This is how I see the product possibly emerging:- Core:- A music server. High-end CD drive, DACs etc... Ample HDD capacity for lossless digital recording. Usual refinements like ML, PL etc...Unlike other products on the market, kept strictly windows OS, with USBs to expand HDDs as required. Interface:- The box will be either like the BC2/Beomedia and

It is often said that there is only a few inches of difference between a pat on the back and big kick up the ar5e. However, the feeling is a world apart. What I see here is a missed opportunity for a really really truely great B&O classic and 90% of the bits are probably there (plus a bit of an upgrade). Forget all this DVD recording, HD video storage

But where is the content that was promised for all these new super thin technologies? The resolutions and the cable standards keep getting better and better - no doubt to take more money off us. but what do we get once we have a full HD with HDMI 2.5? - 'Ready Stead Go' and the millionth repeat of something that was good 20 years ago! Con. Still

Silly question perhaps? But where is the alphanumeric dial pad? On the reverse? Could there be something 'interesting' in the way one works the machine? 10%

Just to add my two cents:- 1. The guy paid over GBP10,000 for these speakers. Let the dealer fix the issue. 2. The cables normally supplied with the BL5's are approx 4-4.5mm thick and have a ferrite ring on either side of the powerlink connector. not sure if the are Mk2 or 3 (cant see them right now). however, the key is the ferrite rings which

Another thing to remember, when resting it down, do it on the back. On it's front, its own weight could break the glass contrast screen. I am not 100% certain but the Stand grub is either a 3.5 or 4mm hex and the floor plate is something like an 6 to 8mm hex bolt. ...and finally, dont forget to ask about the PIN number. 10%

I've never tried this, but the theory should be sound. 1. Move your funiture (sofa, chair etc..) very close to one speaker. 2. Calibrate. 3. Repeat for second speaker. 4. Return furnishings to thier original position. Theory says, the room resistance will seem to increase as the microphone measures a profile equivalent to a smaller room. Thus decreasing

Decent debate at last! 355F. Thanks for your insider knowledge. However, with that knowledge aside, could I challenge one or two things? The BL5 Angle. This is the most remarkable piece of B&O kit to come out of Struer for years. Many B&O enthusiasts have said “if only there was a source to do them justice….I would buy tomorrow”

May be it wont happen, maybe it will. But to suggest that it wont because of the low-end MP3 market is a bit like saying not to build the BV9 because there people want cheaper TV's. The BV9 is an incredibly small volume, high value TV - even for B&O. I think that could sell 6 a week of a high-end BS5 music master - like they presumed for the
