[quote user="folkdeejay"]yep - nothing beats a big soundstage, with depth, space and a sort of effortless sound - particularly for music ...great results can be had, somehow greater than the sum of the two pairs ....heard this in a few rooms, and I have to say, I would try this before putting in rears every time. [/quote] 100% Correct, perfect

[quote user="magnetron"] Has to be this:- [/quote] Very cool! I have an Accutron lying around somewhere...

DJ, I agree with you. My large system is setup with 4 three-way main loud speakers. I have to say - the soundstage/image is absolutely incredible. I would suggest to anyone with an extra pair of speakers do this. My new favorite entertainment is watching concerts on DVD, I feel like I'm there.

Thank you gents! They sound absolutely incredible Peter. Indescribable really. Andy, my gold strips are actually in relatively poor shape and replacement would probably be the only way to improve them. If anyone would like a pair of BVS35 fret badges they are more than welcome to them. Just send me a PM!

[quote user="Evan"]When I get home I will get some pics asap![/quote] And here they are! Recovered the frets last night, not entirely thrilled with the results... Anywho, I photographed outside for good light but its a very gray day here in Ohio Mind you, they were very good examples to start with and I did not sand, only waxed.

I polished my BM3000-2 and BVS45.2, both in rosewood/palisander. When I get home I will get some pics asap!

[quote user="TripEnglish"] Not to belabor the point, but: [/quote] Sold! See you there Trip!

[quote user="burantek"] [quote user="Evan"]You did see Cannonball Run didn't you?! [/quote] See it? H3ll, I was in it! Captain Chaos! [/quote] From now on your signature shall read: "Dun dun duuuhn!"

Washington D.C. Logan Circle is a nice place to check out. I'm pretty sure every single product was out on display, very impressed. They even have a full BeoLiving setup.

Avoid Simply Speakers. I bought some rings from this web site and it looked very promising but the measurements were off by at least half of an inch! They list driver model numbers but it doesn't matter - way off. However, dustcaps and other pieces were delivered as promised.
