Glad to hear you've been able to find some new speakers. Now comes the arduous task of running them in!!!!
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

Cheers BiB. I know, it's going to be such a strain.  I tried many different types of music last night and it all sounds good. The cleanness of vocals is great!

Not sure what we can post at the moment since it will be a post about other manufactures products.

However I will write up some stuff about the Queen launch and the Mike Valentine lecture and if Graham is ok a picture of the £60K speaker that looks remarkably like a patio heater missing its hood. 

Overall I think and I was disappointed this year.

I did not get tot he Decent Audio room to see if there was any GSP audio gear but Origin Live were using an GSP Elevator again.




(Edit Mike Valentine not Laurence)

Various bits of GSP Kit ..well two so far, unless you count the cables that is.

Like Steve, I'm not sure what to post, apart from being quite underwhelmed by most of the offerings.
Whilst Hotel rooms and suites are not the easiest spaces to set up in, I'm surprised that the seasoned show exhibitors do not even have some basic room treatment; After all the idea is to show off their equipment in the best possible way.
The Queen preview was very disappointing from a sound quality perspective. The vinyl may well be very good and managed to shine in a few tracks, but there was a lack of synergy in the equipment used. Just goes to prove that throwing together the best that the "Big Names" can provide doesn't guarantee a good system.
I didn't spot any GSP gear in Decent Audio's room in the morning.
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

How could they call themselves "Decent Audio" without any GSP gear? Maybe they should rename themselves mediocre audio...

Isn't the rule GSP first only when Graham makes similar products (e.g. amps, phono stages, etc) but, no problem if GSP don't make them (e.g. speakers, TTs, etc)? Maybe pictures of the latter type will be ok (mods please correct me if I'm wrong)...?

Speakers that look stranger than the £55k B&W Nautilus, could such a thing really be possible??

Artistically the Nautilus is an interesting shape unlike the Patio Heater.

..I will say though that the Patio heater on the end of a couple of £32K Valve amps with large pop bottle sized valves sounded pretty good.

There is a smaller more useful version and realistically (Wink)  priced pair for £16K
