Of course you did hear them before - I think you thought they were 8000s! 😁

I thought they were the 'new 8000's' - which would turn out to be BeoLab 18's.

However, Peter noticed the acoustic curtains swaying in the breeze made by whatever was behind so knew they were something large.

Geoff then realised I was deaf and did a bit of sign language at me.. whatever 'V' means, I'm not sure. 😂

Volume surely!

Canada (or, more precisely, Newfoundland) has not been part of the colonies for quite some time. Although "two-fingered salute" however, was certainly used in England long before we broke ranks (compare the dates on the link with those on ), it has not been part of the Newfoundland lingua franca, for at least the past 46 years.

Translation: regarding my sign language: you must be mistaking me for someone else.

As to your hearing abilities: no comment - but maybe we can chat about this during your visit next week. ;-)

Cheers

PLEASE READ before sending me a Personal Message.

If you have questions about or problems with B&O equipment, these should be directed through your dealer and/or B&O's Customer Service department.

I cannot be a "short circuit", bypassing these communication channels.

Thanks

If I could, I would certainly listen to "Oscar Peterson - You look good to me", a beautiful piece combining slow and fast parts, with deep bass (played with and without a bow) and a dancing piano stream. From then on, it would surely be an endless day/week/month/year/life of re-discovering my favorite tracks, from Mahler - directed by Bruno Walter to Philip Glass - Songs from liquid days ... Hope those who will attend the maiden concert will enjoy it.

I do hope you have a great time - sorry not to be meeting you again Geoff. I would have compared family trees - I have seen you did a bit of genealogy. I did the one for our family reunion in New Zealand last year (Lee will not be surprised to here that I was too busy to attend!) and at 12 point print, it was over a metre high and 31 feet wide. They had a village hall used for the reunion and it wrapped around the inside nicely! No B&O though! (Plenty of sheep I dare say so slightly reminiscent of the Farm - dash it, you have discovered the secret training ground for our spy sheep!) 😁

Why has ALT gone now? It seemed quite a clever idea.

I'll write a full report, of course. 🙂

The report writing is optional, the main thing is that you remember to take a very big suitcase and sneak a pair back for the Christmas prize draw - we promise we won't tell Geoff where they went 👍

He'd have to upgrade his membership before we need to worry about that. Besides, if the 'missing' speakers were discovered in his home, nobody will believe him if he says he won them in a draw 😕
