I liked the idea of speakers with pictures or paintings on them, oh the possibilities……
No idea what they sounded like, plonky playing and the room was too noisy.

I liked these small floorstanders in a big room, they managed to fill it very well whilst still sounding open and lively. Really well built.
27000 quid to you sir, said with a straight face too😱.

The Music First (?) room sounded lovely (speakers had Jordan drive units I think) very open and musical.

I loved the AVID room, it just sounded right, their entry level TT is a bobby dazzler, amazing what an entry level REGA arm and AT cart can do, they were playing this:

The Originlive room sounded great with a prototype subwoofer hidden under the black cloth. Mark was on good form too.

Great dynamics from this, annoying off centre record weight though!

I’ve never heard corner Lowther speakers before, they get a lot of sound from a little driver!

That’s the babies.

The speakers with images on a Diptyque Audio - a French company making electrostatics.

Think the other boxes are AudioNEC - it’s the second stage in their upgradeable speaker system. Which sounded like a great idea until I heard that the tweeter plus one box is something like 25,000€, and the full rig is north of 200,000€
