Just a thought..........you have undone the 3 transit screws underneath the unit????

I suspect your man is talking about a BRAND NEW IN BOX 6500 system complete with BNIB speakers which ends tonight. IF it is what it says it is then it is worth all of £1500. Active or passive speakers work equally as well with Beosystem 6500 depending on the mans ears!

Hello Tony. Kind words indeed from Chris, now I've got to live up to them! Chris is quite correct in his analysis of the fault and of most B&O service centres - the price they quoted was diabolical and probably designed to drive you away.
