Re: The best DVD/CD that show off your B&O setup

I came back from a trip overseas and visited a B&O store and they were playing a music DVD of robbie williams and it sounded fantastic! I think it's one of their preferred demo dvds (like the Eagles one) but I didn't get the name of it...it featured Robbie in one of his concerts...and it was an outdoor concert...just wondering if people know which one this might be...since this is the best sounding Robbie William that I've ever heard and sounded great on the BL5 too!

Love the reference to Dave Holland Big Band. I have this album and have never listened to it. I have some other dave holland big band albums and they are really kinda tense to listen to. I'll give Overtime a listen... Cheers

IMO, Overtime is one of the best Big-Band Albums of the last years. It get's even better if you compare the quintet versions of the songs to the arrangments for Big-Band. Great fun!

DVD: Finding Nemo, makes a bad TV look good

Funny, that's exactly what was playing in our B&O store a while back on a BeoVision 7. Considering that gentleman, who was quite disappointed with his, there must be something onto this : )

Hi
Just asking, what DVD/CD player are you using - what I mean is, it is not only the music but also the player and speakers there make it to the top.

I'm using the built in DVD player in my Avant, which unfortunatly is a bit to noisy, and the disc can be heard spinning during lowvolumed passages of movies. :o(

The scene with the beans and drums from House of Flying Daggers is a pretty good surround demo.....

Definitely Batman Begins. Fantastic film with great sound effects throughout, from the opening scene right to the end. Best sequences are any involving "the tumbler" !!

I see tha many have mentioned The Eagles and "Hell Feezes Over"

The CD track Hotel California with Beloab 5's made the hairs on the back of my kneck stand on end which meant I had to buy them!!!

After that the Active Listeneing from B&O - track 12 is awsome.

A favourite DVD is the car chase near the end in Gone in 60 Seconds if you have a surround setup.
