I wish you luck in your new guise!

We will discuss all your thoughts and see what we can change. Clearly it will be after the Struer trip now but please do keep posting as we are very aware that every forum has shortcomings and anything we can do to make things better will be done. Of the ones posted so far, I certainly agree that: 1 More threads per page. - should be possible. 2. Notification

Hate to disappoint you, but the draw is at the end of May! Lee decided that as we started mid month, and we had problems with people being able to register as gold members that the draw was always going to be at the end of May.That is one of the reasons the first prize is a special one though we plan to offer similar worth prizes in the future. At present

I can sympathise with both points of view here. I think the BL4 is overpriced and is a poor choice as a main speaker. However I think it is more than adequate for a rear speaker, is discrete and easy to connect using Powerlink. It is the most cost effective way to get a fully active surround sound system. I have 4000s as my rear speakers and I feel

But Beoworld would be a different place without hugely generalised sweeping statements from Alex! Kevin and Chris are correct that B&O speakers are designed to work with the Beocenters and are well worth looking at. I am aware however that you are probably on a budget and hence my advice. Long term, a nice pair of S45-2s would be a good choice or

Any speakers will do - B&O speakers are not necessarily better. The BM5000 is a good amplifier and will drive most speakers well.

Not sure we are going to resolve this one here as I have said before. There is no point in arguing with Tascam about what he saw as only he saw it and if he says they were scratched etc, that is clearly all that is important to him. I am very sorry your introduction to B&O has been so poor. At least it sounds as though you have an excellent system

Maybe you will get a nice new one!!

I think this thread has run its course! I have sympathy for tascam's viewpoint as he has clearly been shown three models that do not meet the standards he expects - quite reasonably in my view. However I do not see that throwing emotive phrases around is now adding to the debate from either side. I hope that the dealer can answer some of your worries

Actually the BV9 is rather cheaper than I thought it would be! Considering you get a 50" screen and Beomedia and an HDR2 as well as a Beolab 7.4 and all the flexibility of the Beosystem 3 in a superb looking case with a motorised stand, it seems a bargain!!
