Now, now! Play nicely!! Still have not seen anything I want more than the iPhone.

Welcome to the Avant appreciation society!

Very nice work! Don't know why they didn't do it themselves!

Yes - though it is sometimes quite difficult to get rid of it. Mine depends a bit on atmospheric conditions.

I hate to say it, but it doesn't sound promising!

Just had some BL5000s briefly and do have the BL3000s which are like the 4500s. A cheaper option if you see some are P45s which sound very good if a little bass light.

Have a look out for some S120s - very under rated and will need refoaming if not already done. However with your 5500 system, they will sing - knock spots off the CX and RL ranges and will sound better than 4000s (which are good!) Available usually for a song!

Alex: As usual, I'm disappointed that so many people make such strong reservations about products before they've even seen them! From the pictures I've seen, it doesn't look that great, but as I said, they're only pictures. BeoLab 5s aren't that special until you hear them, the BeoVision 9 isn't that special until you see

It sounds like the battery was completely dead. Did you leave it on by mistake? I would charge it fully before trying to use it.

The MX7000 is not very good with the VX5000 - I have an LX6000 (very similar chassis) and my VX5000 cannot use most of its electronic trickery! The boring by comparison VX7000 works much better! Nice collection though! You need some better speakers!
