Thanks for your kind words Phil :) It was lovely to see you at the show, just wish i could have spent a little more time chatting. It was a fabulous show!
Thanks for the rundown Phil, Alchris Audio is Alan Clark, risen from the ashes of Kralk. He makes wonderful speakers at a ludicrously fair price, well worth checking out.
Pearl Acoustics were running a Rega Planar 10 with a Rega Aria Mk3 Phono Stage. You missed one of the few rooms playing anything one could consider to be Music. You also missed, or perhaps were not interested in the items, but in the Doug Brady Room they had the forthcoming Quad Platina, the Audiolab 9000 Streamer and the Warfdale Dovedale. The Quad and the Dovedales in particular, were worth investigating and personally, I look forward to seeing more of the Quads when they come to market around October.
The JBL speakers in Doug Brady's I think where the new mark 2 versions of the L 82 and L 100, they are around £ 2000 and £4000 respectively ,the first version has been around 3 or 4 years, i think Doug had the Rega 50th turntable on display as well.
Good to see you at the show. I kept getting lost in spite of having a map. I can totally relate, it was very confusing. I think you forgot to mention Puritan Audio, love their products. I know what you mean about it being impossible to make good judgements of gear at a show. At best you get a few pointers but better still a chance to talk to people.
Great review thanks. I went for my first time as I now live too far from Bristol and had a great time though its a shame that so many rooms play one-dimensional 'hifi' music that doesn't really give you much impression of what they will sound like in the real world. I am also not a fan of Kef but their active LR60s were the product of the show for me closely followed, as always by the Neat offerings. Some of the worst things I heard were electrostatic. I did look out for you on Saturday but, as you say, it was busy. I liked the venue but the food offering was restricted and overpriced.
The ophidian was the best sound what am I hearing 🤮🤣 bass heavy super bloated sound need to flip the room around 🤣😭 The falcon room next door was better lateral audio and vinyl passion best rooms oppose to the bigger more expensive systems

Always informative and honest

Hi Phil good review of the show & I loved when you said the speakers were good value at £6000 I nearly chocked on my cuppa lol.
They was shocking transmission line and bass heavy
Not many floorstanders at that price. Drive units are the most expensive part. What about ones in the £100,000+ price range?
pmc floorstanders where amazing
I'm sure Audite would be up for it 😉
Neat were brilliant
Indeed we would :)

That was quite orderly Phil . I expected total carnage .
😂 Indeed - very informative - almost slick, but let's not get carried away👍
Carnage at Cranage!
I'm with you in Kef.
Look horrible, don’t sound great.
Like plastic parking meters 😂
The kefs are shocking as soon as you walked in my home setup better than those blades souless
Definitely go for WTL - Their phonostage is phenomenal for the money.
Which "WTL" phonostage do you mean?
@@rachelwilliams9749 It's the RIAA Phono Stage.
Make notes before you start recording. What I've started doing.
It wouldn’t be the same if Stereo Phil had noted.
@@christopherfox735 yeah. Just names.
Yes drinking tea helps his cognition.
Absolute shambles of a review!

Falcon are over twice the price. I’ll check them out at this year’s show this weekend.
