Works nicely, though you have to have the BL5s off when connecting if you want to try it. (Impedance blasts while connecting can destroy your tweeters if you don&#39;t.) And don&#39;t disconnect while playing.<br /></p><p>The chap in London story I heard had a man coming to a B&amp;O dealer, and asking whether the BL5s were as good as he&#39;d been told. He had the dealer connect his iPod to a pair, and bought them on the spot.</p><p>BTW - the digital-to-analog converter in a regular iPod is not good enough to get even close to what BL5s can do - and when you turn up the volume you&#39;ll hear hiss in quieter portions of your music. What you should do is get a converted iPod with iLink from msb Technologies:</p><p><a href="http://www.msbtech.com/products/iLink_web.jpg">http://www.msbtech.com/products/iLink_web.jpg</a>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;This has digital out, which you can then connect to the digital coax in of your BL5s. Then it&#39;s the DACs in the BL5s you are using. Store lossless music on the iPod, and you have the convenience and fun of a really small source delivering a blast of uncompressed music.</p><p><img height="343" src="http://www.msbtech.com/products/iLink_web.jpg" width="300" />&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/68429.aspxSun, 02 Dec 2007 05:35:21 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:68429dp0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/68429.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=68429<p>I heard about a chap in London who bought a pair of Beolab 5s and connected them to an iPod nano. in black obviously!<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/02.gif" alt="Big Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/68407.aspxSun, 02 Dec 2007 03:48:11 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:68407DoubleU0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/68407.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=68407<p><BLOCKQUOTE><div><img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"> <strong>The Stig - ver. 1.5:</strong></div><div>Yamaha all in one surround speaker instead of BL7.1/2 <img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /></div></BLOCKQUOTE></p><p>You mean the one with 40 speakers, with 40 individual amplifiers?
