[quote user="stefan"] HD audio is much better than DTS or DD. You can get HD audio out of your BS3 if your BR player can decode DTS HD or DD True HD to PCM multichannel. LG BD 390 is able to decode HD audio, Beo`s internal BR player not. PCM multichannel can only be distributed via HDMI. BS3 supports PCM multichannel, so an external amplifier

Thanks for the link! We have a BV7 MKIII with 9s in front and the Beolab 1s as rears.

[quote user="Peter "] There was a thread about altering the settings on a BL1 to make it less strident - I would be tempted especially if you like the looks. The speaker is there to play music as you like it. [/quote] I remember the thread you mention. I was looking for it as I am considering moving our Beolab 1s from rears to another room

Lucky you!

Saw it today at the dealer. In a word....BEAUTIFUL. I want!

Thanks for the pricing info. Looks like it might be a possibility for me here in the US as the price would be about1/4 to 1/5 the price of a new pair and there is not much of a market here for used speakers.

We have Beolab 1s as rears with Beolab 9s. I am thinking of moving the 1s to another room and using 4000s as rears. Any thoughts on 1s verses 4000s as rears?

Please let me know....I have two pairs that I might be interested in changing the color of one pair. I want to change ours to blue.

Found this page...thought it might be of interest to some beophile.com
