you have a good point there, in comparing the screen technologies. I love those tiny BL3. To use a boxing reference "Pound for Pound" one of the most powerful speakers ive yet to come across with good bass too. But i dunno i just a sucker for white BL9's. Hate them in black. hmm... i leaning towards keeping my gear now

Im considering a trade. i give Beovision 10-40 (5 months old) + stand + Beolab 3s +$2000 +beo 4. i get Beolab 9 (in white) + Beovision 7-40 MKIII with stand (no center speakers) + beo 5. Pull the trigger?!?
