[quote user="Chris"] Looking at the price of the Lintronic device - I'm thinking of just pushing the boat out and going Beo5/6. [/quote] That's a valid point. I don't really have any first hand experience with programming either, but one problem with using a Beo4 (or earlier) for controlling 3rd party devices is that the button

Actually the volume kind of works - it just feels like there's a mile of rubber band in between and then it jumps in large increments. This is because the MCP refuses to send more commands until it has gotten a reply to the previous one, or timed out waiting which takes a couple of seconds. I guess you could get past this faking "BM6500"

[quote user="Guy1680"]A further thought regarding two-way remotes: I wonder if you could use the Lintronic box to control a BC9500 with a MCP5500 (or 5000, or 6500 for that matter). Surely the box could both convert the IR signal from the MCP to the BC9500 and then the return IR signal from the BC9500 to the MCP. The problem could be working

[quote user="wjman"]One last thing...Can you get a good bit of volume out of these?[/quote] I would say surprisingly much for that size & form factor. But they aren't any disco PA speakers - keep the level sane, you don't want to burn them!

[quote user="beopaul"]Might need the drivers' surrounds replaced if they have foam rot. Still worth it though.[/quote] Not a problem in 60.2, they have rubber surrounds. Definitely a good buy unless they look horrible externally. But prepare for additional cost if you want to keep them anywhere else than on the floor. The stands don't

[quote user="Evan"]I'm sure I'll get a myriad of posts about this, but I have to ask - what's the point?[/quote] I don't know what the point is from B&O's point of view, but I see it immensely easier and cheaper for everyone if you can use all the existing RJ45 installation hardware and even house wiring instead of

You need an FM antenna terminated into a female IEC plug. Just a length of wire will get you going if you can find a loose plug somewhere, or perhaps bastardize a TV aerial interconnect cable. Read more at the antenna FAQ .

Congratulations to Australia, and all the rest of the winners again! Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming on the other side

[quote user="bayerische"]I like his jokes, they are as lame as mine, only difference is that Adny's are in english.[/quote] ...or at least almost!

Congratulations Edouard! You'll need to rethink your living room again! (and congratulations to all in between as well!)
