Rather negates the point. Not sure about this amplifier, but quite a few of the cheaper valve amplifiers have a solid state pre-amp and a valve power amp.

Maybe a vintage speaker like the Beovox 2400 - easy to drive as valve speakers do not produce a lot of power.

The Jarmans get them at a reduced price, but this is still more than some internet prices! Clearly neither Lee or the Jarmans can sell these at a loss.

I take it that they are fine connected directly to the Avant? If so, there is an earth problem somewhere! And no you are not fussy - mine did the same initially - fixed with a new Beoport box - thanks Newcastle.

I confess to having 4 Macs myself! PC at work but this is enforced!

Enough!! This is a B&O site and Mac vs PC arguments can go elsewhere. They are both just computers after all. The sentiment of the thread is I believe fair. A greater percentage of B&O owners seem to have Macs that the general population which in my view is not surprising as they do have similar values of design, integration by doing things

Yes - or if it very old, A.Tape2.

The Avant should be fine with N.Music. Agree with above - it may be set to just get video commands. Mine is in a similar set up and is perfect.

I like the Beolink 7000 a lot but these remotes are ageing now and are becoming much less reliable. The Beomaster 7000 is good though and I would suggest a Master Control Panel 6500 to operate it. This does not have the ability to work the TV as well but I doubt that is something you want. It is however much simpler and more reliable but will still

I take it that you paid more than that! In the UK there is legislation to stop the customer from being ripped off. I imagine that similar laws exist in Denmark - you complained in a timely manner so you should be entitled to a refund.
