You have an email Martin Chris.

That's what I heard Olly. As Graham has mentioned above this will cause them to work for a limited period of time until the charges last less & less before falling off the edge. Again I am only stating what I've heard a few times so it isn't from 1st hand experience. I have no reason to dispute it & I cannot think anyone would simply

Just needs connecting to THIS & away you go.

The compact ones have always done much better than the standard bigger versions. Easy to see why as they are much more contemporary with modern designs. Chris.

I have owned both & they are identical except for the lack of RDS in the 6500. All other specifications are exactly the same. Chris.

You need a 5 cell, 6 volt Ni Cad battery pack (Ni MH batteries will work for a while but not for long apparently). I'm not sure if B&O can still supply these, but they will be expensive even if they do. I would suggest obtaining a battery pack from another source (eg a model shop) & swapping the plug connector. Chris.

Original A8's were never supplied in black boxes so now even the fake boxes are up for sale. Ironically, the fake boxes are the only bits which are (IMO) better than the originals. Chris.

[quote user="Razlaw"] Dealer also brought a Beolab 2 to try with my Beolab 1s. That made a huge difference and I will be considering one of those. [/quote] That doesn't surprise me at all. I find Beolab 1's remarkably bass light given thier size - Penta's (which BL1's were supposed to directly replace) outperform them easily

[quote user="Step1"] I think the email system might have put people off a little, if you could have a little box to enter a user name that would have gained more results maybe...? Also a countdown timer would have added a little urgency, but maybe I am getting a little silly lol! [/quote] AAARGHH sensible people & suggestions have no place

Like your new Avatar Eugene - much warmer than your previous one Chris.
