You press open on the left side of the front panel. There is no way to eject a CD by remote control. Remember the CD goes in label down!

I agree - very tactile and mine has a long battery life. I think the major problem is that some dealers are better at setting them up than others. I am sure they will improve but unfortunately the customers are the ones who are left dissatisfied.

Did you just save it onto another HDD? I just drag and drop the iTunes music folder into the Library folder of iTunes and it seem to just do it! Done from mac to PC and vice versa.

July 2003 - the earlier 880X was introduced in 2001. It was 100Hz too.

The 881X was the 32" BV3 Mk3.

There was a 32 Mk3 but I don't recall a 28 Mk3. All 28 inch BV3s were type number 885X and were 50Hz. As said before, they were based on the other type of chassis and not the Avant one. All RF Avants and all BV3-32 were 100Hz.

The BV3-32 uses the Avant chassis and is 100Hz. The BV3-28 uses what is essentially the BV1 chassis and is a very different device. The Avants are 100Hz.

Actually I have never had either 6000s or 8000s. I nearly bought 8000s but compared them with Pentas and preferred the Pentas at the time - the Beolab 2 was not out then. Equally I bought 4000s rather than 6000s when getting rear speakers partly for the sound but also for convenience of fitting.

Black AV9000 - there is a white 5500 system with a Beogram 4004 fitted with a SMMC20EN in there as well though this is using CX100s and, via Beoport, Beolab 3s. Not sure what I will have eventually!

I'll nail my personal colours to the mast - I think the 8000s are the most beautiful speakers ever made! I love the organ pipe look and agree that colouring them seems sacrilegious in some ways! They make more of a statement than the 6000s which have been copied by many makes - though never as elegantly.
