Thanks for your input Gordon. Is there anything you recommend I look out for while on the search for a pair of CX100s?

I'll also try and pay a visit to Lifestyle

How about these?

OK, my idea was a bad one, but using the rubber rings from the BL3's could well be a sufficient solution for freeing up the space around the bass ports and that would look pretty cool too. I like that idea! Please send in a picture of what it looks like, Santiago!!

I really love the aesthetics of the BL4 and would love to have them either side of our mac. Ah if only money grew on tree's...

Of course David !

here we go:

BeoLab 4000s are actually very suitable computer loudspeakers. The problem with the 3s is that they tend to reveal everything in the recording, which for a computer isn't always a good thing as you'll be listening to lower quality sounds a lot of the time (such as compressed music etc...), and BeoLab 4s just aren't enough for some. BeoLab 4000s are much better speakers than the 4s, but are much more forgiving when it comes to poor recordings/compression than the BeoLab 3s.

Thanks for reminding me about the 4500 'incident' Dylan.  The counselling was expensive, but worth it - and now i'll book myself in for a few more sessions, thank you very much.. 

 and i become useless!

In my opinion the BL4000's a way way WAY too big for the desk! they looked ridiculous on our desk. With the BL4's set like Santiago's i suspect the sound quality would be sufficient for iTunes etc. for their size.

Thanks for putting up that the picture, that looks great (except they should be in red or grey )! What an easy solution eh! 

I think David is right about the BL4000s being too big. I would just like someting relatively compact and subtle by shape and design that can produce a nice sound.

Thanks for showing us a photo of BL4 enjoying a rubber doughnut Santiago, they look good I think and I'm interested to hear the sound difference with the elevation.
