Hi guys, I'm about to buy a Beosound 3 for my kitchen. Any other users? First I thought about a Beolab 2000, I've had one of these and they're great, but it's pretty big, and of course need the beolink. I don't have a need for CD playback in my kitchen so Radio and my wife loves her MP3's so that is also covered. I used to have

But if the Beosound 9000 don't play the MP3 format nor Lossless (still compressed) it doesn't matter what media you are using.

The speakers he's going to use are Gradient 1.1

The Beosound don't play MP3 nor the Lossless format to my knowledge. The only way to get it to play MP3 or lossless is to convert them to the redbook format on a CD? Otherwise connect your MP3 player to the AUX input using a DIN->RCA adapter.

Never mind, I found them.

Thank you Steve, What was the name of the speaker cable plugs? There was a link to eBAY awhile ago.

Congrats! I still consider myself fairly young, at 27, and I got my first b&o when I was 15. It was a Beocenter 2300 with beolab 2500 speakers. Man I was a happy teenager!

Hi guys, Posting this question for a friend of mine. He may buy a Beocenter 9500, and is wondering if he can use his 4ohm speakers with it? Thanks Andreas
