Jammy, gone but not forgotten!

My extremely provisional impression was that the Node speakers didn't do it for me from a sonic point of view.NSNO2021 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2023 8:27 pm Good to see NVA delivering by some distance the best £ for £ value at the whole event. Shows are strange at the best of times. You have well established companies with 40/50/60 and occasionally over £100k of kit with zero acoustic treatment for the rooms. To his credit Paul had lugged along a fair bit of portable acoustic treatment and that definitely paid dividends in what I heard.
The star of the show for me were the Node Hylixa futuristic looking speakers. I had never heard of the company, apparently they based in Cambridge. They sounded to my ears stunning, proper stop you in your track good BUT and there is always a but --- they cost an equally stunning £30k a pair 🫣. Quite how you arrive at that price point is beyond me but here's a link if you're interested

Too far away for me, unlike Bristol which is not as good and more corporate with an entrance fee. The main thing I learned was that quality does not go hand in hand with price.
I'd love to listen to their streamer.NSNO2021 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2023 8:55 am Other honourable mentions from my perspective go to the Grimm Audio LS1A speakers with the SB1 sub woofers, regrettably another sky high (to me) price of £22k and the Neat Classics at a much more sensible £2k, a lot of controlled sound from such a small enclosure.
£10K.
