I got a Beosound Century floor sample for cheap since it was all I could afford at the time. I sold it for more than I bought it for 8 years later.

[quote user="PhilLondon"] Although the App is working fine, LinkPlayer on the Mac tends to crash when used with the App. I have not had the time to fix this bug which is quite hard to replicate. Also, I have sent the app to 4 people, but there seems to be a problem of code signature and they were not able to install. [/quote] It might need

Anything new with the iPhone app? Or maybe an iPad app?

And in this world, Apple buys B&O. Then they do this to the TVs: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/03/23/apple_positioned_to_introduce_connected_hdtv_within_2_4_years.html And then everything has the look and the physical quality of B&O and the general usefulness and software quality of Apple.

Too bad you can't use a a BS5 as the front end for a Mini or an AppleTV.

[quote user="PhilLondon"] The Apple TV synchronises with your main Mac's iTunes and iPhoto. The mac mini wouldn't, so you have to manage your media library manually. p. [/quote] It's a Mac Mini. Just put everything on it and you're set.

[/quote] $10k would get you the quintessential B&O system: BS3200 and BL6000 (maybe even BL8000, not sure). Or it'll get you the NAD C-785 surround receiver, NAD C545

[quote user="jk1002"]When it comes to if B&O is cheaper or not, it is not that different if you take out sales tax and ignore short term excessive currency fluctuations. [/quote] Why would I want to do that? Sales tax in Germany is twice what it is in California, everyone I know back in San Francisco makes more than everyone I know in

I'm going to go ahead and stick with the comment I made about Euros having generally better aesthetic taste than Americans. Find a few middle class (like low level white collar cubicle dwellers) Americans and Europeans and ask them what they'd buy for A/V (or just A) if they had, say, $10,000 and it had to fit in their living room.
