More a thread full of pictures than a report really but I've added some comments of stand-out items. I'll start with us. We tried to create a living room feel and acoustic, and our equipment rack usefully doubled as a bar :) [img]http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9797/dsc0066bp.jpg[/img] Ikon had some beautiful electronics on show and these AudioPlan loudspeakers which for me were making one of the best sounds. Clean and controlled combined with great looks. The electronics had shades of 47 Labs and at around £1500 a box won't be too hard on the pocket: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00341.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00355.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00342.jpg[/IMG] Cymbiosis and Kudos were making good sounds, and showing some simply stunning Linn LP12 plinths. Linn and Naim electronics were used: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00373.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00374.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00375.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00377.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00379.jpg[/IMG] DPA are well and truly back with us and showing some new electronics including amplifiers and dac. Very neat construction (as usual) and the Deltran link is back, demonstrated at the show fitted to a Cambridge 650 CD player used as transport: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00372.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00370.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00371.jpg[/IMG] Simaudio had some 30th anniversary Moon electronics specially pimped in Ferrari red - absolutely gorgeous: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00332.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00333.jpg[/IMG] These were interesting. The name escapes me but they used a heavily modified Tannoy DC on the front and an array of 18 small full range drivers on the rear. I thought they looked great but sounded very ordinary: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00324.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00323.jpg[/IMG] Talk of he show for many, the Acapella Horns and Einstein amplifiers. Mixed bag sonically - great on transients and superb tweeter but a bit coloured through the mid IMO: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00336.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00335.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/zippy670/DSC00334.jpg[/IMG]
