[quote user="Friedmett"] Hmmm... Do you mean Beomaster 8000 and Beovox Penta's? [/quote] I do! Saw your new white Beomaster 8000 - it's very nice. The white systems are nearly impossible to find in the UK.

[quote user="madskp"] I have seen them in a danish shop called Illums Bolighus recently for about 200 dkr. thats approx 24-25 GBP [/quote] That's more like it! I searched on their website though, and only found the Kay Bojesen monkeys and not the soldiers :(

[quote user="Peter "] They do still make them - though they are not really B&O. Have a look here but I would sit down before looking at the price! [/quote] It will be a small army then! Anyone have one kicking around at a more sensible price???

Looking for a new recruit to join my B&O soldier Peter. He's a drummer, so I'd like one of the other soldiers if possible (the one with the flag, or the guard in the little hut). I want to raise an army, so give me a shout if you have one :)

Very nice Chris :) I use my Beomaster 2000 with some CX50s in my home office and they're a perfect size for that type of space.

Anyone from Yorkshire planning on going???

'History' by The Verve. One of my all-time favourites. Always sounds so good loud on a decent system.

[quote user="Flappo The Grate"] when people come round and look at the pic on my avant via sky they mostly if not all say 'so that's sky hd !?' on an sd tv and sd source - the picture is THAT good that's the bno difference imo [/quote] I've had similar comments - plus people often ask me if the Avant is B&O's latest

Thanks guys :) Is there a part number for the battery? I'd be happy to fit it myself, as the case screws off once you unscrew the docking receptor from the unit.

I bought a second-hand Beosound 2, but as I use it a lot walking to and from medical school, I tend to wear the battery down quite quickly. This might be because it's a used unit, but should I be getting more than about 3-4 hours playback from it? Is it possible to either get a new battery fitted by B&O, or better still, have an aftermarket
