Only a few weeks to go now - what are you looking forward to seeing or hearing?

A Naim AV3 ! Confused

Unfortunately I probably won't be there to witness this with my own eyes, so you'll have to report if pigs really do fly.....

Re: Sound and Vision Bristol 2009

If I go it'll be more what I don't want to see and hear: blasting Guitar Hero; mega-loud Roland drum machines/synths; loudest, body shaking subwoofer competition; other similiar rubbish.

Yes yes we know - you didn't enjoy the ExCel show. This one's in hotel rooms, and no Stuffery.

But if I were you I'd probably still stay at home and fulminate.

If I didn't go, what would I have to complain about? Besides, I want to have a word with PMC about claiming my DB1s in repayment for using my quote (from the show last year)

Anyway, Bristol is a far, far better show than Excel and much better value for money, i.e. not over in 1 hour....in fact Bristol takes up most of one day. Park and ride scheme provided. Also notice that the price of entry hasn't gone up.

I'll warn Pete, Keith and Tom that you're coming.

Probably because the organisers make lots of moolah from people buying stuff through them.

You can also tell them I've still got a PMC stick of rock kicking about the house somewhere. It's thick enough to beat someone to death with.

If they are still sorting out the gizits, I'd recommend something more sophisticated which underlined the progressive nature of their business and what they believe is the future of audio. How about a mouse mat?

You could see that coming couldn't you.

Something revolutionary, apparently - a turntable?

Re: Sound and Vision Bristol 2009

So, i was browsing the show site trying to work out when tickets go on sale, then discovered theyre only available on't door (aye, rookie mistake).

So, a question that will make me look even more rookie-ish (is that a word?): i know its a minority interest and all, but will there be plenty of tickets to go around, or will those who are'nt really really early be dissapointed...?

...you're going to tell me to direct my query to the relevant site, are'nt you...?


"Evolve, do'nt rev...", ah, nevermind...

Re: Sound and Vision Bristol 2009

Well yes, we are, simply because we as a company don't organise the show, so have no say over ticketing.
