I must admit this show - like Heathrow is getting more disappointing each year, aprt from Meridian.

Merdiian dem was as good as 5 8ks and 27k should be!

Just before I got in I did see various Naim exhibitors queing for the Meridian Demo!

Actually went back to room right at end when an "after show demo" attracted everyone from the KEF room opposite (they said they needed to go as it would be so load they could hear anything in their room.

They played 2 tracks from the Faithless Live at Alexandra palace DVD at "high" volume (85+). You could feel the sound..., you were there..., and as I wlked back to my car I still feel my ears recovering. It was great! Can't wait to try it when the DVD arrives (ordered this morning from CD-wow) and Mrs A goes out so I can turn it up.

I was disappointed with the video in all the rooms - even M - it just didn't blow me away the way I expected it to. Maybe I'm just getting used to good video at shows and maybe the Telewest TV-Drive driving my Pioneer plasma at 720p has raised the bar for my normal viewing - can't wait for some real hih-def programming though (or maybe I need new glasses!).
