I moved my Avant in an upright position. I think you're crackers if you try and move it either screen down or lying on its back!

Can we talk about old cars again?

Don't panic Dilznik! Myself and Bentleyman are soon to retire our our cabin in the woods where we'll be holed up with some spanners, an Edison cylinder phonograph and several shotguns whilst we wait for the 78rpm revolution ;)

[quote user="tournedos"] Every now and then I visit Beocentral just to see what's new or updated. There's a 2nd August entry on Beovox Penta, and since I have a pair I wanted to see what changed. Not much it seems, except for this passage: "The Penta loudspeaker required very few changes to be sold in Beovox form. Screw binding

Oh dear. The settings on my Beomaster 8000 are: Bass +3, Treble +5 and Loudness ON. Sometimes I even switch in a Cona from the Speaker 2 outlets... Does this mean I'm cloth-eared?

Guys - calm down. The Beosound 2 is the best MP3 player ever, with the bestest ever user interface. I'm off to go sing its virtues on an Apple forum with some asbestos gloves on as I type. Can we talk about old cars again?

I'm tempted to add that the Beomaster 6000 Quad must also be a serious contender for the best B&O design.....

[quote user="Peter "] I like all of these but the Beomaster 8000 was not a long lived product and lacked the design purity of the BG4000. Materials used proved not as long lasting. The 4400 design was an adaptation of the Beolab 5000/ Beomaster 3000 theme so not original - it should really have had a new design all together - think the 1900

Pound for pound it has to be the Beomaster 8000. You get a lot of Bang for your bucks. Ba boom!

[quote user="burantek"] The Japanese manufacturers would never build a Ducati, because they can't build a Ducati. All of their engineering and accounting committees would disect it, redesign it, make it economic to manufacture. They would end up with a motorcycle vastly superior in every regard to a Ducati but no where near as good...
