Gaz, Welcome to BeoWorld! Radio & CD + Vinyl... I'd recommend the BM8000 and a CDX from the 80's! For vinyl, add a 70's BG400x or 80's 8002! Look for some S120, MC120.2, or MS150 speakers.

Glad to know that all arrived safely, and that it was everything (and more) that you were expecting. My ears just aren't what they used to be, and the MMC was just not being used, so I am glad it has found a happy home

[quote user="beaker"]Here are the details of my newly aquired 5000 system[/quote] As offered to me: Welcome to the club! Have you had an opportunity to try it out yet?

Tough question! I like Mika's selection and I like Milton's idea for some diversity! hmmm... 1.) BL/BM5000 2.) Beolit 1000 3.) BG4000 4.) Any LAB Mondrians 5.) BL7000

Kudos from me too! Looks fantastic! Another one saved.
