  • Re: BeoLab 5 and a "phantom centre" channel

    Alex: soundproof: David: Soundproof. Take a photo of your set up and post it for us too see! Go on.........you know you want too. Cheers, David. Much rather see Dave's setup ... seeing five BL5s properly placed in a room of the right size and acoustics should be something. I'll do a shot tomorrow. There's a picture in the previous B&O

  • Re: BeoLab 5 and a "phantom centre" channel

    Dave Moulton: Soundproof's thoughts are quite interesting, and mostly valid, I think. However, I've just fitted a very high-performance HD projection system into my studio, and have been quite actively studying both film and broadcast audio in both stereo and surround, using five BeoLab 5s (I send the LFE channel signal equally to all five BL5s

  • Re: BeoLab 5 and a "phantom centre" channel

    Hi Marcus, didn't see your question until now. I've been using various. As I'm building from a Mac as media centre I haven't gone the entire B&O route, but am using BeoLab speakers. Have tried Linn's Unidisk Universal player, Rotel 1068, Primare SP31 (worst interface in the universe) and am presently using a Cambridge Azur 540R

  • Re: Cables - for the last time?

    Puncher: not so many years ago the same Hifi press that preach these expensive cables today used to recommend good old solid strand domestic 2.5mm2 twin and earth power cable! I read a fun article by one of the designers behind McIntosh amplifiers. He wrote that they used precisely such wire for their setups at conventions and demos, but they had to

  • BeoLab 5 and a "phantom centre" channel

    Having fun with my home cinema setup, and trying out different things. I've tried a BeoLab 7-4 as a centre channel speaker, and I have tried BeoLab 3. I've also fooled around with centre speakers from other manufacturers. "Trouble" is - I have BeoLab 5s as my front speakers. Which means that any speaker that is going to work with/against

    wirralsimon: Funny you should mention that. The thread linked to above starts with a fairly frank admission that cables don't make that big a difference but by the end of the thread half the participants are discussing what the flaws in the testing process were that meant that the test failed to spot the differences that do so clearly exit between

  • Re: Mac Mini.Tiger or Leopard?

    David: Have just found out that Airport Extreme will work with a PC not just a Mac. With this in mind would an itouch or iphone be able to access my itunes on my PC via the Airport Extreme? Would be great if this works because I wouldn't have to buy a Mac Mini. Has anyone ever tried this? Cheers, David. Remote Buddy is Mac only, and you'll need

    @francis I'm quite certain it's your low RAM that is causing the slowdowns, Leopard does want space to move. I have 2GB in my computers, and have not noticed any slowdowns.

  • Re: Cables - for the last time?

    Puncher: You can't be expelled for spouting common sense. Well, the temperature on audiophile forums can get quite high, and amazingly it's often common sense that is under attack. I particularly like the: "I can hear a difference, and if you can't then something's wrong with your ears" line of attack. Or when they state that
