Just got home and rushed to check what's on the forum.
On behalf of my son Alex and I we would like to thank all involved in making this wonderful day happen. It was easily worth all the effort to get there.
Thanks Nick and all at Meridian for the effort you put into this.
But for me the highlight was spending time and talking about so many things with fellow hitchhikers, especially Jon, David, DP1 and Dolf (who's probably still flying back!). I am only sorry that I couldn't find the pub afterwards but perhaps it was just as well, as we had to drive back to London!
As for the equipment, the 810 was phenomenal in every sense of the word! The 808/D8ks we knew about of course and the lack of extensive setting up of the listening area matches what I have been saying on this forum about this combination.
The presentations and explanations provided were spot on and I left feeling even happier with my choice of Hi-Fi equipment supplier.
We are already looking forward to HH3 !
