Here are a few pics of a system we just finished in a small second home at a western US ski resort. B&O in a traditional setting...... "Mountain Cabin". BV8 + BL3s + Macbook + Apple TV + Tivo + broadband service (7 mbps) The concept is to achieve high fidelity (both audio and video) digitally in a small space (total size of 1 br cabin

Nick12345, I am about to transition to Leopard, and would be pleased if you can outline how to get the B&O cradle to work? I have found quite a few problems with the USB card reader solution and have abandoned it in favor of the (slower) cradle which gives consistent results. Thanks

Puncher, I do not agree that high disposable income is a neccessary condition sufficient for purchase of B&O. Being older, I will from time to time have gatherings at my residence where I invite younger collegues. A part of my professional interests involve design and these collegues are often very aware of design. It has been rather frequent that

My experience with the movie portion of Apple TV agrees with the following table published by Apple: Format Resolution Audio Cost Broadband speed: wait time to start movie 9 Standard Definition 720 by 480 anamorphic (maximum) Dolby Surround 8 New releases - $3.99 Library titles - $2.99 6 Mbps: less than 30 seconds 2 Mbps: about 1 minute 768 Kbps: about

I agree, digital downloading either through a PC or other device (like Apple TV) is definitely the endpoint. I am not entirely knowledgeable about Blue-ray and the associated details but recently when Apple refreshed their laptops they did not include Blue-ray supposedly because of current cost considerations. I wonder, however, if they are thinking

I remember the "old" days in the US (1970's) where B&O were just a section of a high-end audiophile store. Typically the products were presented in a separate room with a few "experts" around to help but only if they were not trying to convince someone else about the advantages of a McIntosh tube amplifier.
