Thank you guys - really appreciate that advice My feeling, now, is to splash out on the 6500, but will let you know when Ive finished looking around! Ian

Hi there! Really enjoying your forum I havent bought B and O before, and have always wanted to get an 'old-school' Beosystem of separates - I have wanted one since I saw one in 1991 when I was 12!... In fact, I think it was pretty much the first CD player I ever saw... I was writing to ask what you experts thought of this deal for a 5500 system
