Quite nice, isn't it? With the iPod in place one gets Monolith associations from 2001. My preference goes to the black BeoSound 8, though.

I don't quite understand what you want to do. L/R Front carries a specific signal which contains sound effects and some voices.

Here's what you need to do. Place the amplifier upright, on its left end. Put something underneath it if you want to avoid any scratches to its surface

I'm listening to a recording of Beethoven's 6th from 1927 right now - probably done with wax. Sound quite good, actually. But then the music is good.

I recommend experimenting with this. The Application is free for a trial period (Pure Music), the EQ-capability is in-built in OSX: http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/t/36369.aspx I'm now making the assumption that you are using a Mac in your playback chain and can therefore use this. I have BL5s, and have used this to straighten out a room-induced
