New, they were £16k+.. Used £6-9k Lee

[quote user="bsantini"] Would having the AST upgrade in his BV9/BS3 help with the Beolab 1's less than ideal separation? [/quote] If i'm honest.. I've no idea.. I've never heard the BL1's running with the BS3 AST upgrade, so in fairness cannot comment. However, Adaptive Sound Technolgy was invented by people who wear white

Congratulations on the BV9 Toubro! An absolutely fabulous TV and the best B&O set i've ever owned to date. Some may remember the early days of BeoWorld where I proudly posted a photo of my BV5 and BeoLab 5's... which were all almost touching each other. I just HAD to have the BL5's, no matter what - even though they had about 25cm space

Bugger... I made it sticky as a kind gesture.. and wiped the results Only 12 voters though, so if we could 'start again' i'm sure it'd bring many more votes. Peter.. another Poll, but this time sticky perhaps.. That way we'd get better exposure and a fairer result? Lee

Just goes to show... I know nothing!

I think it's a dealer display stand.. Lee

You could bring the converter and the 9500 down to Eastbourne - I'd be happy to test them all for you at LifeStyle AV (free of charge of course!). I'm sure it's nothing serious.. Lee

The BC9500 needs to be in AOPT 6 as opposed to 0 ? And is your 1611 Converter not connected with a MasterLink cable to the Avant? I actually know a seasoned B&O chap (who will be able to help if needed) who lives about 600 yards from your front door too! (not me, but i've known him a long time) Lee
