I guess I could live with using two remotes. What is the best way to connect an Avant to the BM5000? Is there a ready cable from Sounds Heavenly I could buy? What setting options are needed on the Avant?

I think I found some gasket material - it was some thin foam packing material from an eBay purchase. Any ideas on the design of the reversible back plate?

Yes, that is the system I have. I was afraid I would be on an island with this configuration, but I thought MCL82 and datalink were really two different technologies. Are there any BeoVisions that will communicate with the BM5000 on the datalink cable for audio?

It seems odd that the internal part would be symetrical and have a hole in the alternate position that would allow a "vented" arrangement. I was just interested to see if anyone had any insight into this.

[quote user="elephant"] [quote user="dmacri"] Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it in a search or the FAQs. What, if any, Beovisions are compatible with the datalink of the Beosystem 5000? [/quote] Try the Beotech sister/micro-site to Beoworld. Look here for some indications => http://www.beoworld

I have a pair of RL140s that I was able to repair, but ultimately can't keep because my wife thinks they are too big. I refoamed all of the woofers and replaced the tweeters with new units from Atlantic Systems. Too big to ship, so local pick up in North Central MA only. I do not have the stands with these, only the floor props. The only condition

Sands of Nevada - by Mark Knopfler. I'm listening in my link room with the S45s fed from my BeoSystem 5000.

I came to the party fairly late. I started building a stereo system in the late 70s and early 80s while still in high school. I changed equipment over the years from Technics to HH Scott to McIntosh, to VTL, speakers from Polk Audio to Infinity to Vandersteen. I was never completely satisfied. I started selling my idle stereo equipment and rebuilding

Finally found one on eBay. Thanks to the folks that responded.
