The speakers will be controlled via PowerLink if kkgd0298 connects the digital connection from his BeoSound 9000.

That's an old MCL link-eye. For demoing link-room speakers by any chance?

Jandyt: Alex, do you like Beolab 5s? No, don't be ridiculous. I hate the damn things

camshaft: Either way, are you trying to say that the 8000's are superior speakers to penta 3's? Austin Not at all - I'm merely saying that more drivers doesn't = better sound, it just = more sound.

It will work fine. Bear in mind a few differences in operation - • You will loose the bass/treble/loudness controls when listening to CD. • The sound will not go up and down as smoothly, so if you hold down the vol.up button excessively, you'll find the volume may suddenly jump up to the kind of volumes your house probably wasn't designed to handle

ben12345: Alex: Multiple tweeters are not beneficial, and the same goes for multiple midrange drivers. If anything, you make the sound worse by using multiple drivers if you listen on varying vertical axis. Sound from each driver will overlap and you'll get destructive and constructive interference leading to comb filtering and phasing issues. The

The 7-40 mk3 will improve the sound - entirely different sound processor to the Avant etc... A speaker can sound fantastic in one room, yet horrific in another. The B&O speakers, particularly 3s, 9s and most obviously 5s are less sensitive than most to placement due to their position switches. RE BL5s being better than BL9s - while the BL9s are obviously

j0hnbarker: I think that the Pentas are in a league above the 8000s. I've not heard them side by side, but I have heard 8000s loads of times and my own Pentas millions more, but I just think the facts stack up on the Pentas' side: 1) They were top of the line when sold contemporaneously 2) The Pentas have more drivers 3) Pentas have a bigger
