Jacob Jensen. David Lewis was his assistant then - but you will notice that Lewis commits a bit of cheekiness in identifying the two products you mention, as he writes "One of David Lewis' first works at Bang & Olufsen."

I believe one of the chief advantages of the Penta design was to eliminate standing waves inside the speakers - while the tall column provided for a more equal dispersion of the sound through the room - giving a greater soundstage.

When I connect this to the mac headphone socket or the iphone headphone socket everything works OK although there is a slight buzz from the speakers before I start

[quote user="KCW"] However, what would be the minimum room size you would recommend to adequately accommodate the BL5s? I live in a Victorian house and I have a dedicated room for listening and cinema viewing. The room size is 4m wide by 5.5m long and 3m high ceiling. I house my BL5s approx 0.5 m from the wall - equal distance from the back

[quote user="moxxey"] [quote user="soundproof"] s/pdif over analog... Putting a pair of BL5s inside a too small room is not recommended [/quote] Soundproof, how would I/we know if the BL5s are using s/pdif (from the Beocenter 2) rather than powerlink? Unfortunately I think I made the mistake where my source room is too small for
