I agree with David. Bose are good at what they do, which is make sub/sat packages. However, they are no way near the same as B&O, in terms of build, performance and design. The current B&W subs are all very good speakers. The PV1 is one of the most highly regarded subs around, and their others also perform very well (although none of them have quite

That's fantastic! I normally leave any proper judgement until I see it in the flesh, but that looks beautiful! I love sliding phone concepts, like my D600 (which is a very good phone in many respects). Flip phones make less sense to me. If this thing has the same build quality and finish as the Serene, it could be a pretty formidable phone...

Ah is there one which has both channels connected? This is something I'm not sure about, so I'm probably causing unnecessary fuss!

I agree with you Peter, I usually enjoy reading Bingo's posts, even if they do take a rather extreme point of view. I think in this case though, from my point of view, things have gone a bit too far...

There is a point when posts lose any value of discussion, and I feel this has passed that line. Just my 2 cents.

I don't suppose you've heard the 801Ds Stein? In some ways preferable to the 800D, but more difficult to get sounding right. Also, much more difficult to power!

Or in fact why Peter always avoids posting pictures of himself online.

Either way, the BeoSound 3 still doesn't distort with 'hard clipping', it simply pushes all the dynamics together. Class D would seem a logical choice for the BeoSound 3 was due to it's higher efficiency and much lower heat output than Class AB amps . Of course, there is now way you can compare 4000s and the BeoLab 5000 amplifier. The 400s are second
