"Easily the best sound at the show was in the Tom Tom Audio room, where a mid-range Naim system was driving an unusually squat, black loudspeaker that looked rather like a professional desktop monitor. It turned out to be the Quality Manager 10 from Swedish company Guru - for whom Tom Tom handles the UK imports - and was indeed originally designed as a pro-monitor. Wonderfully musical and capable of an entirely captivating performance, it also produced bass like no other compact speaker (using a four-inch driver) we've ever heard. The price might seem a little high for such a tiny cabinet, but we're sure nobody would think twice about paying £1,700 for a pair once they've heard them in action." Hi-Fi Choice, June 2008. "Tom Tom audio were spread over two rooms, one of which used a Naim SuperNait driving Swedish Guru QM10 loudspeakers to good effect. The other had Naim's new Superline phono stage fed by Avid and Scheu Analog turntables and playing through Naim amplification into final, production ready versions of the Kudos C30 loudspeakers first unveiled last year. The sound was excellent and the music selection even better - I spent longer than I should have done in there, listening to the Cure!" Hi-Fi World, June 2008 |

| Some Quotes from the Forums "Kudos/Naim was very balanced and musical and the Avid Diva seems to be an absolute bargain." "The 2 other systems which caught my ear were both Naim amplified - Tom Tom's first room with Avid TT and Kudos C30(?) speakers " "Tom Tom's Naims were rocking as you would expect and the cure on Avid deck with Kudos on the end was excellent, James was a good host too" "I agree the little Gurus were the standout product of the show I thought" "We really liked the little Guru speakers in the second TomTom room." "Well, I dropped by at this show this afternoon and the one thing that really impressed me was the Guru QM10 speakers" "Shock of the show was the little Guru speakers from Sweden !!
