OK - logisitics time. 

We will be opening the doors at 5pm.

There will be a rolling comparative demostration of the ALT products, by yours truly, featuring Beolab 3, 5 and 9, with a variety of musical styles, until around 7pm.    During this time, Danish style Drinks & nibbles will be available.

At 7pm, there will be a presentation/talk by Mr Dave Moulton, about all things ALT, and his tales of life in the USA and Denmark.  There will then be a Q&A session, followed by a final "blast" on the Beolab 5's.

Entrance will be by pre-arranged bookings only, as we expect demand to be high.  To keep this fair and manageable, we will be reserving 30 places for BeoWorlders, and some others for our "over the counter" customers.

To book a place, please PM via Beoworld.

To make it even fairer, please PM only after 9pm, Sunday 13th Jan, so other people have a fair chance to see this info.

Max of 2 admissions per PM,  Tickets to the first 30.

( If this is a bit OTT I apologise - I'm perhaps too used to trying to get tickets for Glastonbury Erm )

Hope this seems fair to everyone - if we are overwhelmed with enquiries, we may ask the good Mr Moulton to do a matinee, or Friday repeat 🙂  If we are underwhelmed, it will be open house, first come first served !

 

Regards

David

 

I would like to be included please

I do sincerely hope that as well as the regulars, the people who just read the forums and don't post realise what a rare event this will be. We are talking about meeting a genius in person who has had an effect on technology in Audio that has shaped the future of one of the world's most famous brands. Plus, we'll be getting to hear some of the worlds best speakers in a stunning B&O dealership.

I for one plan to be there with friends too as long as i'm fast enough on the button tomorrow night - and i'll be bringing along some BeoWorld goodies for all members attending if i'm lucky enough to get tickets.

Hopefully, it will be a great chance for me to meet David in person too - who i would also like to publically thank for the support he shows for both the brand and BeoWorld.  I have heard nothing but good things about King Street, and this is without doubt testament to his enthusiasm, hard work and dedication that the branch is such a success.

I too plan to be there, if I am quick enough on the PM.

Shame you are unable to go Peter. We could have went in the Jag which is running superbly since I had the rear shocks replaced. Actually its been sat in an airport car park for the last 6 weeks so it may need some TLC when I get home this week. 

Unfortunately I am at work till 6.30 that evening on call. We could have gone in the Prius which is running perfectly! 😂

Thanks to David Jennings for pulling this together, and being so welcoming.  I'm really looking forward to my visit and meeting with all of you.  

I'm not so sure about the "genius" part of Lee's kind words, though.  More like, "moderately overweight doofy working stiff who got lucky after having a good idea."  I'll try to keep from boring you, though.  

Best regards

OK - still places available to Beoworlders - those who have PM'd already -  places reserved.  Replies to follow later today - I'm out and about for most of today.

Thanks to Dave and Lee for kind words earleier in this thread - from my point of view, its an honour to host such an event.

I've had a few calls re specific music - the intention is to play a variety of styles so the ALT range is heard accros most genres - I'm sure no one will like all of it, but everyone should like some of it, and the idea is to hear the abilities of the speakers to "play music" effectively, so I will probably have a predetermined selection of stuff to play on the night - without sounding too audiophile about it.

Roll on the 31st....

 

 

Only a few places left now - anyone intending to come along should get on the reserved list asap, to avoid dissapointment on the night.

In addition to the main event ( Mr Moulton and his tales of all things ALT ) our genial host Lee is also onfirmed.

As an added bonus, it is looking likely that the Beoworld January Prize Draw will be done live on the night - details tbc.

So its a one-off chance be at a "Live" Beoworld prize draw, in addition to our special guest.

Regards

David
