    Re: Beovision 3 or Avant

    You need a 4400! In my view, even nicer to listen to! I have fewer these days - 900, a couple of 5500s, 7000, 8000 and 4400. 4401 and Beolab 5000 to come soon! Lee has my 6000 quad - wonderful looking but not that great sounding. The late 6000 is similar to the 4400 in electronic design - how do you find it compares to the 8000?

    The 80s 6000 sounds good and is a nice 'relaxed' amp to listen to in a smaller room. My living room is quite large, and when I want to do some serious listening with the Beovox Pentas, the 8000 is the one to power these large speakers. I just really like the 8000 :)

    BTW - build quality on the 8000 is better than the 6000. 8000 feels more solid (and weighs about 45 times more!)

    Very true! The 8000 has a huge transformer and the heat sinks must weigh a fair bit. Mine stays in the stand as moving it is no joke. The Beolab 5000 is similar in build quality - actually I would say better in some ways though is about half the weight - it is only 10kg!

    Yep - only Beolab 5000 system I've seen in the flesh was Andy's, and I was really surprised at how substantial the two units are. Unfortunately though, it only made me want one more!

    Can I add a projector to the following set up and control it using a BEO4 remote?

    Avant 32 RF

    BC2

    BL8000

    I'll add a BL2 and BL4 as rears later on.....

    Thanks
