Being the only CanJam in Europe, I think this one addresses audiophiles throughout Europe...I reckon UK is a very small market and not worth the bother.

Well London’s population is 8.8 million, the largest in the EU (yes, for the moment!) and nearly twice as much as Berlin, the second largest. So...no, that’s not a small market.I reckon UK is a very small market and not worth the bother.

Well Sennheiser have been absent for a couple of years now. There is obviously a reason for that business decision.Well London’s population is 8.8 million, the largest in the EU (yes, for the moment!) and nearly twice as much as Berlin, the second largest. So...no, that’s not a small market.

You’re absolutely right, it’s a European Canjam really but what I’ve said about beats and pods is generally the attitude all over the UK, we need to spread the word, also enjoy the moment when you see the look on peoples faces when they hear music properly and for many that will be the first time they will hear music being played the way it should sound.C'mon, it is in London, but it's for all of the UK and beyond.

Yeah I wasn't intending to be 'London centric/elitist' (touchy out there, fellas?!!) but merely readdressing the point about it being a small market here...and just happened to pick the sheer size of the market within 10 miles of the event.
Take the point about Beats/image and the like too...true, from my experience, sadly. But I'm sure it's a generalisation and there are thousands of audiophiles here we don't see.
It will be huge event I'm sure and if certain manufacturers aren't there, they'll have their individual reasons.
I did wonder if this was a reason but I think the answer below sounds more likely.Dare I mention the B word? I don't mean our new illustrious leader Bumble Johnson either...

I was suggesting that the British audiophile market as a whole might be a bit of a dead loss. Perhaps as people's disposable income might be diminished by austerity etc.C'mon, it is in London, but it's for all of the UK and beyond.

Yeah, mainly Sennheiser UK not knowing their bum from their elbow. They have been hard work for years since certain people there left to move on to other things. Nothing to do with the market in the UK. They were present at Bristol Sound & Vision in February.
What you mean, Beats? Argh! I've gone and said it.Dare I mention the B word? I don't mean our new illustrious leader Bumble Johnson either...

Haha take it with a pinch of salt mate - from my end, I was only winding you up! I agree though, you regularly see on Head-Fi audophile meets for small cities in the US, I dont know if we could get 10 people in a room in Birmingham.
On that note, if there are any West Mids based audiphiles who would be keen to meet up and chew the fat, PM me and I'll see if I can organise something one weekend
