow on 29th May. Aylesbury is quite convenient for me, but I would feel awfully guilty if I took a place, meaning someone else couldn't book, and then found work commitments prevent me from attending.

I see you've talked yourself out of it Ifor?

We will be running ads in the mags for the 2 months leading up to May 29th. (April and May issues)

Hopefully at least 100 - 120 people will not be thinking of it that way...?

I haven't talked myself out of it, but I really don't want to let you down by booking a place that may not be used. I'll work out what time slot is likely to be best for me.

There are two rooms. The Olivier suite will be doing a 'rolling demo' every 1 hr 40 min (lasting 1.5 hr approx). It can take 30 people but most standing - and there is no 'lock-in' so people can leave the room if it was 'too much'.

The Christie suite next door will have the headphone amps, and can take 10 people sat, and a few more standing, but I'd expect a flow in and out - I don't think anybody would want to stay in there all day.

Outside there is a reception area, and further on there's the hotel bar/seating area for a 'cuppa', so if it attracts too many people they'll overflow into these areas.

If I find thousands of people want to come I'll have to see if the hotel can spare a banquetting suite...

However, going on the big hi-fi shows, they're lucky to attract more than a couple of thousand, and that's for several exhibitors.

Now if everybody thinks "I'd better not go because I may be denying somebody a place" then there'll be plenty of room for everybody... Wink

I should probably book myself a place so that I can hear Proprius and LS3/5A under best conditions. Maybe I should postpone the sale of my Proprius until after the event, just in case...

Best conditions???

Shows have a reputation for being awkward with 'the sound'. At Heathrow many years ago an RP3 would only perform if sat on the floor! The kit is switched off in transit, and in my particular case, will remaine switched off for nearly a week before the set-up the night of the 28th. All the equipment will have been run-in here, but it will only have had 12 hours burn-in on the day...

However, we will do out level best to please!
