Good idea to show the artwork; The Damien Rice CD I referred to looks like this (artwork on CD similar to cover) Regards, Bieele

OK; I admit this post is on the edge, but maybe a good sunday night post: Whenever I buy a new CD, I am always happy when the print on the CD itself looks nice, this way I can also enjoy it when I look at the CD when it is not playing in the BS9000. My current favorite looking CD in the BS 9000 is: Damien Rice - q BTW: also a great CD to listen to!

In the B&O site I only have seen it in reference to

Funny to hear how different people can feel about a product; I have the BL2 for quite some time know and have it stationed right next to my Avant and still love to look at it every day. Would not think about moving it out of sight! Bieele

1. CD (nothing beats a late night listening with the lights dimmed and 6 of your favorite CD's in the best CD changer ever build!) 2. DVD 3. Radio 4. iTunes

I am also considering a purchase of the BV-7. I currently use an 8 year old avant which I have 'repaired' myself recently; but my dealer expects this to be temporary (let's hope temporary is >> 1year). But if the updated panels really impress me, then I am also in the buying league; but my preference would be the 32 inch because I
