    OK gang I need ideas on what to spend my money on (B&O related please)

    Thankfully, due to the current economic whatnot (I hate the standard phrase, so over worked now), my happy employer has made me redundant.

    As ever with times like these it's time again to invest in B&O, I know strange huh the only time I get to buy something decent is everytime I get kicked out of a job - but hey that's one for the pricing topics! Big Smile

    Anyway, I currently have: In the flat downstairs...

    Living Room:

    beo4, Avant DVD 32RF, BS3200 (ML to Avant), BL2500 x2 plugged into Avant

    Bedroom:

    Avant RF out to normal panasionic 14", BL3500 ML to Avant, one Beo4 in Link only mode as open plan.

    Then upstairs I have 3 more bedrooms plus open plan Kitchen/dinning/living room.

    I'm not intending to get rid of anything just to add to it, so what from a sound/vision point of view would be best to go for.

    Also can be new and/or from Lifestyle AV Big Smile

    When you say BL2500 X 2, do you mean two pairs or two speakers?
    If the latter, I would defo get a pair of 8000s for the front and move the 2500s to the rear.
    If you've enough dosh, add a Beolab 2.
    If I buy anything in 2009, it will be either a Beosound 9000 or a Beolab 2. (Not counting Beocom 5 which I will get anyway)

    Yes -  thumbs up

    I can't imagine any B&O setup without BL8000!

    when your Black Label begin to taste like juice just take shot or two of Absinthe and after that quench with some vodka, if you still feel juice like take beer with grappa !

    White BL9's, with a Beosound 4, move 3200 with bl2500's to bedroom... small B&o tv from lifestyle AV for the bedroom, that's what i'd do, and to be creative i'd have the AVANT shell professionally painted white.

    Thanx Dave, although remember it's NZD hehehehe. I don't like the BS4, having the Avant White is a thought though. Idea

    BL9's hmmmmm, might have to be BL3 or 8000.

    Thanks for the input Andy, yeah it is just two  Smile and yeah I think I'll get the Beocom5 too  Big Smile

    Re: OK gang I need ideas on what to spend my money on (B&O related please)

    Just an idea.

    Wouldn't it be better to keep the money for a while until you settle to a new job?

    Sorry for mentioning this but under the current global financial crisis we all have to be a bit careful! After all this is just a hobby.

    Best regards

    I suggest you think in charitable terms of those less fortunate who cannot consider any B&O purchases whatsoever at this time. Don't be selfish.
