>>Not sure about the other stores in the US<< I have been to the one in San Francisco, they did not have the SIm but the 65" plasma and II have to say I wasn't bothered at all by the size of the living room even though it was tiny. I think when they start with projection, that might be a different point. The beoliving should have

Got mine in the mail as well. I actually did never get around picking up catalogs myself in the store over the last years so that they mail the mags now is a nice surprise. I will read it over the weekend with a coffee at starbucks I guess ...

I came home just now ... the new B&O magazine was in the mail ... courtesy of the columbus ave store in nyc. Thanks guys. looks very nice, will skip the sunday times and read this. Cheers JK

It is very much worth a try, I walked the same way and am happy with it. Please let us know how it goes ...... JK

Did you check if the PC output volume is set to max? I had the same issue, even at max volume it was noticeable weaker then any other device. My solution was to buy an airport express .... that somehow sounded way better and it didn't have the difference in volume when switching from radio or cd to aux. Cheers JK

I travel a lot, I love music and I am watching TV series while in the gym. My 80 gig is packed. If I would plan and manage it better, yes i could live of 10 or 16 but to have everything at my fingertip is quite nice. Fo rmost though, I agree 16 should be fine. JK

>>Has anybody ever considered using the Lutron Grafik Eye as a stand alone device instead of building it into the wall? I would connect a couple floor or side table lamps to it. Crazy idea?<< Thought about that too after I saw a Lutron on the Wall in the NYC Columbus Ave store. I think it's possible, it's just very ugly to look at

>>> On the BV8-32, looking from the front (as you would with a TV), it's a large and fairly obvious logo<<< I haven't seen the BV8 in real live, I thought though that the logo is only visible from a certain angle so you wouldn't see it when looking straight at the TV. JK

I think the BS9000 will become something like the Barcelona Chair - never ever go out of fashion unless CDs will go away. Then it's off to the museum. A colleague said it is not a CD player but a conversation piece ...... which nails it .....

Yes, congrats. Treat them with respect and never ever mention in front of them that a pre used set of BL4000 might be a better deal ....
