    Oh right... my mistake...

    Earlier today, I was in B&O High Street Kennsington (in London). Anyway, as some may know, it's within a few hundred yards of the tube station and so innitially I was unsuprised when I heard a loud sound of a tube train passing underground. I queried though, why they'd chosen to have an audio shop when you could be interupted by passing trains. I was informed that what I'd heard (and felt!) was in fact the sound of a passing train in a movie in their listening room. Quite embarassing for me, although I was certainly left suitably impressed. I couldn't help but wonder though how annoyed the neighbouring shops must have been. I can't help wonder what it's like trying to sell expensive shoes and the like when you're occasionally interupted by explosions, hurricanes and x-wing fighters from time to time

    Re: Oh right... my mistake...

    That's one thing the B&O surround sound systems give you far more of than other systems I've heard - serious punch...

    BeoLab 5s are obviously the best for this. Having seen quite a lot of movies etc... with the BeoLab 5s, there is absolutely nothing which even touches them in terms of really making you jump out of your seat!

    The Geiser (?) scene in Ice Age 2 is pretty amazing through a BV9 / BL5 + 4x BL3's.
