I think we can improve on a phonebox....let me think.....somewhere central, with room, relevant to Beoaddicts.....mmm, its on the tip of my tongue.....

A bit of ad hoc market research, if you wouldn't mind. Do you have SKY digital / + / HD and if so, do you ever watch Channel M ( 203 ) Or, if you live near Manchester City Centre, and can receive Channel M via your aerial, do you watch it ? I'm trying to guestimate ( in a quite un-scientific way ) the number of people that have access to Channel

bangandolufsen: Good Morning. I have been a long time beoworld.co.uk reader and love this updated site. I am a huge Bang and Olufsen collector and was reading about another member getting a B&O couch. I was wondering if anyone knows where to purchase a Bang and Olufsen couch? Are the couches actually made by Bang and Olufsen or are they outsourced

Good question - probably give it to the Aged P's to gowith their MX 6000- or maybe let the kids loose on it in our music room ( i have apair of LAb 4000's currently "spare" ) It certainly won't appear in store - that would be wrong on many levels.

Peter, Most "main" products are given sequencial serial numbers as they are made, regardless of model and type, which is unusual, but it does mean that there is a broad correlation, in as much as the serial numbers have risen steadily over the years and most dealers will (or should !! ) know roughly how old a product is at a glance.

Hope that helps, Regards your favourite Manchester based dealer

100% agree with Peter about Beocom 6000 - its also amazingly child resistant. BeoVision 8 is a future classic, imo. The picture is great, and the sound from this design / price point very impressive.

Peter is correct - a Bvis 7 32,on its floor stand,with a Blab 7.1 will retail in the UK at aprox £6,600, so the guide prices quoted don't include a loudspeaker. Do remember though that since the RRP was abolished, any prices you see on line will be a "typical" price, as B&O have no (legal) say in the ultimate price a customer

9 LEE: Sorry - i've been so busy this last week i have only just had chance to trawl through all of the postings! The shop looks fantastic, and having just "rolled out" something new i am acutely aware of how much effort goes into creating something good, and also the nerves you get before launch, constantly questioning yourself and then
