That's not just a horn. It's the first speaker ever made, with drivers by Bell Labs using loads of R&D spend for sound quality instead of WAF looks.

If you like it, you won't like the rest of the hifi. If you don't then fine.

I like it all, I want it all... :)

Thanks to forum members here, I called up BMW Welt and discovered that a 160 m2 space was available for Friday night. A quick call to Geoffrey Armstrong at Sound Galleries in Monaco, and he gave me the green light to organize an event at BMW Welt to launch the Sound Galleries Music Server

With this space we should be able to achieve a very good sound. Public visiting time will be from 2pm till 7pm. Then there is ticketed event from 7:30 to 9 pm with food and drinks

Both the T+A PDP-3000HV and the T+A DAC 8 DSD will be showing their sonic abilities being driven at DSD 512 by the Sound Galleries Music Server doing realtime PCM to DSD 512, and DSD 64 to DSD 512 using HQ Player

I will be visiting Munich next week to finalize the arrangements, and the special food and drink prices for What's Best forum and Computer Audiophile members.

Hope to see you there, it should be fun and a sonic delight


So you are not displaying at MOC, like the last year ? How far is this venue from MOC ?

BMW World is 7.3 km from the MOC where High End is, takes about 10 minutes in a taxi

We will arrange a minibus or bus to take people from MOC to BMW World about 20 minutes after High End closes its doors at 6 pm

The space we have booked is 13 m x 12 m with a 4.75 m ceiling. We are hoping it will be sonically competitive with the spaces at the National Stadium in Warsaw !

I am very curious to hear it. (I am not as "white and black" as you are. I might like the Western Electric (for certain things), but still like planars as well (for other things).)

2 hours won't be necessary, if it is anything like 2014 (which it might well NOT be). Your mind will be blown within 2 minutes. 2011 was still very good indeed, though.

I'll be going for the first time this year, flying out on the Thursday and returning back on the Monday, it would be good to meet a few WBF members

The bus will probably leave at about 6:20 pm to give plenty of time for people to make it to the pick up point

You will all each get your individual tickets with your name on :)

The desks will be removed and I promise there will not be a quiz

There will be good food and wine at a modest cost !

Should be an interesting and enjoyable evening

I have no preferences. Whatever is provided I am sure to enjoy, unless of course you go totally vegan!! :)

What are people's food preferences ?

Since you are talking about food I suggest two great places to eat in Munich - the Augustiner-Keller and the Wirtshaus Zum Straubinger. I have been there before and the Bavarian food was great - but do not expect diet food there! I had roasted pork and duck, and plenty of delicious potatoes and vegetables.

For connoisseurs of Wiener Schnitzel, one of the best (in Europe !) is Liebighof

I have yet to have a better schnitzel in Vienna
