It sounds like Andy is fond of history - then he might - just might - not have any objections with regards to his home being called a 'museum' ...

Bingo: Unless B&O lowers their prices, it is not worth buying a new B&O flatpanel television. They are extremely overpriced for what they offer and the technical value is short with the fast improvements in AV-technology. Sorry, Bingo, I just had to fish this one up. So, what you are saying is that it's OK - for B&O - to make products

Sure, Puncher! Isn't it though strange that even if both BL9 and BL5 are based on the same clever - and revered - principle, it's the 9's that force me down to my knees? When finding the sweet spot, though the 5s command even more reverence, they just don't do it to me - perhaps only once, but this was financially.

I know it can get fairly complicated when more family

Puncher: Bear in mind Mobey fitted the screws Does this statement imply that those screws could actually be nails as well - the last two in the coffin of Mobey's BS9000?

Why does Lee look sooo serious?

ArgyleMoss: Looking at the above photo (of front room) the BV28 is going to the left of the chimney *** and the BS9000 is to be horizontally wall mounted to the right of chimney *** with the BL4000 wall mounted horizontally high up above TV and stereo and masterlinked to MX4002 in kitchen/diner. As i dont want to see any cables i started to plan where

(I have to come back to my old thread in need of some info …) I installed the setup mentioned above and it’s been working fine, almost* as Keith described it would, however, beside the fact that I’ll (have to) update the software, which is no problem, I’ve noticed: Initially, after I set it up and switched it on, the clock
