I am interested to have opinions on them more as a mid/high driver, so not concerned about their bass abilities. Rather expensive as a mid driver but if they do the business then so be it. Have been in contact with John Howes to arrange a demo on the understanding its raw drivers only I would be wanting. ]]> Bake offs and shows paulf-2007 http://www.hifiwigwam.com/showthread.php?87202-voxativ-at-Munich http://www.hifiwigwam.com/showthread.php?86838-Northerners-darn-sarf-bake-June-1st&goto=newpost Wed, 08 May 2013 15:11:05 GMT When I attend bakes "oop north", I always say to the guys: "come down to my New Year bake". The places tend to get snapped up pretty quickly though, so at Steve's last Oktoberfest, we got our heads together to arrange something.

June 1st, the usual format. Two rooms for kit and plenty of coffee and beer. As it's June, the bbq should be making an appearance :^ I'm assuming everybody will be staying over for the Sunday morning fry-up too :cool:

I've spoken to a few people and the following have said they will come - it would be good for people to confirm here though, as it's been a while.......:)

Not really a bake off, but just a quick note to say thanks to Chris and his Wife for making me so welcome last night. :)
They fed me haddock, chips and peas and a lovely pudding, and talked about the world and it's people:D.

On the hifi front, we managed to drag a bit more performance from Chris's lovely Inspire Eclipse SE turntable after faffing about with spacers, mats and various measuring devices:^.

Enjoyed some Beatles, which I haven't heard in a while and a bit of Dire Straits (well you have to don't you!).

'The Hi-Fi Show 2013' is a specialty high-end audio event scheduled to run over two days ...". Details here http://www.hifinews.co.uk/editorial/page.asp?p=875.

But when I Google "The Hi-Fi Show" what do I find at the top of page 1 ? This http://www.thehifishow.com/.

Now I'm confused (or maybe not).
