9 LEE:

Things are really hotting up now, and we are now into our top three Prizes!
 
Third Prize this month is a BeoSound 3 Clock/Radio with SD Card reader, brand new and boxed!
 
The lucky winner of this brilliant little piece of B&O is..
 
Marc Laffitte (marc) of Paris, France  !!!
 
Conratulations from all of us! Tres Bien !!

Peter:

I'll bring my BL7000 to the Manchester meeting for you to borrow! Then you will see what the 7000 system will really do. I replaced mine with a BC2 and in many ways regret doing so except for the DAB radio. I am really delighted that you have won!

How kind Peter. I would love to take you up on that offer.
Which charger do you use for it as, if you are traveling down from Geordieland by train, you don't want to be loaded up too much.
I will be going down to Eastbourne the weekend before King Street to collect my lovely prize, so for one week I will run the 7000 through the Avant as my Pentalabs and 8000s are connected to it.
If you loan the BL7000 to me, I will have to connect the speakers into the 7000 system and make it two way and also a master in order to see the benefit of your wonderful remote.
After that, I will be torn between two decisions. Do I buy a BL7000 or do I revert back to the surround sound provided by my Avant?
Difficult one, that. Unless there is a way to get the best of both worlds.

Stonk:

It is custom now that the 1st prize winner has to hold a Beoworld get together at his home to include all food & plentiful drink - shouldn't cost more than a couple of grand.

 

Congratulations Andy!!
 

Thanks Steve. Any Beoworlders are more than welcome to pay a visit if they are in the locality but PM first and don't all come together!

Not completely necessary! In the main room use a Beo4 and set the 7000 to Option 0 and the Avant to Option 2 with the speakers attached to it. Connect a MCL2A in another room attached to the 7000 and the BL7000 works perfectly. I use mine in my bedroom which has the LX6000 in it - which is 2 way and which gives me a display of what my Avant, BC2 and sky box are doing! Only on the red display but I am effectively getting 2 way from 1 way systems!! It worked very well with my system when I had the 7000 system but less well now as I cannot program.  

Fascinating!
Which socket would you plug the MCL2A into? Bear in mind that the Beolink out socket will be going to the Beolink converter under my Avant.

Andy T.

The 7000 system connects to the Avant through the Audio Aux/Tape 2 7 pin DIN plug and Beolink converter (1611). The MCL2A connects to the speaker 2 sockets of the BM7000. You can run a complete MCL system off this. You can also run a ML system from the Avant! I do have a spare MCL2A if you need one!

Congratulations to all who have won!

Especially Andy, who I actually met in Struer. I'm sure that 7000 system will be put to good use.

 

 

Edit:

I just noticed from Lee's screenshots that the random number generator is 2.0 beta. Can it really be trusted?

Hi everyone,

Just returned from my weekend abroad. Sadly I wasn't able to be online with all of you last night, but this thread seems like there was a very tense atmosphere amongst all of you as Lee counted down the prize winners.

Congratulations to Andy, the remaining winners and the rest of us Goldies who will hopefully be winning too in the future!

Congratulations to everyone and especially to Andy. Well done!!

I really enjoyed your tour Andy and it was nice of you to share this with us.

 

Enjoy your new toy then  

Congratulations to all winners!

and especially to Andy!

Me too missed the prize-draw as I made a week-end trip (okay, friday included ) to Nürnberg.

Foxtrott

Unfortunately,I was unable to log into the live draw.

I am absolutely gobsmacked to have won a prize.

Only the second time in 66 years!

Many thanks.

Terry.
