I too started with A8's, wow that is going to be such a beautiful stereo to own. What an excellent choice, having a BeoSound 4 with BeoLab 8000!! I'm excited for you!

moxxey: Beolab: I'm just little tired of hearing that the old BV 7-40 MKII are rubbish, and the new one MKIII is the best and more and more. No-one said that. The 'old' TV is still a quality TV. Even my old 2004 model BV7-32, with a HD source, is absolutely fantastic. Better than a friends' new Samsung 32". However, my BV7-32 only

Beolab: Do your homework before u wright some jealous bull **** next time in the forum tanks! Regards Fredrik L calm down son, this is a friendly community!

sorry, yes it's certainly a 1401 but the compatment is a 'dummie'... look behind the post it notes and there is a flap that opens to the left. there resides the compartment where batteries would go - in the beotalk 1400. i just bought a beotalk base and i wanted to swap the lids because my 1401 base has the current bang and olufsen logo... call me compulsive

Alex: I'd try it without the BeoLab 2 at first, and then add one if you really feel it lacks punch. I've found the BeoLab 9s to be far more capable in terms of performance in low frequencies (although maybe not as loud). For those of you who were confused about what I said, when you connect like this: PowerLink outputs --> BeoLab 2 -->

I had a pair of wireless senhiesers and they were shocking!

I'm trying to get behind the battery compartment to get the pins back in place so that the lid opens and closes properly (I accidentally knocked the lid off it's pins), I'll keep trying, and thanks for the reply, i just don't want to damage it!

I was fiddling with my 1401 base and i ended up taking the lid off of the thing. I looked for a service manual b ut couldn't find one, does anybody know how to get the thing apart?

This IS sad and disconcerting. We haven't really discussed Beoworld with our dealer in Adelaide, but they do go on the site, so maybe it is just some of the dealers this end of the earth...
