    The_Beonic_Man:

    I am going to get a pair of BL 4000s sometime soon. Still amazed at the sound of those speakers and the design is something else. Love them!

    Hi Simon

    I agree with you about the Beolab4000... amazing speaker and a great value for money. Unfortunately it is often underestimated. Have you already listened to the MkII version with the ICE-power amps? I do prefer the old MkI.. maybe one day I will get myself a pair in dark-blue.

    But back to topic: Good luck to all of us for the draw! only 20 minutes to go!

    Hi Fox,

    No I haven't listened to the Mark II with the ICE powered amps, I will try to hear them at my local dealer if possible. To be honest with you it is the older pair I am talking about and I know I was absolutly amazed when I hear them. Its rather like the BeoSound 1, although I don't particularly like the design of the product too much (a little but its not my favourite) I was also amazed at the sound this unit produced. Crystal clear clarity at any volume. Unbelievable for such a small unit and I find the BL 4000s to be exactly the same. I would never require any more powerful speakers.

    Simon.

    Simon,

    Good to see you back on the forums, I was just wondering there, do you still have the BV7? I can vaguely remember discussions on it before you left.

    Re: Best of Luck and Happy Christmas to you all!

    Good evening to all you latecomers and strays that have just turned up – and a calm, collected Christmas ‘welcome’ to all that have been online in good time.  It’s the famous BeoWorld Christmas Prize Draw for 2008, which means – as in the tradtition of Christmas, that there are some quite fantastic Prizes to be given away – and for Gold Members this means facing the arduous task of doing absolutely nothing every month in order to win them!

    Yes, that’s correct – once you’re a Gold Member you only have to sit back and wait for that magical email telling you that you’ve won a Prize.  It makes it all the more exciting being online live to see what you have won, and it’s all great fun – so may I say a big Hello and a bellowing, hearty ‘Merry Christmas’ to everyone online at the moment!! We also have a special mystery Prize at the end as a special bonus… you will have to wait and see what it is at the end. Exciting? You bet !! You will need to be live, here and online to win it - so stay tuned!

    In a few seconds I will have activated the results chip and we will start announcing winners. Are we excited? I know I am, and I’m not usually one to get all soppy amongst humans but may I say it’s really lovely to be amongst such a lovely bunch of people. You lot are the best!!

    Simon. 

    The BL4000 MkII sounds even more clearer and detailed but also sounds colder than the MkI. The Lab4000's would also be sufficient for me most od the time but I still prefer my Pentas... sometime one needs a bit of luxury Wink
