Some images from the North West show. Write-up to follow, later or tomorrow...

And, a bit of feedback from around the interweb...

Some standout rooms for me were: 1. NVA amps fed by a budget Audiolab CDP sounded great and is ridiculous value for money.

What I find strange as a show newcomer was exhibitors with > £40/50/60k of kit and no portable acoustic room treatment - I just don't get that at all. NVA did have a fair bit in their small room and it definitely helped.

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.

NVA - one of the select few sounds I could definitely live with - interesting Raidho sub-brand speakers & did not play audiophile twaddle music - also heard NVA amps in another room sounding very nice, but damned if I can remember which one.

NVA - had a pleasant sound going on from their monoblocks and some prototype 'Cube' speakers, didn't have the awesomeness of some of the mega systems but it was much more listenable. Paul put on some AC-DC for me and they made a good fist of it, the upward firing main driver adds a sort of 'live' feel without it being distracting or weird.

There's some good, sensible feedback there, Paul. I hope that translates into sales for NVA.

On a complete tangent, I wonder how many of the "old timers" like me still find it strange to see NVA treated as a proper "brand", these days; spots, uplights, brochures, big logos on display boards, etc.?

Congratulations on your feedback, I did notice a few nice comments on your room acoustic treatments, well done. The room definitely looked great, so the feedback well deserved.

I'm heading off around the Turkish Aegean for a couple of weeks. Mark and Tomasz will be picking up emails while I'm away. I'm expecting to be internet-free for long periods of time, but I will take lots of photos of ice cold beers to post when I get back...
