The Beoport and Beolink PC2 are the same product - the Beoport simply is the new name. It will have newer software but you can upgrade a PC2 to the same level. I don't use a TV tuner with my Mac and only use the N.Music feature which works really quite well allowing control of iTunes using your Beo4. However you do get limited display of tracks

This feature basically either activates or inactivates the Speaker 1 sockets when a timer is used. At a guess you have your speakers attached to Speaker 2 (probably because the mute circuit is faulty or you have simply plugged them into the top sockets!) To turn the Timer Off light off, press and hold the right side of the front panel and then lightly

Quite a review! Will clearly need to have a look at this when it arrives!

The Beolab 3s are set up as my computer speakers and so are not that easy to audition properly. Andrew described them as very bright sounding - which they are compared to the CX100s next to them. We didn't do an A/B comparison as it would have meant unmounting them but I certainly would not say they were superior at all. The M100s were the best

I am afraid I don't have a 5000 at home. I could have used an 8000 or a 4400 but both were wired in elsewhere. Tim is convinced it is superior and I have little reason to doubt him.

I must thank Andrew for coming as it made me have a good listen to some speakers that I have not listened to for some time. We used the following: Initially Beovox 3800s with Andrew's switching amp - I thought this was a very pleasant detailed sound but lacked a bit in low bass. We compared them to Pentas, initially with a Beolab 2, which sounded

No ! Not quite that much of a self publicist! He is one of the editors!

Well we had great fun playing with speakers - I am pleased Andrew brought his 3800s as the midrange on one of mine was distorting. As thought, very good speakers and we compared them to a good collection of B&O stalwarts. I will not steal Andrew's thunder as he has said that he would do a write up!

Wonderful story! Makes me realise how lucky I am and how more of us need to realise that not everyone can be as fortunate as ourselves. Thank you for posting this.
