my avant pic has: (1) cable box running (4) lines / (1) masterlink to a bs9000 / (2) powerlink leads to bl4000 (front L+R) / (1) powerlink to bl6000 (rear L daisy-chained to R) / (2) power leads for surge / (1) avant power lead.

i will be adding a non b&o sub prob this weekend which will add (1) rca line to the above mix.

everything runs through the rectangular enclosure(s) at the baseboard/carpet interface.

it took a lot of effort (and an 11 month old) to get the back of the avant that clean -but i enjoyed every minute of it, really!

I'm just amazed at how many cable there are coming out of that BV7!
Power, RF In, RF Out, 4 Speakers and Subwoofer, V8000, BS9000, Beomedia 1, TVix 6500, Satellite receiver and a IR cable for PUC. And I am happy I could take out two scarts and one optical cable for audio

can you daisy chain the speakers at least? Yikes well i don't have that much connected (THREE THINGS! AC, DVD, SAT) and it's still a horrific rats nest behind the TV cabinet ... hehe

Peter your avant is impressive, but surely you don't have those 14 or so things connected

Quim, when you get the chance, will you come and sort out the back of my Avant?

I would be happy to chat about it ! It would seem a very simple idea and one that would appeal to the vast majority of B&O users.

Interesting thought Peter.....

Let me know if you want some help turning your good ideas into a finished product!

Best regards,

Steve.

I postulated a solution a number of years ago. You need a custom Medusa head wire with lots of heads but one body. You could easily standardise a couple of these to suit most systems and it would make cable management so much easier. If there was need for aqn exra cable, it would not have to fight the huge tangle we have now. A standard cable could also have the necessary shielding so interference could be avoided.
