fiogf49gjkf0d Thanks, guys. I got a few direct emails with various ideas. I am thinking to go in June, to escape the pre-Olympic rash. I do not know when and where, juts collection sensations at this point. I have no problems with non-audio part of the trip, end even it will be very much NOT audio travel I still would like to maintain the subject of this thread (alike the subject of this site) as strictly audio-related.
A site reader did send an email to me advising the listen Vox Olympian at Definitive Audio in Nottingham. That might be interesting as I never heard the Vox Olympian and would like to hear what is the story wit that Pinokio nose and what kind sound there were able to get from my S2 driver. I see two minor problems with that. If I drive from London to Ireland then Nottingham is not exactly on my way. So, I need to educate myself what kind non-audio interests I might have in Nottingham and I that hook. The biggest concern that I have is not my traveling itinerary but my fear that the show room in Definitive Audio is just a dealer show room. I do not want to see or talk with sales people but would rather to meet and talk with Kevin Scott, the guy who designed and voiced the Vox Olympian. So, I would like to hear his personal permanent installation of Vox Olympian, not the thing that they have in dealer room. In the dealer rooms the context of speaker, electronics, the room setup, the location of elements and many other important and sensitive things is constantly change, to reflect the demands of a new customer that come into the room and the agenda of the brands that need to be pushed. I have no interests in all of it and I would rather prefect to hear Vox Olympian setup by a guy who have only one listening environment and do it for own satisfaction not to please customers. I think that Kevin Scott might be the guy but at this point I do not know a lot neither about him not about his listening preferences or conditions.
Benard Haitink will be conduction LSO in Londo’s Barbican hall with Bruckner 7 and on June 25 he will be leading Royal College of Music at Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall with Bruckner 8, thanks, Gintaras. Both events looks attractive even thought I did not consider bringing a suite to the trip. In the past I did buying a suites locale and then ship it home after a convenient – very convenient and I might do it again. James, (op.9) are any interesting chamber event will take place in UK in June?
