I will have to agree with kokomo that many of the tracks suggested are unsuited as reference material, due to excessive processing/post-production/lack of dynamics, etc. The three tracks I suggested all have different properties relative to BeoLab playback. I've personally chosen to go with B&O's acoustic lens equipped speakers (BL5/BL3

And the search function here is quite fancy, too. http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/thread/56821.aspx

Is your library in the right place in your User folder on the mini? My Touch and iPhone find both the Library in AppleTV and the Mini without any problems. Both are on the same WiFi. Sure the iPhone is on the right network? You might want to reconfigure the network from the start, at any rate.

Did you ever post photos of the white BL3s?

Well - Hotel California is string and voice, and a good choice. Played to death by B&O dealers. But it would be nice to challenge the speakers more, with greater dynamics and variety, wouldn't it? How about a 52 years old recording: Duke Ellington's Newport 1956 recording. Play Diminuendo in Blue, Live, and you'll have your B&O speakers

Hi Olof, Puncher here has had good experiences with one, and David Moulton (who developed the acoustic lenses and worked on the BeoLab 5 speakers) has tried out another DAC with very good results on B&O's speakers. http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/post/96860.aspx I'm using a Grace m902. You might want to consider getting a DAC which also

Having a fixed connection is good, and using the Airport Express will give you potential, full CD-resolution. However, you'll find that you'll have to turn the volume of the signal down quite a lot unless you want very loud volume. And the disadvantage with that is that you could then be reprocessing the signal inside your MacBook before it

I have run iPod signals analog to both the BeoLab 3 and BeoLab 5. My impression is that these speakers are extremely revealing, and that the small Wolfson DAC inside my iPod is no match for loudspeakers capable of such high detail - there's a definite graininess to the sound, particularly with low-resolution mp3s. But it's fun ... You'll

Nifty unannounced feature - you can use your iPhone or iPod Touch virtual keyboard to enter text into AppleTV. http://www.macrumors.com/2008/07/19/iphone-remote-acts-as-wi-fi-keyboard-for-apple-tv/

There is a PocketPedia app(for movies, cds, etc.) ... but I don't believe it can trigger play. Actually haven't gotten to trying it out yet, though I've downloaded it.
