Administrator Marc Posted October 16, 2014 Administrator Share Posted October 16, 2014 Well it's that time of year again, the 2014 show starts today. Needless to say many are excited including myself. I'm gearing up to cover as many, if not all rooms if possible. Please use this thread for your reports, photos and anything else show related. This link will bring up all 2014 Australian AV and Audio Show 2014 content published on the website over the course of the next three days: http://www.stereo.net.au/tag/au+audio+show+2014 Let the games begin ...... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just the foyer. What were you expecting, 3 people to turn up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearmint Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Well then you'll be missing a lot. That's just the foyer. What were you expecting, 3 people to turn up? Then that's my loss. If they don't have venues available to accommodate large numbers of people at one time comfortably, then I'm basically not interested in attending. Which I may add, is why I've not been to any previous ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 There is always a queue when it opens. Later on you just walk in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucmor444 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Disappointing show IMHO - lot fewer exhibitors and was hoping for an Atmos demo. Kryon Audio was probably best sound for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxon Hall Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I always find it interesting and instructive reading or hearing people talk about why they do not attend things. I will be going tomorrow and I always look forward to it. Obviously it is never going to be ideal acoustically but where else can you see so much great gear in one spot? If you are just interested in listening in comfort then something like the sessions at the Burwood Music Centre would probably be better. I will get around to going to one of them too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaynin Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Im taking the missus on sunday and she asked if there would be many women going and I said yes of course women love Hi Fi. I took my wife last year. This year i said (enthusiastically), "Hey, the show's on again in Melbounre, want to go again?" She said, (unenthusiastically), "I'll pass". At least she tried...

Whites Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I hope everyone enjoys it. I went to the last two and enjoyed both. Unfortunately couldn't make this years. Looking forward to lots of photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENIGMA Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Far out, What is this! An Ashley and Martin convention? Not only am i not able to go this year because of other family commitments - so far all is see are photos of the backs of bald heads and comments from people who complain about 30 blokes in a line make the show look crowded. Where are all the photos of the nice stuff. Marc, can you help please i'm suffering from nonattenditis.

Administrator Marc Posted October 17, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted October 17, 2014 I have to say, the show is very light - both attendees and exhibitors! First round of photos, mainly AV and Head-Fi. Saving the good rooms for tonight and tomorrow. Full Album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152384395437967.1073741836.184144182966&type=1&l=3ce4b8812d Selected images: + Darren Middleton (Powerderfinger) had a little bit to say about the current, and future music industry.

illusion Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The 2 stars of the show for me, one of them had me reaching for my credit card. Alas this is the only one in the Southern Hemisphere and it's leaving the country on Sunday. The AirForceOne looked strong enough for me to sit on and not disturb the music. A beast. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essem Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Im taking the missus on sunday and she asked if there would be many women going and I said yes of course women love Hi Fi. Some women do, there are even a few of us hanging around here. Amazing really, given the... err, lets say, um, ah (how do I put this...) -- lack of gender inclusive sentiment on display in the choices of avatar by a tiny minority here (see start of thread: unclemac and candyflip, yes, I'm looking at you). Just sayin. Edited October 17, 2014 by essem 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
