Before jumping into the B&O universe, I spent about 12 years in high-end car audio (yes there really is such a thing!) Dave is, of course, quite correct...but allow me to see if I can simplify the issue for us all. Most tweeters, egardless of 'style' don't use more than about 20watts to achiecve continuous full volume output,,the rest

I am 95% satisfied. I have an Avant/US, a BS-9000, a pair of BL-6000 speakers, an AppleTV, an Xbox 360, and an old Reveox A-77 all hooked up together. If I stay with my Beo4 I am in heaven, the Beo5 is the source of my only frustration...and I know that it is just a tweak here and there to get it right. But the devil is in the details....

moxxey: RussR: Missing out on what exactly? Component cables are perfectly capable Fine and true, but how do you connect three HDMI devices to a single component input? I'm not getting behind my TV to switch them around and I'm not going to get a switcher, either. This sw 4.24 problem has been ongoing since July. B&O should have had this

wonderfulelectric: OMG. Imagine a 6 Bluray disk changer well talk about overkill. The most essential updates will be more of the reliability and sound quality areas and not the features I think. I mean it is like one of the most fragile machines ever. This is not the first time you've accused the 900 of being 'fragile.' Since mine dates

If they are Mk3's you'll be able to use the RCA/Line input on the bottom, connected to a Preamp/Main output from the Kenwood. If the Kenwood doesn't have pre-amp outs, there is an adaptor which would allow you to use the regular speaker connection, but that's not as clean.

Weebyx: And miss out on the HD channels and HD PS3 gaming, and HD mediacenter PC, i think not ! I will just wait and see what happens next week, if the SW isn't available friday next week, i will ask my dealer to downgrade to 4.17. Then the problem is solved. /Weebyx Missing out on what exactly? Component cables are perfectly capable of handling

You must use MK2 cables end-to-end...and 'break' in the change will shut down the 5's.

I have also heard that 5.x will be coming 'in November'...so we shall see...this being the US and all. As an aside to all of you experiencing the 'crash to off' issue, B&O stipulates that the problem is only occuring with HDMI connected devices. I know that the connection panel on the EU BS-3/BV-7 is a bit different from ours (SCARTs

And there goes the idyllic, constructive atmosphere John was so enamored with! BTW, welcome home John. If true about the Olive, then I have no doubt, that psychoaccoustically a 6db bump could be mispercieved as an improvement in quality. In the old days of analog tuners broadcast engineers regularly, intentionally overdrove their audio signals to 2

Fake. If for no other reason than B&O's announced intention to leave the mp3 player business.
