The company is Nakamichi. . they have some interesting design but are not near B&O in terms of quality. . I have had all kinds of equipment. To be honest. . .panasonic panels (the commercial lines) are close to B&O when used with a B&O processor (mostly because this is where B&O starts with there plasma manufacture) As far as speakers

I am very happy with mine. I used the Beolink Application but primarily use it with a Lutron RadioRA2 system .. . It works very nicely. .the RA2 can control the MLGW and visa versa. I recommend it to anyone. . .It's costly but essentially contains within it a home automation software program if connected to a lighting system. . .Much more affordable

Mates, I have a friend who has recently acquired a BS3,BL9s, and BL3s. . . He did not pick up a center channel and is trying to decide. . .as with most things.. . money has become an object after the above stated acquisitions. I have been helping him to look for a center speaker but have recommended a set of BL4k (second hand) as a center unit. . Any

To further the dialogue. My bv9 shows the PC as av5 but it is grayed out.

I have it connected to my ML network. I cannot get any control over it? Does it respond to PC commands over the network ?

Gents, I've got the bm5/bs5 connected to a bv9 as the dtv. I can get the bm5 screen but cannot control it. I've tried it with a 3.5mm cable connected to the control of bv9 and ir of bm5 and with no 3.5 mm cable. Any thoughts? Thanks

I have been informed that to use the BS5 as Audio Master NO you must you an active kit in the same room. I.E. I want the BS5 in a link room with speakers connected to it. The main room has a BS9k and a BV9 (the audio and video masters) So, apparently I must use an active kit on the ML network in the link room with the BS5 so I can hear music from it

I figured it out. . I had to put it in 'clean up' mode. . thanks!

I can't help but I'm wondering why you'd need two?

When you say 'copy' the playlists from iTunes. . what do you mean? are you able to set these as 'seeds' or assign them to colors? THanks MJM
