On my wish list! My MacBook Pro is great, but I'm finding it's an absolute pain to try and use it as a desktop machine and on the go. Not enough drive space for my iTunes music, but awkward to use with external HDDs (can't bring them with me).

I'm looking forward to this. Having recently got one of the new Nanos, I actually kinda prefer just carrying my favourite albums around with me, rather than my entire CD collection. B&O should come up with something similar to CoverFlow though, it's no way near as much of a gimmick as I first thought. I almost always choose my music through CoverFlow

This article reminded me why I love B&O. I was in a hifi store in Cheltenham yesterday, when the salesman made a passing remark about B&O, saying he thought the design was fantastic, but the performance was 'akin to a roberts radio', which I knew of course to be incorrect. However it did put doubts in my mind, I know you can get better performance for

That's the one

jazz: someone i know quite well has heard it and claims that the sound is quite amazing. Apparantly there is some software in the device that can upscale mp3's to cd quality. All of a sudden i' really excited about this thing. jazz MP3, or any other 'compressed' audio for that matter cannot be scaled back up to it's original quality. You can

Exactly as above, but make sure the BeoLab 3s have their switches set to 'line' mode. I'd also get an in-line volume control. I've just bought one for my BeoLab 4s, £3 from Maplins . My BL4s were way too loud, even on their 'reduced PC setting', BeoLab 3s would be absolutely deafening.

BeoLab 9s are not shielded, but LCD and Plasma displays aren't affected at all by magnetic fields. Try and get the speakers more than the width of the screen apart though, they'll sound much better...

Passive radiators are actually a very neat solution to extending a speaker's bass reproduction. They work very well on the BeoLab 3s for example, which have fantastically snappy and detailed bass, and the same goes for the RedLines which utilised one, they can work very well in practise. However, when they're tuned too low, and the combined weight of

Ease of use and quality! The HDR2 produces a (much) better picture than the DVD2, and it's much easier to use. Also gives you more features, with the ability to record digital programs (easily, unlike the DVD2). The DVD2 isn't the easiest thing in the world to use, I'll admit to finding it very difficult to use! I'd much more rather have an HDR2 and

It's a shame, but the BeoLab 2 is slow in comparison to other subwoofers out there, it's all to do with the tuning of the passive radiators on either side. The PV1 is much faster and snappier, although I don't think it goes anywhere near as deep or loud as the BeoLab 2. The BL2 is fantastic for movies and home theatre, but for music, it just can't keep
