Have you tried Audiolense? Fantastic program - measures the room response, calibrates and adjusts the EQ to give you the response you want, or the ideal flat response by counteracting problems with room acoustics. You install the program on the computer you're using for playback, and the program makes the necessary adjustment before the signal is

I'm not privy to the circuit-layout on the BL5s, but would find it curious if the volume controlled the power-supply to the amps. The volume control will decide the attenuation from the amp's to the drivers, but that's something else, and quite sophisticated given the processing ciruitry in the BL5s. For what it's worth, I've been

Think there are too many on-board processors - but you should be able to run an HDMI-cable, and the PUC-cable from the BV7 to where you're hiding it.

If you have a good surround set-up, this Oppo-player will be perfect for playing the new multi-channel, high-resolution music BDs. (As those from 2L, for instance.) And it will make it possible to get SACD-resolution through to the speakers, as the internal sound processors handle both SACD and the high-def audio formats natively. Personally, I can't

This one is being beta-tested by consumers now, and should be hitting the market by this fall at the latest. A universal player - DVD/Blu-ray/SACD/CD, etc. But it also converts SACD to PCM, which is quite nice for those who would like to rip their SACD-tracks, on single or hybrid SACDs. I think it will be a perfect source for B&O's active speakers

The Australian BeoWorlder had moved to a new house, and missed the crispness and report of his BL5 bass from the previous residence, and this gave him a good reference for what was missing. The two sub-woofers on the BL5s together move several liters of air when working at optimum (if I remember correctly, each can shift 1,8l/pulse). There's the

The instances where I've asked for help here, and gotten it instantly, are too numerous to mention in toto - but I'll never forget what must have been one of my first posts. I'd gotten a Beosystem 6500 and wanted to know how to get the Beo4 to play PHONO. Got a very helpful answer in seconds, to what was a neophyte question of the first

To those who listened to the Genesis sample. http://home.comcast.net/~captaincasual/01_Genesis_Compare.mp3 It has three versions of a portion of the same track. 1. The original mix. 2. A remaster. 3. A sound engineer's attempt to tweak the original to get a result similar to the so-called remaster. SO - don't think you have good bass just because

I guess it happens in all fora. I'm a member of a hifi-forum where we occasionally get the temper-tantrum swoonings and "pass the smelling salts" sudden faints with a crash from members who feel they've been slighted - and usually it's either based upon a misunderstanding (it's also a multi-cultural site, with contributors

This was an Australian BeoWorlder, JandyT, who had a wooden floor that "gave" easily. Dave Moulton recommended stiffening the floor with a few supports underneath, and that recovered the bass instantly. But Moxxey above has a point. Most newer music has very little dynamic response, which means that the speakers don't get much to work
