[quote user="Mr10Percent"] [quote user="Russ"] I hate to seem thick...but won't most customers for BM-5 have their complete music library on the administrating computer?

I hate to seem thick...but won't most customers for BM-5 have their complete music library on the administrating computer?

So, given that BM-5 is at worst a sub-set of an existing library, isn't a 2nd or 3rd back-up awfully, awfully paranoid? Russ

Here Adrian!

[quote user="joeyboygolf"] [quote user="Russ"] Hi TWG, The 3200 ought to work just fine without the HDD, [/quote] I need to be persuaded that this is actually true. Will the BS3200 go through it's initialisation at switch on with a failed HDD? Maybe, maybe not. Can you comment Keith Saunders?? [/quote] Given the 3200's lineage

It sure is. Check the Store Locater at B&O's website for your closest dealer. Russ

As to the pre-amp output, see my previous posts. No that won't work. See, you keep adding information, and the situation changes: 8 RL speakers is going to be a somewhat different thing. I presume that your using both speaker 1 & 2 at the moment for the first 4 speakers; and that'll have to change. The MCL network uses the Speaker 2 output

And don't forget the BeoMaster 5 is expected to support NAS drives as well, so the EtherNet connection on the back is the interface of the future.

Well, see now, that's a very different thing. Once you're onto an MCL system, what you'll want is the MCL starter cable, some MCL cable to make the run to the other room, an MCL-2/AV, a fully wired PowerLink cable, and your Amplifier. That all makes perfect sense. You'll have a little bit of leeway in the volume levels between the 2

Hi TWG, The 3200 ought to work just fine without the HDD, although I've not seen one fail yet. In that instance you're taking no greater risk than someone buying an original BeoSound/System 2500 and wondering what would happen if the CD drive failed...or the cassette deck for that matter. B&O seems to take care in choosing the elements in

That is the conclusion I reach from this, although I'm not certain what the practical limits are on the other 2 connections.
