Very stylish is all I can say. I wonder when my turn will be?

The ball is the very best for your back. Colour is a personal thing.

Very nice Alex - not sure about the excercise ball though - that'd certainly spell a week in hospital for me if I sat on the thing

Just seen your photo on the Beoworld news item and that horrible American imported word "dude" has been lodged in my forebrain ever since

Enjoy the BL 4's mate - you deserve them

Chris.

Hey Alex,

I like your room, it's neat and clean. Your girlfriend may be very happy to have you
By the way, I like the mix between your MacBook Pro and your sweet BL4's from B&O.
Keep on collecting B&O, but beware as we don't now when this will end... (B&O virus)

Congratulations, Alex, they look great!
Not entirely convinced about the blue exercise ball though - I'm sure I've seen them advertised for a completely different reason to the one you stated!!!
And don't listen to the old men on here - I'm only 22 and my room is immaculate - times have changed, guys! Stop harassing us and go and collect your pensions or something!
Now that's fightin' talk!! The young folk of today just don't show any respect for their elders etc. etc. blah, blah, blah. And let me tell you somrthing else, blah, blah, twitter, twitter!

Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch 'when I were a lad...'

RE my room being tidy, it's actually always like this! I'm actually bit of a neat freak

As for the volume level, I tried it, but at really low volume levels, the dithering produces some really noticeable artifacts when I'm listening to Boards of Canada. No worry though, I found an in-line minijack volume control for £5, so no harm done if it turns out to be a pile of junk...

Alex:

I'm also going to get an in-line volume reducer, as I'm finding my MBP's volume control steps are too large, and even on the the bottom step, it's a tad too loud for quiet 'going to sleep' listening (I always go to sleep to music).
If you're listening mostly to compressed music and files you find on the net, as you mention above, you can use the iTunes equalizer to reduce the db out level, that actually takes the line level volume down quite a bit.
And this brilliant little program connects with your iTunes library, and lets you set music to fall asleep or wake up to -- while you can set over how long a time it should fade ... It also lets you set the start volume.

Nice pictures!

I also love the BL4s, they are really good for their size!

Dear Alex:

Congrats !!

My current set up includes BL 4s hooked to a iMac 17 inch. I have been watching movies on this set up. The BL 4s continue to impress me with their sound fullness and bass reproduction. I find myself surprised by their sound stage.

Enjoy,

Dario

Don't you just know he's had a tidy-up before taking the photos! No teenager I know (my two at least) keep their bedroom like this!

(If you do in fact do keep your bedroom like this I apologise unreservedly but will then tell you............chill out and swing low a little)!!!

I feel comfortable saying this as you ain't my child - if your Mum asks who said it was OK just tell her it was a Northern Slob - she'll understand!!

They look splendid by the way, enjoy - the computer looks a little "me too" though with sockets on the sides - how stylish is that!!!
