Spent a good couple of hours there on Friday (thanks Paul, Chris and Richard) and came away very impressed. I did a quick A/B on the 7200s and there was a clear improvement, with the highs sounding much cleaner. It was a bit noisy around so I didn't have a proper listen but I know I really liked the 7200.2 last year and the SEs were definitely better so in a proper environment they must really sing. Spent the most time with the 5200 SE which are now transformed. I didn't compare to the old but having listened to them in the past, they didn't really do anything for me. I could happily live with the SE version though. They also look fantastic in metallic blue/turquoise finish. Didn't get to listen to the 8000s but I expect I shall pop back in today for the full works.
