James May is on the show precisely to be rude to - Cpt. Slow, pipe and slippers etc.

I may be missing something but why bother fitting a iPod (hidden) into a B&O system?? If you need a HD "Jukebox" why not just a plain vanilla 2.5" Hard drive filled with music??

My understanding of the change to the 8000's is that there was a slight change to the crossovers (~2003) to improve reliability (and alledgedly improve the bass although most here that have heard both can not tell the difference between the two).

They look peculiar without the base block. I thought the ceiling mount picture I had seen still included the base blocks (although I could have dreamt it).

Yup - not sure they are the same pictures (or even the same installation) but that was the idea. Having seen them again though they seem plainer than I remember - definitely wouldn't do it myself!

I have seen pictures (on the old forum I believe) of 8000's ceiling mounted (upside down)! They were certainly striking although I'm not sure I would do it myself

My tiebreak is "I know where you live!"

Well if you hadn't been too busy bumping your thread you would have noticed I'd already PM'd you!

It'll be dead easy to spot this time of year - it's about 5 mile to the north and it'll be covered in lights!!

If you are the rightful owner of the track you are allowed to copy it to a portable player. Have you tried moving your track from within Mediaplayer or, failing that, Beoplayer?
