Go for the latest Denon universal disc player offering out this month. It has already gotten rave reviews for its previous incarnation.

Actually I like this honey/gold coloured option. Much more easier on the eye than silver I think. Very J.Lo, Gwen Stefani. This colour will actually blend very well in most domestic environments.

I meant the Beolab2s isn't able to go down to 20Hz relatively flat without producing huge amounts of distortion. The driver in the Beolab2 is way too small and the bass alignment employed is for power and not for depth. But of course if you like the Beolab2s then you have nothing to be worried about.

[quote user="koning"] Will the beolab 2 discontinued?? [/quote] I think it should. Not many people here in the forum likes the Beolab 2. Besides, the Beolab 2s don't dig deep enough to be considered as a real subwoofer.

[quote user="Alex"] The centre channel mix at the cinema can quite easily be mixed into the output from the main speakers creating a 'phantom' centre channel. I'm not sure how Goldmund can 'build in a centre to both the left and right channels', isn't that just called mixing the signals together? [/quote] For the Goldmunds

[quote user="TripEnglish"] I have to say that while WE may be factually inerrant, I couldn't care less about any of the "upgrades" he discusses. The brands he cites and ones like them trade on these tidbits of innovation and appeal to a demographic so finite it makes B&O look like McDonalds. Many exotic brands produce so

[quote user="thavn"] [quote user="soundproof"] With acoustic lenses in front, you don't need a centre speaker! [/quote] Are you serious? I have BL5 in a surround setup with my Avant as a centre speaker. It works ok, but could have been better. I am considering buying a BV7 with BL7-4, but the 7-4 speaker makes the set a bit too

Well that's not very true. Active loudspeaker manufacturers ATC and Adam Audio are using quite fanciful drivers for their loudspeakers to great effect. Better drivers can only make an already outstanding active loudspeaker better. There's no correcting a driver's waterfall or distortion response though DSP or equalization. Besides I am talking

Keith, Why don't you simply wait for the new subwoofer to be launched? I have a very good feeling about the new sub since it will contain opposing drivers which will greatly improve bass speed and definition. If you can't wait till then, I suggest you get a B&W PV1 instead? But from your post it seems that you are just planning to do some

Koning, if you will like more comments about the Beolab8000s, you can do a search at the audiogon forum. A member claimed that the Beolab 8000s sound best without the use of a B&O source but instead substitute the source with a high quality cd player and preamp.
