    In case there's any confusion, you don't need to subscribe in order to enter the giveaway. It appears to be free for anyone to enter, no real strings attached.

    Doesn't even require a FB/social media account like so many contests these days seem to.

    I just tried the link and I got the place to enter when the link opened. It could be a popup that you have suppressed.

    So @OleBoot did you get your new KEF speakers and Shunyata gear yet?

    I got the LS50w's about 2 days after I got the email telling me I'd won. I also got a congratulatory email from KEF. KEF obviously donated the speakers. The Shunyata gear was to be shipped directly form TAS, I was told. After about another 2 weeks I emailed and asked when it might be coming, and then again after another couple of weeks, Felt a bit bad being too pushy for something I'm getting for free, but wanted to know the timeframes so I could tear down the old and ring in the new in the room I am putting this into. Finally was sent an email with a tracking number for the shipment and it's meant to be here tomorrow. Guess I'll send another email if I don't get the info on how the free Tidal Masters subscription works!

    Haven't hooked them up yet. Wanted to wait for the Shunyata gear to arrive so I only have to crawl around connecting things once!

    Congrats, it's nice to see somebody from here win this! Seems like you never hear firsthand experience of anybody winning these contests and it really makes you wonder if they ever choose a winner. Please give us a review once everything is set up. I'd love to hear how the wireless speakers compare to traditional setups.
