Oh this is just great!

Ah very clever re: the lights! hehe i'm on the ball Of course, i didn't notice! The Beovox look in better proportion somehow. The BM8000 is reminiscent of the beosound 4, thats my opinion, very nice, and totally minimal for it's time. A corner would make the Avant seem slimmer so i see the logic. This would also be true with the other crt's

Waw, nice room, the avant is absolutely perfect there, and thats the first time i've liked the look of pentas... they look gorgeous The BV3 videostand is ridiculous, just like the BV8 video stand. Ridiculous, ugly. It's fascinating that the uplights compliment the B&O you have - wow! Looks really great. My set up is the total opposite to

G'day, welcome to B&O and a super forum to chat about it! Nice choice there, beautiful design. This topic is a popular one, i would say a big yes to adding a subwoofer to the 6000's. The question is, which one. Ask your dealer for a home demo of the BL2 and see what you think of the sound. The BL2 really is good in this situation, because

Graham1982: I suppose when I say garish I mean that as far as I am concerned the Avant is understated (although perhaps less so with the green/red variants) whereas the Beovision 3 design is such that you cannot help but have your attention drawn to it. I am finding it very difficult to articulate this so perhaps I am not making much sense. I will continue

Look into getting them fixed, and the panels replaced and selling them for up to f1500, if not, you won't get much for them at all, from your description they sound like a nightmare!

Oh far out! SO COOL! Hell, it looks like you fellas did a nice job there! I'll bet it was exhausting. Lets hope you can raise even more from the fluffy banger at an auction by the end of this for the NSPCC. All that womble will need is a good bath... hehehe Have fun today as you head off!!!!!!

Graham1982: In my opinion I would go for an Avant. Asthetically the Avant blends into the environment in which it is placed until you look at it. Whereas, if you have a Beovision 3 (again in my opinion) especially if on the stand, attention is drawn to it. I feel that you have to have modern furnishings for it not to look out of place. Whist B&O

Peter : and is almost as stylish as your AV9000 Are you being cheeky? The AV9000's design is absolutely amazing for it's time and B&O are still using most of it's design brief which says alot, but the BV5's design is incredible! Best looking TV ever IMO... If the ouverture is the unit that originally came with the AV9000, (MPAV9000

This is fantastic! Very good cause
