News has reached us of a further addition to the ever popular BV7 range. With the BV4 now starting at 50", there is a gap in the range and a new even larger screen is being readied. It sounds as though this will be Full HD and will be Beosystem 3 based. A still larger BL7 - the 7.3 - is also rumoured. We can therefore expect a full range from B&O

Very nice collection! I take it you mean the 70s S45s? If so, not a duff model there! You clearly need the Beolab and Beomaster 5000 to go with the Beogram 4000 though! Equally well made and engineered. Look at the superb www.Beolab.dk site for more information. Best of luck with the 4000.

I might do! I'll look tonight and if I do I will put it on. Best wishes,

The service manual, and it is a good one, is on site here ! We don't have the user manual.

Shame - I have a mint surround I have just found but not a lid! The control panel always falls off - a good friend of mine did not realise that it actually does clip down! I would check the wiring to the solenoid. These are no longer available so we need either to get this one working or look for a donor machine. Martin can sometimes help though 4000

Also try some Grados. Having been using a pair of RS1s, they are more detailed than the HD600s and certainly worth auditioning.

The other solution is to use the screens offered by Ridax. The information we need is on the ML system - I get full information on track, artist and album on my BC2. I agree however that this is one area where B&O remote control is lagging badly. What about a Beoworld campaign through Beovocal to encourage B&O to do something about this? I am

Does it click when it comes to the start of the record? It should do as that is the solenoid working. The very detailed service manual is scanned and on site. You need to be a silver or Gold member to access these. This helps support the site and we have about 1000+ manuals and catalogues on site so it is a bargain. If you join as Gold you also get

I might try a PV1 for the main room and use the BL2 with my AV9000 which does not have a sub woofer channel.

Just to redress the balance a little, I think my BL2 is superb as an AV sub woofer and regard it as one of my best buys. I don't find that when used with Pentas that it lacks punch at all. Each to their own though.
