Peter: Actually it does mean each speaker has two modules, one for the woofers and one for the tweeter. Two things though: 1. This is again power in rather than power to the drivers - think nearer 60 to 70W per module. 2. Try putting even 60W through a 1.8cm tweeter and see what happens! On an other hifi thread I follow the owner of a pair of B&W

I've been vacillating between B&W and B&O myself, and as you can see above went as far as to run them against one another. Following that informal "test" I have been listening to BL5s and BL3s in lots of various setups, and my ears seem to really appreciate what the acoustic lens can do with music. I haven't spent enough time

I'll trundle out the warhorse comparison photo again: What you're seeing on the ground next to the B&W is a quite expensive Classé monobloc amplifier which the 800D requires to get going. They were set up in an acoustically perfect environment. The BL5 held its own, but there's absolutely no reason to think that the B&W is

Beolab: Moxxey: I was just a little bit angry because not a single person in here have congratulated me for my purshase...(MK II) I just felt that everyone just came up with bad things about the BV 7-40 MK II instead.. I mean if you want to say negative things you can put it in a nicer tone.. I seem to remember that thread. I got the feeling that people

Peter: However don't worry! Apart from when you are outside and need a lot of power, most of us listen at about 1 W ! I know. Someone told me I would need at least 250W to drive my Dynaudio speakers in an adequate manner. Which turned out to be rubbish - the Beomaster 7000 handles them excellently. And I have seen huge speakers deliver wonderful

Linkwitz is a thorough professional who has been behind some major audio developments. He argues strongly that room acoustics can be modified using ordinary furniture and an interplay of soft and hard surfaces -- making it possible to achieve satisfactory listening conditions without turning a room into an obstacle course.

peacha: thanks all, any reason why B&O dont seem to get 5 stars i what hifi reviews? the BL3s look good, have you heard then? B&O lose out in the final analysis in such reviews, due to the price of the units. You'll read quite a few reviews that declare "xxx is one of the best --- I have heard, but at that price it better be."

So not 110W? What happened? They just changed the way they measured the amp's? Not the amp's themselves? I went by the ratings on the product sheets here on the site -- "buyer beware!"

I doubt that B&O calibrated their sound setting indication to the levels of the 5500 when configuring the 7000. There are others here more knowledgeable than me on the topic, but I have owned both systems, and have both a Beomaster 6500 and 7000 now. The 5500 was 2x60W at 8 Ohms; while the 7000 was rated at 2x110W. Which means there can be little

jk1002: >>The NAS does should show up as a Shared or Network Storage.<< No coverflow though. Check out the media streaming section in the infrant support forums. For movies it doesnt do that yet, however this is not super critical since Front Row pulls in whatever is in the movie folder, even if there is an alias inside, it follow its path
