[quote user="Karel Uyttendaele"] I think the 160x160 icons are for the Beo6... (just a guess though..) [/quote] That would make sense.

Sounds very promising for when the Encore comes out too. I just hope that that one won't downsize the cover art to 160x160 (what weird behaviour when it can show better resolution if directly on the BM5). I especially like the flac support, but as with most things from B&O these days, there seems to be much headway still to be made. I can't

Beosound 5 encore, with FM radio and without all the shortcomings of the BS5/BM5 Beovision 10 - 32" (I'm buying this next month, as it's finally a tv I want on a wall, and the right size). And the Beosound 6, made so it can compete with my Squeezebox controller in useability. Oh, and another dwelling big enough so I can repurchase some

[quote user="jc"]B&o always has been expensive, MX tv's were not for free back then. [/quote] LOL; I wasn't making the point that they were for free. I was making the point that they were relative speaking much easier to pay for. If anything is true of B&O, it's their sky-rocketing prices of their TVs in the last decade

I just realized from a short trip to Beocentral that the last MX (8000) was made in 2005! Oh well, I don't think I've seen such a new model, only the left-overs from the 1980s, and perhaps a few from the early 1990s.

[quote user="jc"]Looking back in history, B&o have made far worse products than this, nobody made remarks about the cheap plastics used on the Beovision MX series, or the far eastern components used in every Beocenter/vision. [/quote] Wasn't the bulk of MX's made foremost in the 1980s? Before the advent of the internet? Also, you

I don't have such a big problem with things made in China and other far east countries. My Thinkpads are all made over there, and I like them. My main recorder (Sound Devices 722) is assembled in the US, but it's a high-cost low-run product, a serial product, rather than a mass product, and I'm willing to bet that most if not all of the

He he, I like the comparison between China in Denmark in a discussion about quality. More specifically the specious argument that China has a space program and a nuclear program, whereas Denmark doesn't. Of course we don't. We don't have have hangar ships either, nuclear subs or private planes for our prime minister, or even build planes

[quote user="Tim"]there are more radiostations available online than you can listen in your whole life![/quote] Since broadcast is linear, you'd only need two channels that broadcast for a total of, say, 25 hours a day, to have more than you could listen to your whole life I keed, I keed. I do know what you mean. On topic, I have to say

Depends, I guess. As a semistationary kitchen computer, or for a dorm room, I think it's pretty nice. But even though it may sound nice for laptop/luggable, it still won't be anywhere near the audio quality of proper speakers. My most used computer is a Thinkpad X200s. It has a downfiring mono speaker in the bottom, and I work with audio for
