I note that the owner is now a fellow Beoworlder!

Indeed Judith is, and she tells me that at London's recent OpenHouse week-end, a number of B&O owners visited who were interested in their Lutron integration (which I had forgotten to mention!)

Glad you liked it. I probably try it out next time I get to London. I used to go pretty regular but now with the weak $ I cut down a bit on european vacations and just head over the atlantic to see family.

Cheers

I forgot to thank you for the original post ...

I followed the link up and treated myself to a stay there and had a wonderful time exploring the area, visiting the local B&O dealership (closed now I think).

I also enjoyed "messing" around with the BV6 and Beocom 2 -- a bit of a "busman's" holiday for a B&O fanatic ! I had seen many a BV6 in hotels before, but they were very much a "closed" system - this time, with permission of course, I was able to do some rewiring and programming of their set-up.

Came away impressed by the BV6's flexibility and capabilities - convinced that B&O could sell more if they made the ML a multi-lane AV freeway, rather than it being a narrow one way street.

I was also impressed by the attention to detail (e.g. the BeoCom's colour was chosen to compliment the apartment's colour scheme) and the overall luxury finish to the "pod" - yes, it was small (some might say tiny) but it suited me.

Not so sure the BC2 won me over ... I still like my BC 6000 :-)

It would take me about one evening to haul all that crap out to make room for my B&O collection, and end up with a cupboard similar to this one I'm living in now, except in a noisier environment. But oh crap, I have to pay for my broadband

It looks more like a "luxury" cupboard!

Interesting...

Little bit cold atmosphere for my taste !
