LOL of course i'm puuling your leg ;) i even know the weight and specs on each and every Beolab in the current range *sad i know* I'm Jealous! You must get the B&o panel ;)

SWISS_2: It's quite simple. Take the remote away from them. Yeah! They forgot to put that in the service manual!! Naughty kids don't mix with B&o at all lol

EEK! The wire-fairy is well over due at your place!! Great speakers you have there though, who are they by? BS3 with sony panel, how's that working for you?

Yeah and i understand how that all works, so on paper, it make utter sense... especially when DIG out is offerered on products like BC2 and BS9k. What i am curious to know, is, is there a discernible difference?? Somebody ought to try it. When i acquire BL5's, i may want to keep using the Beosound 4 - does anyone with BL5's also have a BS4 to

bayerische: Dave: BS4 is in fact (ask B&O themselves) the highest quality CD player in the current range. And now you're telling me after I just bought a BS9000 I actually (must admit) that I looked at the BS4 a little, but since it lacks digital out, I didn't find it reasonable to use it with the Lab5's. But it's true, the BC 2300

The BS4 is much better quality than the ouverture (i used to have one along side it but became fed up with it's poor quality compared to the BS4). It's power supply hums, it has an unpleasant plastic creaky body and the rubber buttons are very old fashioned. The BS4 buttons have nice feedback, the entire body is soft to touch, the wheels are

bayerische: The BS 2500 or BC 2300 and their successors are wonderful. What a design statement when launched, and still are today! The BS 4 is in my opinion ugly. It doesn't belong in the B&O lineup. It looks like something of a B&O rip-off. The lab 3's are truly great. The lab 3's with the 3200 would be for me a nice second system

foamywax: wow i'm surprised that you don't like the beolab 3 speaker at all...i haven't heard them so i can't say if i like them however i really do think the beolab 4000 speakers sound great and it seems that they are a favourite here...so the acoustic lens technology isn't so great you think? if the design of the 3200 is 25 years

BeoSound 2 has become one of favourite pieces!

Maniax: For me personally, after spending 2 hours at the B&O showroom listening to a wide range of music, including pop, piano, orchestra, new age and rock, I had a headache, and so did my partner. The volume wasn't at unbearable levels, and at I honestly didn't find the sound I heard directly offending. Could this be due to listener fatigue
