Once again, this year's HiFi Wigwam show turned out to be a great success. Held early in March at the Scalford Hall Hotel, Melton Mowbray (a location which has resulted in the nickname 'The HiFi Pie Show'), the 2012 event attracted a record number of visitors and has received some very favourable reviews in audio magazines.
The show has a unique format and is based on hi-fi enthusiasts demonstrating their own systems to visitors. From computer source to turntables, from brand new to rare classics, from big to small, and from no expense spared to tight budget - the incredible variety of equipment together with a complete lack of commercial constraints makes the show the perfect place to come and see just how good music reproduction can get. Whatever your taste in music and whatever your budget, the Wigwam show offers inspiration, enthusiasm and knowledge in abundance.
This year's show featured everything from massive home-constructed horn speakers, through active systems, to amazing vinyl setups and reel-to-reel tape decks - not to mention an incredibly broad selection of music. There are few places where Bach cello works can be heard alongside Austrian Death Machine! Once again the show raffle offered a big range of prizes from accessories and components, to complete hi-fi systems, all for just £1 a ticket. Full details of next year's event will be announced very soon. If you enjoy hearing music at its best, make a note in your diary and make sure not to miss the 2013 HiFi Wigwam show!
