The least valuable is the 6002/TX though they do not seem any more common than most of the others. I would suggest that of the others in the range, the 8002 is the one to have as it has the newer cartridge range and the metal tacho disc. If I wanted a tangential deck and was not bothered by remote control, I would get a 4000 as it is the best made and

I forgot - it's Wednesday! I thought you would be too depressed after last night!

There are 5 decks in this series, though the 6002 and TX are really only similar in looks. The 6006 and 8000 are to all intents identical except for finish - the 6006 is black - and the cartridge fitted. The 6006 has a 20EN as standard where the 8000 uses a 20CL. Both are tangential tracking and tangential drive turntables. The latter means that the

I wonder if it could be a fault in your remote rather than the 3000. Maybe a problem with the key contacts. If it was that, I would expect to see Radio displayed on the Beo4 though.

I was thinking more of distribution of signal in an ML set up and AV integration rather than the speaker connections. You are of course correct about using variable line output.

I would suggest that it would not add that much bass and the cross over frequency of the Cona is quite high so it would alter the stereo imagery so in fact it may well sound worse! The Cona was designed to work with the CX which was by its very design bass light. The Beolab 8000 is a full range speaker but is clearly simply having problems moving the

Sounds like a quiz question!

And I suppose the usual reply will be : Don't compare specs - compare pictures. It would be a bit daft if the BS3 had amplifiers in as they only sell active speakers - though I realise that this is not the point you are making. I am sure that the products you list are worthy of note. But they don't work in a B&O system. For anyone buying

I think BL4s are very expensive for the sound quality you get. I would not get the PC model as they cannot be used later in a Powerlink situation. I think you can get some very good PC speaker for half the money that look pretty good. Needless to say, I use BL3s, which is total overkill but which may be a lot more expensive but sound a lot better. I
