I know many on here do not visit the The Wam so as in past years I am starting this thread to give details of changes and news about the yearly show . The current owners of the The Wam forum have decided that they are not prepared to support the Show going forward . As a result those Wam members who formed the Show Team have decided they will run the show themselves. As the Wam Show is registered as a name this can not be used . So there will be a 2024 Show in the same spirit as the past for enthusiasts . The Show is looking to be self supporting and any small profit that may be generated will go in to funding the next show .
Also as a result a new name has been given the Maverick Hifi Enthusiasts Show which is a tribute to Paul from the Wam who worked so hard every year to make sure the show could not only be put on but also be enjoyed . All forums are welcome at the show either as exhibitors or visitors . The venue will remain the same Barnsley Holiday Inn . The date will as far as I know still be October . However as this is a new venture without any capital backing things may well change . I will add and new information when it comes .

As a one time exhibitior of my early incarnation of the 5 way horn system and one time co-exhibitor as part of the Monster-loony horn system, I am very pleased to hear it's still going.
If my system wasn't 500kgs+ inc amps etc, I'd happily do it again.

Also as a one-time exhibitor I would love to attend again (as a visitor) but I'll have to check depending on when it will be held.

Things are still moving forward for this show with all exhibitor rooms booked but if anyone is thinking about it there could still be drop outs nearer the day so worth getting in touch and being on the subs bench . As I mentioned I will be bringing my second system a three way active using MiniDSP , DIRAC Live and NVA amplification . Will also be using a Logitech Transporter as steaming player which is a decent step up from the SBT I was using . Have to admit that after a stand swap with the music room this system has not been put back together so will Have to get myself motivated and make sure it is fully working well before the day .
