I had trouble concentrating a while ago. Angelina Jolie and a Beocenter 9500 with two BeoLab 8000s were sharing the same scene.

Let's be fair to the BV8. It works perfectly together with my Beosystem 6500 and a BeoLab 2000, with MasterLink - which means it is nicely integrated with B&O. It is also designed by David Lewis, and is uncompromising when it comes to the speaker bar, which is there to ensure better sound - this it delivers, true to the B&O ethos. Which

I own a Beo1 remote. Everything about that product is wrong, from a B&O brand elements point of view. That gets my vote. A perfectly useless bit of nonsense that causes more irritation than solution. And I also suspect it's something of a miffed designer's joke on management:

There's a fan inside the tv - it engages when it is switched on. Very low noise. Is that what you're thinking of?

The only reason you'd want one, is if you're integrating with non-B&O equipment and not going the Lintronic or similar route.

There's a reason why HBO signed with Apple yesterday - they're going to be offering all of their shows on ATV when they are released on DVD; and there's a reason why all the

Well, I caught the two gnomes in suits seated on the bench on the terrace, but I missed the Irish leprechauns on each side of the entrance to the house. This is beyond parody. They're probably giving the reclining cement doe a hungry eye!

Clearly not decorated with resale value in mind! Finding someone with equally particular taste will be a challenge. Anyone notice the two "gnomes with suits" sitting on the bench outside? It's as if they wondered how to cap the phenomenal work performed inside. When I was house hunting a few years ago I came across a residence that had
