[quote user="burantek"] [quote user="jk1002"]Interesting reaction. I personally think Iphone control of my B&O is a waste of space but peeps here were drooling over that - and now its too expensive now we get it. I guess they can only looose ....[/quote] I don't know... I think that it is a bit of a win for them. If you have

So you need to spend ~2000 Euro to be able to use your free iPhone App to control your B&O! Still, it's a start and what a lot of people have been asking for

If they are Beolab's then they're active speakers and have the amps built in. Read HERE If driven from a B&O source the displays will indicate system related info. They can be driven from a non-B&O source (at line level) but the digital info to the displays will be missing.

[quote user="soho100"] Thanks for the info, I'll place them somewhere safe first thing tomorrow. They were part of a recording studio which was removed in an insurance claim...apparently they were in working order prior to removal. Any ideas on what they may be worth for quick sale?

[quote user="markiedee"] that looks like that would suit your room perfectly i think you should go for it. [/quote] I'm not so sure. I think it visually overpowers the Lab 3's. The "BV10" looks a lot less domineering.

[quote user="tournedos"] I'm also pretty convinced that the BS5 is essentially nothing but a display panel and a USB HID device (mouse and/or keyboard). [quote user="Puncher"] Disabling MOTS if you haven't bought a BS5 is a different issue - very sneaky on B&O's part if it is indeed true. [/quote] Not particularly

[quote user="elephant"] ..................... I was told that MOTS was implemented in the BS5 not the BM5 so I delayed my purchase[/quote] I would be very suprised if this was true! I can see how they can only allow MOTS to run if a BS5 is connected but it seems crazy that you would engineer it such that all of the required audio analysis
