I've just moved, and my lovely B&O has finally been connected, although it is very dirty from the hands carrying it

I don't know if it's all in my head, but I've positioned the BL1's approx. 55cm from the Avant, (and the wall on the left side), where they only had approx. 30cm before, and I think they soound better than ever. It certainly looks much better when they aren't that close together.

Then there's the rear BL3's. These have always been fed by a single cord and then a Y-adapter, (as they can't be daisychained, something the dealer didn't tell me when I bought them ).
When I connected them to the Avant they had a very loud unfriendly noise, so I thought this was the cable I'd run inside the wall, so I connected them directly to the Avant still using the Y-splitter, and they still made the horrible noise. I then found out it was the Y piece, and I just don't understand this, as it worked fine before I put it all in boxes
They are now connected directly to the Avant until I buy a new splitter, and they just play better than ever, and I was really pleased with them before. It's incredible.

Well that was a long story, but I just felt like sharing

On a last note, can anyone tell me what will be best to remove greasy hands from my BL1's and Avant screen?? I remember something about the screen being pretty fragile, (it's the RF32DVD), and my manual is in a movingbox somewhere  

I'm surprised to read that you have ALT (BL3's) mixed with a BL1's. Don't you notice the change in sound at the higher freqencies when there is sound being piped through to the BL3's. Albeit, i'm assuming your setup is gorgeous, nothing beats the BL1's in the aesthetics department. Please do post photos of your new setup!! 

Don't use Windex on the screen (do you guys even have that product in europe?) It's glass / window cleaner - and i sparayed our BV3 (with anti-reflex screen) the moment it was placed on the TV unit without thinking. A bit of a mistake, but luckily iy doesn't affect the viewing. The spots are only noticable up close when it's turned off. 

The BL3 design is quirky isn't it! People seem to really really fall in love with this speaker, which is awesome.

If i were you i would definitely put the BL3 to use where it can be enjoyed further e.g. with your computer, or another system. Having BL4000's at the back will look VERY classy, especially if you get the uuber gorgeous stands.

Funny you mention the stands, because at my old place I had the rears behind the couch on a little shelf, which I thought would look stupid with the 4000s. My plan was to buy the stands for the BL3s to put beside my couch, but I actually think that I will think about the 4000 on stands combo in stead, as I also adore the 4000 stands. The problem now is that where I had run masterlink from the livingroom to the bedroom, (where my "office" is), at my old place, I didn't bother at my new place, as I never used it, although I have a beolink active box and only need the speakers. So if I do use the BL3s with my laptop, I won't have the ML qualities unless I run the cable on the wall, which I don't like.

EDIT: Does the BL4000 stands have the cables inside the stand as they do with the BL3's??

I also experienced that setting our speakers at the correct position makes a big difference. I have a similar setup (Avant, front BL1, BL2, rear BL4000).

I used the dolby digital site for setup instructions, this works quite nice. One of the nice links:
