I used to go to the Bristol (UK) AV show each year. M always had a big room with a huge queue of all sorts of folks waiting in line for their demo. That was a good way of M getting noticed, spreading the word, and knocking all other exhibitors for six!

But they've stopped doing shows, so now no-one is likely to stumble across them.....

(Btw, the big hotel DrOne refers to is, I think, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Dubai ran out of money and was bailed out by Abu Dhabi - the oil-rich largest Emirate in UAE. The price, was rename the world's tallest building virtually overnight to have the AD ruler's family name.... Caused a stir in publicity/marketing circles changing from Burj Dubai to Burj Khalifa days before the official opening!!)

Most of my M kit has been bought second-hand, but I did buy my 500 series amplifier and A500 speakers brand new. I certainly couldn't afford to buy new M kit nowadays. Still, I'd like a HD621.....!
