Beobird: - Stop with the car-audio - Stop with the poor rebaged and pimped Samsung mp3 players - Stop rebranding Philips hdd's - Stop with the very very poor low-budget tv's (with the price of a high-end tv) without the modern connections, glasspanal and a rubbish picture. - Make a good Bluray player/recorder (thats exclusive !) - Send mr. Lewis

AT: redfresnel: In my opinion it's great that B&O has been careful with which formats to include in their systems. There has been much less formats in the past and it has probably been an easier decision with formats in the earlier days. But for example it was a good choice not make BETA recorder after VCR, even though beta is more proffesional

Personally, I think B&O should move away from the whole computer integration thing, and just offer the ability to connect to different software packages. A built in iTunes/WMP/WinAmp interface in say, the BeoSound 4 or BeoCentre 2 (with those great big displays) would be fantastic. The problem is, there are too many large companies like Apple doing

9 LEE: I think you'll find the tooling for making it, the design, R&D and marketing comes into play. Huge amounts of investment for what is essentially a low-volume product, and this really bites in cost terms! I'm certainly not defending the £6,800 price tag - but the margins are probably not as mind-boggling as you might think. However

Add me to the list

'Fraid to say I don't think you'll have a leg to stand on. The iPhone WILL work with your MacMinis, all that's required is that you update the OS (which isn't too taxing). Leopard, Apple's latest OS is much better than any of their previous OSes. The only thing which may be needed is a RAM upgrade, relatively cheap and easy for any Apple store to do

The design of B&O's speakers is not the issue. B&O has kept on producing 'different' and interesting designs (although I do feel the BeoSound 6 looks a little ordinary), which distinguishes them from the crowd. Whether or not you think the BeoLab 9s are ugly is personal preference, I personally think they look fantastic, and would choose them over the

I wouldn't want to use an MCL2P to drive a Cona, or any subwoofer for that matter!

iTunes 7.6 will be making an appearance, along with an announcement that Fox (I think) are going to start shipping DVDs with M4V files, so users don't have to rip the DVD, just transfer it straight into iTunes. Looking forward to it, I expect Leopard .2 should make an appearance too...

Switching the 7-1 for the 7-4 is a very smart move. Not only does it sound better in a surround sound setup, but it looks better IMO. Makes the BeoVision 7 look 'lighter'. RE keeping the 8000s, it's your choice, but I reckon you'll find the BeoLab 8000s sound 'dull' in comparison to the front speakers in your setup, and as a result, the rear channels
