Have been occupied with other makes for a while, but now I&amp;#39;m considering coming back to B&amp;amp;O with a bang, and getting a BS9000 and a set of Beolab 5 speakers...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So I think I&amp;#39;m going to buy the BS9000 used, so what version should I get? I&amp;#39;m not so sure I&amp;#39;m going to use the N-music thing, since I have a large CD collection, and enjoy playing CD&amp;#39;s instead of music files.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the beolab 5&amp;#39;s I&amp;#39;m looking for sound quality. Is there any large difference between the different versions as to sound quality?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Andreas&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
