I think the quip about the software was an ironic comment by B&O as Beoworld seems to get information rather more easily than Struer would actually like! I dare say we might get it but no promises!

soundproof: David: VERY cool, you must be feeding those speakers steroids, because you always have wacky stories with your BL3's, and people vowing to buy a pair! I guess that if I were to take the BL5s out on the patio the birds would drop out of the air ... More than likely - but probably vultures to feed on the broken body having lifted the 5s

Mine does the same - needs dismounting and cleaning - never find time!

Quite a few still going! Martin Logan and Quad for starters! (Though Quad is not the same company really!) Quite a few top end speakers use them in conjunction with a sub woofer as the problem with electrostatics is the amount of air they move - or rather don't! Personally, I think ESL63s are fine all by themselves but some people prefer more bass

Though it is possible to hard wire an IR receiver in. There was an option to do this - though goodness only knows if any parts are still available!

Your dealer is having his training in the next few days!! I am sure he will tell you once he has had it!

My one (an early DAB version) does not.

Actually you are gold member 508. (For an obscure reason, than means we now have 507 Gold members - 1 is not used!)

Have sent you an email!

David: - Cassettes were dreadful IMHO You need to hear a properly recorded cassette on a decent player - the Beocord 8002/4/9000 springs to mind. Or have a look here to see what you are missing in the portable department!
