Back from the Hi-Fi show

Home again from another Heathrow Hi-Fi show. Will I ever recover?

What a sad, embarrassing event. It was like watching a slow rail crash - fascinating and horrifying at the same time. An American visitor swears he saw tumbleweed blowing down the corridors!

Why were there so few exhibitors? Perhaps its because there are so few visitors. Why are there so few visitors? Why didn't you go? Let me know!

What kind of show would you attend? What would you like to see displayed or demonstrated at a Hi-Fi show? Would a different venue be more convenient?

Would you support a show that offered Hi-Fi and Home Cinema, multi-room, PC audio, DIY, car audio... with all major and minor brands on view and dem'd in good, sound proofed booths in, say, the NEC at Birmingham?

Something needs to be done professionally and with style. I don't think that Hi-Fi magazines should be running shows as money making ventures. It's a job for The British Federation of Audio (BFA). I shall lobby them to get it done.
