Mr10Percent: wonderfulelectric: I do recommend a Parasound which has the latest digital equalizer and do have a high quality video processor built in anyhow, this will balance out the in room sound and picture quite nicely. BTW with the Digital equalizer activated, you should restore the Beolab 5s to it's original sound settings because you don't

You will have no 5.1 either way with a surround processor or without one cos you only have a pair of loudspeakers and a subwoofer. Maybe you can use the current B&O system in your bedroom or study etc... And just get an affordable set of surround speakers from Anthony Gallo and pair it up with a denon receiver? If I am not wrong, the demand for

KingOfSnake: Hi, I currently have a Pioneer Kuro which I use with a Beocenter 2 and Beolab 3 speakers. Couldn't turn down a pair of Lab 5's at the weekend - being delivered tomorrow! - and want to use these as fronts moving my Lab 3's to the rear. I know I need a centre speaker to complete a 5.1 setup but has anyone got any recommendations

Oh Beosound 2. My first MP3 player. Anyone knows a good way to get rid of the scratches?

Ermm.. Measurements actually plus if you compare B&O with other high end speakers you do realize the elevated treble. Measurements of Beolab 9s are posted in the review of the loudspeakers in HiFi news I think. Anyways I think it is sorta of a known fact that B&O's signature sound is the elevated sense of crispness.

Alex: Agreed! Many speakers which some believe offer amazing 'transparency' (such as the JMLab Utopias, which are fantastic speakers btw) are in fact just over-emphasizing the high-end a little. Maybe this is what members here are experiencing? Hahahahahha.... Excuse me. B&O is infamous for boosting the level of treble in their loudspeakers

Dave: If you apreciate the rich sound, then you'll love the 4000's. It very easy. GO the 4000's! In my opinion, beosound 1 has excellent sound potential, it is extremely sensitive to placement, but in general the BS1 is frustrating because it is weak, and doesn't like big rooms and being turned up loud. Yeah. Besound 1 benefits greatly

Alex: Rip a CD with iTunes into AIFF, WAV or Apple Lossless, burn it onto a CD at low speed, then rip disk images of both disks at the end and checksum them. The two will be identical. Modern CD drives (practically all from the last ~10 years) produce zero errors when reading even at super-high speeds. Even burners now rarely produce errors up to sensible

Alex: In all fairness I haven't physically used it yet! My observations are going from a number of sources who speak their mind. Not a single person I have spoken to about it has said anything negative. The descriptions I've had (which have been of much greater detail than are available anywhere online) tell of a product which B&O have really

beoberlin: wonderfulelectric: If I am not wrong, the Beosound 5 will allow you to rip at full quality, otherwise it will sorta defeat the purpose of a high end machine. How do you want to rip? There seems to be no disc drive at all... it´s just a digital jukebox. Regards, beoberlin OMG! I feel like a complete idiot now... How did I not know that
