Can't remember but it may have been one of my reviews of the MS150 on Beocentral! Tim agrees though - he described my MS150s as the best speakers that had been in the house when I was last there!! Having siad that, he had just fixed them!!

With the BM8000 they are ruler flat - I think it is the 5000 when used with them.

Specifications now on site.
