[quote user="Flappo The Grate"] i think most of the problems with appletv are the movie studios dragging their heels over hd downloads to normal computers and the mediocre hardware of the apple tv personally i'd buy a mac mini , it wipes the floor with the apple tv in every way [/quote] I can second that and a mac mini is what I use .

The white boxes hold the MCL circuitry that will switch on/off an individual (or several as they can be grouped) set of speakers and the last pictures shows the IR receiver that is connected to those boxes. These boxes need to be connected with the 3 pin plugs. The volume control is just what it is ...switches on/off the speakers (hence the click sound

[quote user="elephant"] Well I was thinking along the lines of one of the replies to that article, where a poster pointed out that people learned how good & simple Apple was buy using an iPod and iTunes ... and having gained that comfort, the user was then prepared to consider a Mac when they next had to make a major PC decision. Hence

[quote user="Steve at Sounds Heavenly"] Nice idea mobey! I'm busy saving up for a BV10 so that I can experiment on it to get a multi-way "Medusa Head" box developed, but I think this could be a long way off! My current "back of an envelope" designs that I'm working on (just in case anyone is interested!) are:- 1

[quote user="linder"] I agree but it isn't much better. There is still the same tired selection of movies. I recently bought a Bluray player and started renting from Netflix. The internet radio stations are only AAC+ or MP3 type stations which is limiting. Most online radio stations use mostly Windows media player which I am sure will

Beosystem's hart is a beomaster. I love the beocenter 9500/9300 for it's design, but beware buying second hand as ofter the cd player is need of some work, the tape deck will need new belts and the glass panels often come loose. Not to speak of the 2 doors coming off tracks during shipping. The beosystem 5500,6500 or the later 7000 all have

Beocenter 9500 is rated at 2x85 watts at 8ohms Beomaster 7000 is rated at 2x110 watts at 8 ohms. ( Is what I remember but you can look it up on this site) My beomaster can perfectly handle 4 pairs of speakers without breaking a sweat ....(I don't have room for more speakers..) so I think 6 sets would be feasible. Like I wrote before, it depends

I can full suggest the systems I mentionned. The amount of speakers is irrelevant ... the total wattage pulled by them is. Also in a system like that, it's unusual to switch on all the speakers full blast all the time.

I would opt for a beomaster 5500/6500/7000. These are more than powerful enough to push all of those speakers. (I used BM5500, now a BM 7000) These are really superb units with plenty of power and easily available 2nd hand and worth the small investment. They have the optional advantage that it's easier to connect other (both B&O and non B&O
