I spy some N64 catridges in the closet there!

As far as the cabinets go, they are very similar (both sealed). The 9 has much more space than the 1, I honestly thought it would be the other way round. The cabinet principle is closed box on the Lab 1, but this looks very port-ish! Anyway, I would jump at a chance to own a pair of these and I thin you should go for it!

Don't the Beolab 1s have twin bass drivers? The 9s have a single?

Most people on here will describe the BeoLab 1 as bright, shouty, or similar. It probably wont have the upper detail of the 3s however. If you like volume and power, you will probably like them. The amps are a combo of class A/B and class D. The Lab 1s are a very good substitute for 9s, they both have the same amp configuration and make about the same

I've had both S45-2 and RL60.2 and I have to say, I would put the S45-2s up front. I will be doing it myself in the near future.

[quote user="9 LEE"] Well, thanks for that expert advice Gentlemen - the Shure SE535's it is then. Lee [/quote] Well, Lee, you "asked" for it! I'm sure either would work fine.

That must be the lift motor and transmission for the BeoVision 4-103

If you have to use your Beo4/5, then yes, a Lintronic box would certainly help. As far as the A/V switches, there are a bunch. Just do a search on google shopping. The most popular one seemed to be the RF-Link 4in/1out unit with IR control. I believe the model is AVS-41.

Wow Lee! Way to go! I would be am pretty excited about that too. Thank you!

Just be careful with your sanding, you dont want to sand through it!! Nice kit!
