Hi Simon, wouldn't it have been wise to research this before purchase?

[quote user="BenSA"] I like it....after all there is only so much one can do with a normal phone design wise. [/quote] I think this is pretty neat:- http://tinyurl.com/qw4cxu

[quote user="timhanna"] Look like a normal boring phone, no? [/quote] Have to agree Tim, it looks like a really old design of mobile phone stuck on top of a metal disc. I really hope it's not a 'new' product from B&O. If it turns out to be so, then I really hope it looks better than the photo shows otherwise B&O have really

I hope some will find this interesting as the question posed raises a point from my musical history. When I first became interested in music, I was also fascinated by recording music and sounds.

B&O marketing "tosh". So how come that the exact same tweeters (and that is where most of the sound comes from) are considerably higher in the BL8000. What about Beolab1's. Do you buy higher seating to go with the taller speakers or maybe B&O should supply seat cushions in the box?? If it's B&O tosh then it's the 'tosh

How much higher does being 6' 3" raise your ears when in the seated postion? In general terms extra height is mostly in the legs!
