I have resisted "upgrading" to 5.1/7.1 for many reasons - but part of my rationale is that it is unnatural processing and delivery of sound. We hear with 2 ears with a sound stage in front of us. We watch movies/tv in front, we listen to the orchestra/symphony/opera/etc looking at the stage in front. The drums or violins are not usually behind

Maybe the easy question that we can all relate to is plugging in an iPod - standard 3.5mm stereo output, variable volume/line-out (controlled with the iPod itself).

I am asking a similar question elsewhere on this forum. If you plug into the RCA jacks on the BL8000 do you bypass the B&O built-in amp? And how would this then work if I have my BL2 connected via Powerlink to the BL8000? Yes - then how do you control the volume? Or would you need a pre-amp? -michael

Pre-amp outputs - I assume these are standard RCA connectors? I have never seen the back of a 5.1. I presume there are 5 different plugs, 1 for each. Can I just route the "front stereo" to the Aux on my B&O which then will power the speakers/sub and then plug something else (not sure what yet, though I have some older bookshelf Polks which

Summer/X-mas of what year? Tired of waiting for stuff - just ordered the new Oppo BluRay DVD........ -michael

I am sure this has been covered before, but could not quickly find it. I am interested in hooking my BL8k/BL2 to a 5.1 output from a AV system (not yet purchased - but to complement my new BluRay DVD) 1) Is there a way to take a line-out level (not sure how to look for this in a new amp/pre-amp?) into the speakers and use the B&O built-in amp? 2

As I sit here and watch TV (non-B&O) through the Aux port on my BS3200, I am thinking about moving my B&O to the bedroom (ebay?) and investing in some real modern audio/video equipment. Yeah, sure looks nice and sounds good - but no longer suits my needs, desires, and budget. Looking at getting the new Oppo Blu-ray DVD for US$500 - hmm, what

As always, I appreciate your help.... but now I remember 12-15 pounds/dollars (whatever the conversion rate is these days) for a pair of foam covers for headphones? Is B&O out of the freakin' mind - oh wait they are and that is why they are doing crappy lately....... -michael

I have a pair of Form 2 (I think - the smaller rectangular ones) headphone and the small foam ear pads have completely fallen apart - B&O must use cheap foam since I hear foam rot to be a common problem with speakers. Any ideas of where or how they can be replaced? I live in the US and when I asked my dealer, I dont recall the exact amount, because

I bought a bluetooth adapter so that I can use my Beocom as a "regular phone" via BT to my iPhone - that way I can continue to use my Becom6000 and not need a landline.. http://www.phonelabs.com/prd05.asp -michael
