correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the samsung and sony panels are one and the same (manufactured in the one plant). you read my mind - the kuro would have just blown anything else to bits! imagine the b&o design + audio and the kuro panels. although the pioneer lcd panels and future plasma panels will be made by panasonic. but i agree with

if you don't mind me asking, which stores did you perform the tests at? I viewed the BV7-40 AND the BV8-40 on Friday at the CBD store (Collins St) and they were both very impressive. The 7-40 had a blu ray playing and the image looked sharp and good (not overly sharp). Granted I did not do the extensive study you have performed, but I didn't

having my main phone point sandwiched between the microwave and the wireless router, i wanted a corded phone and the beocom 1401 was well priced and gave me an excuse to increase the count of B&O toys :) i am contemplating getting the DIN to 3.5mm cable ($20) to connect my ipod/iphone. but ripped CDs would be a problem from what i gather. the kuro's

i was eyeing that auction but was not "driven" enough to bid for it...secretly hoping a Beotalk 1200 would come up soon. Do you know if the 1200 was released in Australia? good on you for securing it.

good to see the recent "burst" of aussies in the scene. i too have recently reacted to the B&O bug. picked up 2 beocom 6000s and waiting on the beocom 1401 on order saving up for a beosound 1 before saving up even more for the bigger things. checked out the new beovision 7-40 (100hz)with blu ray on Friday - superb! both the city store

not specifically with beo stuff but in my dad's house, I have successfully setup a wireless network across 3 floors. apple airport extreme at main phone/modem point then install airport express along the way to "bridge" the wireless network. it was the most cost efficient and aesthetically pleasing way to do it. you should be able to get

from what i've seen and read (as a beovirgin ) - not just the products but the s/w needs to be constantly updated for new changes/technology that can be done with firmware updates. for this reason, ethernet port in all products or being able to update with beolink wireless 1

i've always been fascinated (lusted more like it) with the Beosound 9000 but never built up enough courage to ever check out a B&O store or catalogue.... now that i've my own place and enough "disposable" income - i'm starting from small to big :) beocom 6000 & beocom 1401. beosound 1 is next on the list, just deciding
