Hi Burantek I am actually in the UK so would need 220v euro ones! Thanks anyway Llewelyn

B&O can supply them like that - The easiest way is to just splice into the existing ML and solder the connections rather than using a junction box. You just have to remember the short out the pink/blue and white, as the junction box does this for you. I heard Bosscom have gone bust and made to destroy all their stock due to a copyright lawsuit so

Thats correct, you take powerlink out of the audio system, into the MCL2P and regular speaker cable out to passive speakers. This enables you to use passive or non B&O speakers with the stereo.

I think it will be around 50p per cd or something, less if there is 1000s of cds! That includes collection, a large portable hard disc, the ripping service, a physical catalogue of cds and tracklists and delivery so its not too bad. I don't know if dealers are planning to work this into the price somehow or not to be honest.

avus17: What about customers which do not have a PC or are old not computer generation, for them I think BeoSound 5 is useless. Will in the future CDs dissapear and only MP3 music will live? I think B&O are planning to offer a CD ripping service with the BM/BS5 (via a 3rd party) whereby the customer has their music collection ripped to a portable

As above! Thanks, Llewelyn :-)

The AV9000 uses "fully wired" masterlink cable. Ordinary ML has a blanking strip (grey) inside covering space for 4 extra wires. If you look at an ML plug you will see what I mean. I think they designed it like this for possible future expansion but then never bothered and as far as I know, the AV9000 is the only system to ever utilise the

I have seen the Beosound 5 in the flesh today and spent some time having a play :-) Without giving too much away, I will say that photos wont do it justice and it really is a great bit of kit. Definately a very B&O product, extremely simple and intuitive to use and very beautiful. They will be on demonstration in the stores from mid November so

The fault occurs when the amp is connected directly to the Pentas (like beovox pentas!), when it is connected to the penta amplifiers it doesnt occur! :-)

Thanks for the advice Friedmett! I will send him a PM now :-)
