mbee: soundproof: At present I'm using a Cambridge 540R v.3 -- I'm waiting for compact receivers with proper handling of the high-resolution audio formats on BR and HD-DVD. If B&O produces one that allows me to run without a centre channel then I'll be the first in line for it. Meanwhile, I'm astonished at the quality of the inexpensive

That's correct. But I just press the deactivate button on the top left of the Touch when I'm through giving a command. The Touch boots on again very quickly when you reactivate it, and it opens to where you were -- for instance the Now Playing window. Just wait a few seconds until the WiFi logo shows, and you're online again. You can also

Thanks. Found a link: http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/movers_and_shakers/article3136566.ece The journalist is quite astute, pointing a finger at B&O's essence and challenge: And that’s the thing with B&O, many still don’t know if the company is brilliant or barmy. Founded in 1925, tucked away in rural Denmark and

You'll need irTrans to send commands to your B&O and non-B&O Hardware. I haven't tried it out yet, but it appears that we're getting closer to the official release. Though the manual states that this is not a beta version, maybe alpha! Seems quite unfinished, and I've never used one before which means I have some figuring out

Not certain what Apple would or wouldn't do, Moxxey. But I do know that both Jobs and Ive (Apple's designer) are great admirers of B&O, both the products, the design lines and the business model. Like you I doubt that Apple would be interested in buying B&O, though - they've used the brand as inspiration for their own solutions that

bayerische: Lab5 are the first B&O speakers that have actually been taken seriously in the Hifi community. I won't get into the for or against aspects here, but will offer a slight correction to this statement. The BL3s, the BL5s and the BL4000s are considered to be prime audiophile speakers by audiophiles of renown and acuity -- with many actually

And now for something completely different! I watched this with friends just before Christmas, and we were amazed at how quickly three plus hours just flew by! It was so engrossing that I repeated the experience during the holidays together with family, and it left us all with smiles on our faces. Brilliant dts-sound, astonishing vocal performances

Must confess I'm very pleased with my centre-less setup with two BeoLab 5s as fronts -- as mentioned above, I'm getting a most solid "phantom" centre (a solid phantom!) As B&O setup doesn't allow for running without a centre-speaker, I'm using a non-B&O receiver, and since the amplifiers are in the speakers I only need

The Mac mini has a disc reader/player, and reads all formats of standard DVD/CD/CDR etc. It doesn't read the HD standard discs, nor does it read SACD. I don't think you'd hear a difference between a BeoSound 4 and a BeoSound 2300 player -- both would convey the musical signal to your active speakers through Powerlink, and it's the quality

moxxey: Hi Chris,One thing to add is that I've just been testing 300 this morning, which I have on SD DVD and blu-ray. It's really pixelated on the BV7-40, compared to the BV7-32 - the background is almost like one of those effects where you can turn a picture in to a 'painting'. It's annoyingly pixelated. Bizarrely, the blu-ray
