marcus: David: ... but no one in adelaide understands true style, I respectfully beg to differ. I'll re phrase... 99% of the people i've come across so far. Hey i forgot about those cases, maybe if i get one of those i'll be able to keep using it and stay sane for the next 8 months!

Sometimes it's nice being naive. The attributes of the BL5 are of course infallible and truly exilerating. For the money i've spent so far, my satisfaction level with our setup is high enough to be able to say all this. The quality of these CD's was top notch with incredible dynamics. Therefore, the best sound I've ever heard from our

You say to yourself pardon?! Thats not right, no comparison... Well, to my ears i'm truly astounded everyday at what the BL4000's reproduce.

In answer to your question, I highly doubt it. The Market for this would be as ultraportable as the device. Get a beosound 3 or 1 if you want to take music with you!
