Very disappointed !
Posted by: phosphocreatine on 16 October 2015
On the Naim Audio Facebook page appeared the High End Swiss 2015 event so, due to the fact that I was in Zurich for the Diana Krall concert, I took the car, drove for 1/2 hour, paid the parking of the Hotel Moevenpick (the hotel of the audio show), paid the ticket of the show to discover that ...... Naim is not present at this event 
I can understand the disappointment, but it is just the continuation of the last years, where visitors declined more and more and many distributors didn't show up anymore. I was last year at the show and there the swiss distributor discussed with me the discrepancy between their cost for the show and the number of visitors that showed up. If this tendency continues, soon there will be no Swiss High End any more, which seems to be in contrast what happens at the Munich High End.
The Swiss distributor for Naim seems to invest now more in road shows at their dealers
And by the way, there was/is a list of all brands at the show which was on the homepage of the Highendsociety since several weeks.
Typical Swiss customer service attitude.
Why don't they actually promote the show instead of letting it die? I had no idea that it even exists.
Well no, the Swiss High End is actually not Swiss but organized by the German High End Society. So who ever has to promote it remains to be seen.
But still it is a pity what's happening. Munich is not so far away from Switzerland, maybe people prefer to spend some days in Munich (which really is a beautiful city and has excellent beer
) than visit a show where many important brands are not displayed (Naim, Devialet and many others)...

Munich has no beer, it is garba...
and Munich is not beautiful to me at all.
And quite certainly it has nothing to do with the Swiss fine culture,
doubt that some Germans tried to organize the event in Zurich.
You got to be kidding..

Check the name High End Society and do some research before you trumpet your thoughts

No need for research on beer.
Hey keep smiling, the trumpet is with Miles, because he can play.
Just had a little hick-up,
Munich and Switzerland has absolutely nothing in common.
And what ever you say it will never even come close...

Before I forget, no wonder the Zurich event f..ced up under German Management.
This German nation has lost all sense proportions in my opinion.
Look at your beautiful Mrs. Merkel.
Keep smiling

Yes I realise that it is organised by the same people that organise Munich. But they are still dependent on Swiss distributers having a positive attitude. Which they don't.
I had an interesting surprise on Saturday. I found a new bar near HB that had 24 different beers from all around the world on tap. They will get many a repeat visit.
Best from ZH.
