Wonderfulelectric is correct here. Goldmund doesn't believe in the centre channel - which is kind of a special statement, as long as movies are mixed with one. But their reasoning makes sense - they feel the centre channel, even with a proper movie projection screen that is perforated to allow the sound to bleed through, is just not right, and that

garry - if you're living in an area where B&O equipment has been installed in all the housing units, then the developer should have the pin code, or they should even be in the documents you've received. If not, and if it's an official B&O installation, then the dealer that did the enterprise will be able to help you out. Just get

I asked my daughter why she hadn't answered an e-mail I sent her a while ago. "Dad, no one uses e-mail anymore." Yup, we're old fogeys, Medogsfat

I'm very pleased with my BV8, and have used it as you have, with BL3s. It's an excellent television - would have been perfect with surround processing.

I do agree with you that there is a difference between analog and digital feed to the speakers, definitely. After all, I do all my music listening to the digital feed connection! This is the brilliance of active speakers with their own on-board processing - you can actually go straight from the digital file to the speaker, without a lot of boxes in

I believe mbee has it right here, affineur. You were listening to the bleed-off to the L/R fronts, without the information in the centre channel signal - because of this limitation in B&O surround processing. I guess some beancounter decided that in order to be able to sell centre channel speakers, they wouldn't allow a no centre channel option

I agree with Alex as far as "Powerlink being a no-go." Try to match the sound levels before comparing - it's incredible what a few dB will add to the soundstage and detailing. I still feel that the digital feed to the BL5s is superior to analog, but maybe not as radically different as your initial test may indicate. (Could it also be that

I would think that in the second comparison, both sources were feeding the BL5s through the coax s/pdif. In theory and in practise, there should be no difference to the 16/44.1 digital output -- you'll find audiophile magazines going on about jitter, feedback loops and whatnot - but I really can't hear a difference. Over at Moultonlabs.com there's

@koning - I've been told correct me if it isn't true, that this would end up in incorrect fase behaviour. I feel that I can hear the phase manipulations distinctly, both in Q-sound effects, and in other ways of projecting sound from one or very few sources. Most bothersome. The moving sweetspot possibility also potentially suffers from this
