Just went to Beolounge for the second time. I left pretty hastily as it was taking far too long for me to find what I wanted. Each time I clicked something it took at least a minute to load... Much better here Maybe 'BeoLounge' could be a new word for something that is very slow

I'm having trouble with the user manual for the 9000, and the link in this thread didn't work for me either.... Can it be emailed to me as an attachment instead? Thanks in advance

I think they may be called Central Sound Repairs (????)

Nice work!! I almost bought them myself, but probably didn't really need them (no Beosound 9000...YET)

Hi Andrew, Obviously apart from the B&O Service Centre, I've used a guy in Gardenvale to do some work on B&O so maybe he's worth a try. He's a bit slow in getting things done, but he seems to do a good job. His store is on New Street practically at the corner of Martin Street and he is open Saturday mornings. Maybe take it down on

Saw the following in teh 'Trading Post', a classified newspaper in Australia: 'BANG OLISON DEO, SOUND 9000. 12 months old. As new. Must sell. $5,300ono' That's all the ad had!! Would you buy this if you didn't know B&O?????? Would you even know what it is?????????
