Can also recommend Lifestyle-AV for online business. I'm very far away, (and i can not call international numbers on my plan). They have been honest and most obliging in every expression of interest, they have had my business four times now (bought a beo1, then a motorbase for the BV3, then the Beocenter 1, then the Beolab 1). I'm absolutely

BL1 packaging is WOEFUL!!!!!!!!! Be aware of that! Theydo not provide sufficient protection from dumb-*** couriers.

Awww hahahah thanks. :)

You are right. Not "cheap" though sir, "better value". I think this is like asking why is a beautiful older mercedes is around the same price as a newer hatchback.
