I'll be at Tonbridge at the Audiojumble, sadly! (Stalls 13 &14 if anyone is visiting!) https://www.audiojumble.co.uk/nextevent.html  

Hi Adam, That looks like an interesting event, but I can't risk missing the infamous Hi-fi Wigwam Show! Am I right in thinking that you exhibited a B&O system there a few years back when the show was at Melton? Kind regards, Steve.

I did indeed and a mix-up by the hotel meant that I was allocated the smallest bedroom in the place - barely bigger than a broom closet. Luckily I didn't take a big system with me. Only a Beogram 8002, Beocord 8004, Beomaster 8000 and Beovox MS150.2s! It still sounded fantastic, though - I had lots of compliments and I think I converted a few B&O sceptics. One chap in particular came back around 5 times during the day and kept telling me he'd never heard B&O before and it was the best thing at the show! Obviously he was quite right....

Hi Steve Thanks for letting us know about this event. I went yesterday and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. I think it can best be described as a classic car show for Hifi enthusiasts. An amazing array of systems and budgets all sounding very different. Proved to me that simply throwing money into equipment doesn't guarantee a great sound. It was reassuring to come home to listen to my trusty Lab 5's. The sound they produce is, to my ear, better than anything I had listened to all day.

Hi BeoBang, Goad to hear that you enjoyed the show!  I agree that it is very hard to match the power and quality of Beolab 5 with a regular audio system, but there were some good systems at the show. I will follow up with a video of the show later this week. Kind regards Steve.
