[quote user="R Patton"] Thanks for sharing Michael, did your dealer give an E.T.A for the Beocom5? [/quote] The hope was around Christmas... but that was a BIG hope. I believe Trip had said as much on a previous thread.

[quote user="The Plumber"] Anyone know how much these will cost in English pounds? [/quote] My dealer said that the whole package would be about 1K USD for base, speaker and handset.

I thought I'd share from the new North American Catalog which I picked up this afternoon at my dealer (along with a peak at the BeoTime that they got in yesterday.)

If you aren't doing speaker 4 with music than I would recommend the BL6000 or the BL4000. The BL6000s are very small in footprint and the BL4000s are terrific sounding and a great value. I agree with Beobeo that the BL3 are probably unnecessary. However, if I had the money I'd probably go with the BL3's for purely the aesthetics of the ALT

[quote user="PhilLondon"] Beovision 8-40 is a true B&O product. I would wait a couple of month and see what the new Beovision 10-40 is about, before making my final choice.

You'd think somebody would get it right! I'm getting the Beotime because it looks

[quote user="TripEnglish"] We're accounting for it in current pre-wires. In fact, I don't believe we'll see another product released with the old ML. Of course there will be comprehensive support for ML for many years to come! [/quote] Does that mean Trip that it is based on existing cable standards like CAT6?

I'm cautious of being too optimistic about what this implies. Regardless, it sounds good.

I agree with Trip on this. I just got my Beo5 back from repair ( we'll leave that for another thread). The first thing I was looking to do after re-contemplating it's role during it's absence was simplify the programming. That's the reason it's so hard to give up our beloved Beo4. Its simple. I long for the simplicity of having just
