Hi BeoWorlders,
Is anyone else going to the Hifi Wigwam show in Stoke on Trent, UK this Sunday? Here are some pictures I took at the 2019 show, it is well worth a visit!
Full info at the link below, not sure how much B&O will be there this year:-
See you there! Kind regards Steve.
27 September 2022 at 13:08 #39335I’ll be at Tonbridge at the Audiojumble, sadly! (Stalls 13 &14 if anyone is visiting!)

28 September 2022 at 16:20 #39336Hi Adam,
That looks like an interesting event, but I can’t risk missing the infamous Hi-fi Wigwam Show!
Am I right in thinking that you exhibited a B&O system there a few years back when the show was at Melton?
Kind regards, Steve.
29 September 2022 at 13:09 #39337I did indeed and a mix-up by the hotel meant that I was allocated the smallest bedroom in the place – barely bigger than a broom closet.
Luckily I didn’t take a big system with me. Only a Beogram 8002, Beocord 8004, Beomaster 8000 and Beovox MS150.2s! It still sounded fantastic, though – I had lots of compliments and I think I converted a few B&O sceptics. One chap in particular came back around 5 times during the day and kept telling me he’d never heard B&O before and it was the best thing at the show!
Obviously he was quite right….

Thanks for letting us know about this event. I went yesterday and had a thoroughly enjoyable day.
I think it can best be described as a classic car show for Hifi enthusiasts. An amazing array of systems and budgets all sounding very different. Proved to me that simply throwing money into equipment doesn’t guarantee a great sound.
It was reassuring to come home to listen to my trusty Lab 5’s. The sound they produce is, to my ear, better than anything I had listened to all day.
3 October 2022 at 13:24 #39339Hi BeoBang,
Goad to hear that you enjoyed the show! I agree that it is very hard to match the power and quality of Beolab 5 with a regular audio system, but there were some good systems at the show.
I will follow up with a video of the show later this week.
Kind regards Steve.
