Members of Clarity Alliance also took the opportunity to display their latest products in the special Clarity Showcase, with companies such as Entotem, GIK Acoustics, Mitchell and Johnson, Cabasse, Heed Audio, Kleio and Parasound taking part.
And the highlight of the event was undoubtedly the exclusive UK preview of Queen: The Studio Collection on vinyl, involving playback of the 18-disc vinyl box set on a pair of PMC MB2 XBD-A speakers as used at Abbey Road Studios.
