Bingo: I hope B&O takes lessons from this. Pioneer sold much less then they expected. But due to their high prices compared to the competition and despite their better looks and picture quality, they didn't succeed. So If Pioneer can't with asking more then 5000 euro for a full HD plasma with stunning picture, can B&O still charge more

a2bur: Coolskin: English isn't my native language. So I tend to be brief. I like the fact this discussion has reached up to 7 levels aready. IMHO this is what a forum is made for. What's the record for most posts ? Richard That must be the "Is Soundproof an idiot?" thread, which never seems to run out of illustrative examples. Don't

The disadvantage with Audyssey is that it processes the signal, and therefore reduces its resolution a little; the advantage would be that it treats the entire frequency range relative to the room, and not just the bass. I can attest to the BL5s being able to move walls and floors. When we were watching the latest Bruce Willis Die Hard movie, and we

You're quite right, I stand corrected. Well, that suddenly improved my impression of Bravia - was told it was Samsung, and should have checked.

peterjacobs: Thanks Beoaus. I shall try them this weekend. Only problem is I understand it is not advisable to have a shiny reflective surface underneath the speakers ??.... Here is my room with speakers positioned. I have now brought them away from the walls by about 1.5 feet. The image is not coming up on my browser. Try storing it in jpg? Go to Options

Then decisions are being made fast. Just a few days ago they were downscaling and letting the plant the bought from NEC go but would go on manufacturing. The Kuro campaign didn't land enough customers, then. Too bad, because it will frighten off others who aim for the premium level of performance. How many remember SONY's Qualia range? Let's

Puncher: Just goes to show how much they're ripping people off I know you're aware of this, but it actually goes to show that their products are so attractive that people are willing to pay a premium to experience them. Apple - 1:6 Dell - 1:75 B&O - 1:12.5 (rough calculation)

No, I'm not sure. But there's a trend where home cinemas are getting flatscreens instead of projectors. (People are finding out what replacing the lamp on a good projector will cost them, repeatedly.) And I think Pioneer reckons that for their high-end screens to find a fit with a market willing to pay the premium, they should be aiming for

This report has it all wrong. Pioneer is discontinuing 42" plasmas, and is focusing on 50" and up in sizes, as that's where the market wants to go. For some reason a comment I wrote yesterday concerning this is in moderation, so I'll just do a quick recap. Pioneer will, however, begin offering LCD screens with the Pioneer name on them

jk1002: Going back to the Linn. That thing, that display is not a remote. Its a Samsung Mini PC. http://www.linn.co.uk/images/library/5bfc0a8c-.jpg So you buy a NAS and a notepad PC and that box. Well, we can always call it a distance commander, which is what B&O called their first "unit to control other units wirelessly at a distance"
