I think that big corporations do a pretty good job of keeping their legal practices separate from their business practices. It is not uncommon for two competitors to being suing each other over IP infringement at the same time that they are both manufacturing and selling components to each other. Happens all the time in the automotive industry as well

Greetings Everyone I am curious what methods you folks use to calibrate or tweak your HDTVs. Back in the days of tubes, I remember there was a DVD made by Avia that did a decent job. I have seen a few newer setup/calibration DVDs on the market (Disney WOW, Spears & Munsil, DVE) in addition to a new version of Avia. I have also heard people talk

[quote user="TripEnglish"] Considering the relative dud that the AppleTV has been, I can't see Apple building a dedicated set and being able to push enough into the field to capture enough revenue from apps, rentals, etc. [/quote] As a very early adopter of the Apple TV, I simply cannot understand why it has not been more successful. I

[quote user="geoff martin"] It's pretty normal to see a BL9 / BL3 combo in the listening rooms here in Struer (with various Centre Channel options). This works fine for movies where the surround information is usually fairly uncorrelated with the front channels. However, if you're doing multichannel music, then you'll need to match

[quote user="11048437"] hi there, was in the same doubt as you. My initial setup: Beolab 5 front, Beolab 7.1 center and Beolab 4000 as surround. New configuration: Beolab 5 front, Beolab 7.4 center and Beolab 3 as surround. There is a huge( and i mean huge) difference between the 2 config. New setup is more detailed, center speaker makes a

[quote user="macjonny1"] As far as the sound metering, it is sad that B&O's BS3 doesn't have something like Audessey to help set the speaker levels and distance/etc automatically. [/quote] Sorry for being a neophyte, but can you explain what Audessey is? With respect to the BS3, I was under the impression (perhaps mistakenly) that

[quote user="beolion"] The only noticable difference I could hear from the 7-6 compared to 7-2 was the stereo part, since the speaker is wider. It is easier to notice the stereo. I have the 7-2 to my 7-55 (I re-used them from my old 7-40), and I do like that the speaker is smaller than the TV. I think that the 7-6 is too big for our living

Wow, thanks for all of the great advise. I will ask my dealer if they will let me compare the Beolab 4000 with the Beolab 3 in my setup. If you don't mind I would like to ask a follow up questions with regards to the 7.6 center speaker. My dealer really could not give me any pros and cons of the 7.6 versus the 7.2. Both are the same price and I

Greetings Everyone My wife and I have talked about getting a B&O system for years, and yesterday we finally pulled the trigger and purchased the following: Beosystem 3 Beolab 9 (front channels) Beolab 7.6 (center channel) Now we need to decide on the rear channels. Seems like the Beolab 3, 4 and 4000 are the primary contenders. Our AV room is relatively
