Wow you've heard them? My goal is to own a pair and modify them! I have the cash, but just can't find any (apart from lifestyle av which i fear will cost me slightly too much after shipping here) The next best step would be to get 8000's from the dealer, but i don't think they will look and sound as good as the 1's

I wish i knew what Beolab 1's sounded like! The second hand price is better than a new pair of 8000's and i'm sure they sound more realistic...

Personally, i enjoyed them 'toed in'. The soundstage seemed to snap into focus. I had them either side of the computer screen. Another good place for them (to my ears) was on a bench right up against the wall with them separated by a couple of metres... You would be amazed at how important speaker placement can be is when it comes to what reaches

Oh, thank you!

The BL2500's are good sounding loudspeakers if placed correctly, they can really kick out the sound!

Oh thanks, That helps me decide! Yes well i'm using a basic Philips DVD recorder at the moment and i fear i'm missing out on the picture and sound that my setup is capable of! I think it would be alot wiser to go with the acclaimed Denon, also much cheaper. Look, i don't use a remote with DVD's, as all you have to do is press play and

I'm just getting some BL8000's from france and i'm slightly concerned about the 10V mains differnce, as they are made for 230V input - our power supply here can be up to 240V. Am i going to need a protecting product, or transformer? Or is it safe? Thanks so much for any tips

That's an utter bargain!!! If it's all in good nick that would probably all go for around 800 pounds - i'll bet you're hoping it isn't 'hot'?

Hi! I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the picture performance for a B&o crt TV, of the DVD1 compared to a non b&o player such as a denon. Is DVD1 worth 295 pounds? Cheers

flag: I have a pair of Beolab speakers and wish to connect to a non B&O amp that has no pre amp (phono) outputs. Is it possible to bypass the internal amp by picking up some of the connections on the 8 pin DIN plug, is there another way or do I have to look for another amp? Hi! In a word, no it is not possible to by-pass the amplifiers of the Beolabs
