That's very kind of you Peter but the last time I set it up the Cd4 light wouldn't stop on , as you probably know the BeoGram 6000 automatically detected a Cd4 record and a red indicator lights up . I have it boxed it up and doubt I will set it up again , don't know where I'd put it so as not to get grief from the wife . Pity you haven't

Personally I liked the elusion of sitting in the middle of an orchestra with different instruments from each corner , I still have some of the Cd4 & Sq Lp's , Neil Diamond and some instrumentals , best one was Latin Festival . One of the demo's in the shop was ' The Flying Scotsman ' but an hour of that is a bit much and sad , where's

What happened to Quadraphonic , CD4 & SQ , I have still got my Beo master 6000 from the mid 70's and I wondered why four channel sound died . Today with sound around 5.1 and the like why don't we see four channel music Cd's . Got to be a step up from Stereo or is there a system about I don't know about ?

Hello Peter . That's the way I'm thinking , getting a BeoSystem 3 , I have never felt the need for a Lab2 with the Penters as they have excellent base on there own but I have two Lab2's about the house and can try one when I get my system together .

I am in the process of doing a makeover in my snooker room and have an area of about 20 ft. square at the end that I would like to install a cinema set-up .

However we also don't want a big black hole dominating the room. I made Bv5 disappear in a fitted cupboard with antique book spines . People often ask "

Puncher: If only the BM5000 responded to the "modern" codes and worked with active speakers - it is operational from the front panel (as you would like), it has a better amplifier (for passive speakers) than the 5500, the 5000 casette player is up there with the best (although behind the 8000 and 9000), the radial arm deck is, debatably better
