Agree; I would go for the BL8000; looks great and impressing output. For some future more oomph you can always add BeoLab 2.

Agree with what has been already said and can only from my own perspective say that I've looked into getting a new TV-set but the price range that B&O has on the larger screen kind of puts me off. And so does the some of the new design of the products; while I have to admit that one often has to learn and like the new product design. For example

Well, there isn't any need to disable the IR reception since the BC9000 is located at 1st floor and the BS9000 including BeoMedia 1 is located at the ground floor.

One of the reasons why I actually bought the BeoSound 2 in the first place; being able to quickly switch the

Quick question regarding largest size of SD-cards that can be used together with BeoSound 2; I''m currently using 2gb but wondering if the unit support larger cards? B&O site state that 2gb is maximum,

But, regarding the API-mapping I'm interested of getting BeoPlayer / BeoPort to interact and work with Last.fm service to gather statistics on what I play.
