My Serene is on proud display open and docked on its charger on top of my dresser with the rest of my mobile hi-fi and electronic stuff. I use it every now and then now. Currently I am operating from a brand new HTC Inspire 4G.

I'm sure my Beomaster 3000 or a Beomaster 4000 could push a pair of 5000s pretty well. Size has never really put me off!

[quote user="Søren Mexico"] I use zone 2 line out to my computer line in, connected my BG 5000 to Phono in on the Onkyo and grab my vinyl to MP3 [/quote] Slick Søren!

[quote user="Søren Mexico"] Yes right, just checked, even if nothing is connected to Zone 2, it turns on, in the manual its says trigger 12 V only for zone 2.

[quote user="macjonny1"] Apparently when Bang and Olufsen needs stock...they call Leslie! When Leslie sneezes....Beovox 2500s fall out! We need to start a forum called "Leslie's closet...what's in there?" We can do a product release daily! [/quote] Yeah Leslie! Quit hogging all of the BV2500's!!

[/quote] It's not the speakers, it's the subheading the seller wrote that is funny!! [/quote] Yes I had a good laugh, don't worry. But seriously

Congratulations Nick! I'm sure it will perform wonderfully.

Does the Serenata support AAC or .m4a files? If it does, you will be happy with the quality. I think all iTunes downloads are 256kbps now if I'm not mistaken.

I would imagine the 7.4 would be much more capable of keeping up with your Pentas. It has 2x250w ICEpower amps and ALT! Miles beyond 4000s. But, I am just going off of spec sheets and things I have read on here. I havne't had the oportunity to listen to either - at all. Have a listen!

I was just grappling with .m4a fles last night. Mine are all from the Apple FLAC Lossless ripper on itunes. I picked up a new HTC smartphone yesterday and found out it plays .m4a files - but only kind of. One album played straight away, no problem. So I loaded two more albums on but no go this time. Sounds like the bit rate problem for me. The first
