You'll have to choose whether you want to go with vintage B&O speakers or with newer speakers. I'll have to second Frede's suggestion that the best choice would be a set of the speakers that were originally created for this amplifier. It's a very special amplifier, with circuitry you do not find in many other amplifiers, due to the

Simply beautiful, elegant and very attractive. Hmmm - I will go hunting for something similar, I think! I admire what Jensen did with metal and wood.

I thought my use of the tense was quite clear? ... for a long time was on speed with their OS - the 512 scoops of data in DOS needed to shoveled out of the way faster and faster, for the OS to keep up with other offerings. And for a long time, Apple computers were called slow, because they had lower clock-speeds than PCs. But in pgm-to-pgm comparisons

Some people ... You've priced them very kindly, Lee. The book's brilliant, and worth much more than BeoWorld is asking even without a signature. If I didn't already have two I'd order a signed one!

This thread really isn't about Apple versus Microsoft, and their platform, but about marketing. And as such the flaming that broke out above is quite unnecessary, if we're to address the real issue. Xavieritzman (a namesake - my middle name is Xavier) put his finger on it, by indicating that by previous management's reasoning, B&O itself

AppleTV conveys an excellent HD image and sound (limited to DD 5.1 audio, but sounds very good through my BL5/BL3 surround setup).
