Whatever Soundproof! I'm gonna download that great music onto my BeoSound 6 and rock out! Maybe I'll throw on some Bose headphones so I can cancel out any noise that isn't that great music! (my browser won't let me insert a smiley face, otherwise you'd see one winking)

John, Who would you suggest make the panels? Considering there are only 4 other companies that mass-manufacture LCD panels for televisions (Sharp, LG/Philips, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, and AU Optronics), and we currently have the most favorable buying position with the brand that makes Sony and Samsung LCDs, I'm just interested in your technical

Awwwww. What a shame. As for the BeoSound 5 rumor, no it has not been cancelled.

The Beo 5 is the replacement for the Beo 4. There is no other remote in the pipeline. As for the software, you wouldn't want it at this point. It has the makings of a fantastic tool, but you have to understand in too much detail how a Beo 4 works to make a Beo 5 work. I agree that most people won't need a Beo 5, but once the software tool is

I don't know Flappo. I bought one of his timers last year and I think we must have bled him dry the first time around! I would like to see a new figure emerge the way David Lewis did, however. Maybe we can just steal Jonathan Ive and your Apple dreams can really come true!

SP, You're absolutely right. I may as well let the kittens out of the bag here, I work for Bang & Olufsen. When I deal with clients and visitors in the shop I find that their initial line of questioning when looking at a Beovision 4 is very traditional, i.e. what are the "specs" and generally balk at the price and remain incredulous

Terry, I think that this is a valid point. Considering electronics of any kind an investment seems counterintuitive, but I think that as the past is put further behind us, some of the gory details are being left out. It's the same way people recall the 1950s here in the US as a time when firemen rescued kittens from trees and the sun was always

Flappo! I'm sorry if I come off aggressively in these threads. Sometimes it's hard to convey our demeanor when we're typing and I'm not accustomed to using emoticons to reinforce my tone. My intention was definitely not to "take you on." I think everyone has a right to dislike anything they want, but these forums tend to become

I don't think that I need to put down Sony to praise B&O's strengths, any more than I need to put down American Tourister to praise Goyard. I've had a Sony TV and I liked it just fine, just as I've driven a Honda and thought it to be a wonderful capable appliance. Admittedly, Flappo, and not to be rude, but I can't figure out

I think that this is the thread we should be spending a great deal of time with. Television technology (which has captured our emotions lately!) will sort itself out naturally. What remains less clear is where content will come from, how we'll get it, and what we'll be able to do with it once it's there. iTunes, iPod, Apple TV, and whatever
