jk1002: @ Alex, the documentation how to connect Beomaster to a Mac was posted here. That was the documentation for the BeoMedia, not the BeoSound 5. We'll find out quite soon whether or not it'll accept Apple Lossless, I too am interested in this...

I'm gonna need to set up a RAID array soon. I've just bought myself a nice shiny new iMac, and I want to back it up along with my 750 gb Firewire drive holding my iTunes library...

jk1002: It cant handle Apple loss less files. Documentation says AAC except lossless. You've seen the actual BeoSound 5 documentation - or the documentation that goes with BeoMedia? As always, I feel you should reserve judgement until you've actually seen it. B&O don't design their products to look nice in photos, they're designed to look nice in real

Agreed. There's no point in speculating about it when really there is no useful information available about it. B&O have done a good job keeping it under wraps which IMO is a good thing - helps build up hype around the product...

I agree with BMGHB - there's a definite lack of BeoLab 9s or 5s there!

Congrats. to the winners. Hopefully I'll be able to actually get online next time there's a draw!

Had a chance to catch up! Schoolwork has kept me working until about half an hour ago!

Christian: mason: So Beosound 5 is NOT by David Lewis. Interesting. Maybe they have pulled Jensen out of retirement. No AFAIK it is done by Anders Hermansen (A8, EarSet 1, 2 & 3 and BeoLab 2000). All designs I like! I personally thought the BeoLab 2000 was one of B&O's best products at the time. Shame it's gone... The review reads well. Everything

All my amps of that era have buzzed. So far my 3000, 4000 and 4400 all suffered from it! Surprisingly though, my 900 hasn't...

I'd try BeoLab 5 if it's an option in your speaker menu. On top of that, check the position settings on the BeoLab 9s. It may well be the case that you've been used to a very bass-heavy sound with your BeoLab 2 (they often seem to be set up to give more bass than they should).
