burantek: fleetwood mac / rumors lp thru a bg4002 --> bm4400 --> s45 sparkly, crisp, and delightful. My 'standard hifi test' album - excellently recorded, mixed and produced. Most importantly - excellent musicians performing excellent songs. A classic.

camshaft: Is there any good reason why that don't make the Beo5 operate the programmable and two-way features of the 90's systems?
