Additionally, make certain that the placement accounts for the lack of magnetic sheilding so you don't get magnetic blobs on your screen. And Russ is right, the MX 5000/5500 has PL the same as the BeoLab 2500s, so you're set to go.

With regard to 4.24, my sources tell me that it isn't available yet on this side of the Atlantic. Do we think it's coming via Carrier Pigeon? Or is it a Euro-only update? Trip

You'd better drive a flat bed! The box contains the BeoVision 7 placed diagonally and is delivered on a pallet with the box strapped down. It requires the pallet to maintain enough structural integrity to move. Our store has a full sized van and it would not fit inside. We only transport them via freight carrier.

Bang & Olufsen makes one called BeoSystem 3. Wiring couldn't be simpler!

Peter, I think that your level of satisfaction with your BeoVision 5 is great! I think it can also be instructive to some other members who are either mulling over a new B&O video purchase or trying to justify our pricing. When you include high quality components, high quality materials & finishing, and great features, you get a product that

I think that perhaps a new CNN network is in order. Some international channel that can devote itself fully to this upcoming software update and keep 3 simultaneous scrolling tickers (each at a different speed, of course) updating the viewer on whether or not the software update has been released. Meanwhile anchors and pundits can discuss the forthcoming

Since this single "HD" video input is attached to the STB input (whether you're using it or not), it means that most users

I think that you will notice a small difference, however, the real issue will be the connection logic. The BeoVision 5, as a BeoSystem 1 variant, uses the RGB input for STB as opposed to allowing it to be assigned to another port. You will be able to connect your STB to V.AUX, though, and you should be just fine. Most of us with BeoSystem 1s, Avants

BeoJeff, HDMI 1.3 is actually a firmware update. It would not require a physical change. The mini connectors (which I assume you're thinking of) are only an option and will likely be used more for video cameras than on AV receivers. I understand your desire to wait, but the 1.3 upgrade should not present an issue. As for the BeoMaster 5, it will
