I am considering the 428 XD and wondered if its possible to connect a BL7.2 to the audio output? Does anyone know if its a variable output operable from the Pioneer remote? Will it bypass the built in speakers? If it is then am I right in thinking that I just need an RCA to Powerlink converter thingy? Where can such a thing be procured? If its a fixed

My BV7 mk3 showed a light improvement after about a week.At present I am underwhelmed with the PQ.This is watching SD via Freview and terrestrial broadcasts. Blacks may be better than before but with the lights out it is still 'LCD black'...meaning grey! Perception of depth is also pretty average [compared to the Avant] it is far from the stunning

Alex...I never once said the 3s were more natural than the 5s.I said musical.By which I mean the conveyance of emotion and intent,whilst having an ability to involve the listener.In contrast to the 'accurate' camp. Unless someone else said the 3s are more natural? Also,I have qualified my various comments at each point.I even said that I am

David,you have overstepped the mark with your assertion towards me.Sure it's a forum,but to insinuate that my hearing is fccked and hence my opinions lack validity is downright OFFENSIVE.Shame on you. They are my opinions based on what I have heard in various environments over the last couple of years.My aural and design crieria may differ from

Of course,the 3s are far from perfect and not the last word in transparency,but I do like their coherance,especially at lower volumes. We also have the 8000s but I prefer the solidity and more natural top end of the 3s.Mine don't sound bright at all,partly because the room isn't acoustically reflective/live. The 9s really were pretty unlistenable

Once upon a time I was a musician so am well aware of what live music sounds like ;-) I have also been to many gigs over the lst 40 plus years and listened to countless setups and used to sell hi end hifi.Even worked in a B&O shop over 20 years ago and been on their training courses... Always underwhelmed with the 5s whenever I have heard them at

I had the 9s at home for a week,played them for 10-12 hrs a day, desperately wanting them to break in before I made a decision.The top end sounded very hard too. Better not mention the breaking in phenomenon in front of the Beoworld naysayers. A complete relief to listen to the 3s after. I am also not a fan of the BL5s. Never heard them sounding musical

It is a shame that B&O seem to have designed the BL2 to sound 'impressive' to Joe Public,rather than musically satisfying. In the same way that dealers are allegedly told to dem systems with the Loudness on,which is the default factory setting. It does seem a bit at odds with having a critical panel of Golden Ears! Anyway,all will be forgiven

I love my 3s and can't imagine ever getting rid of them.I have them hooked up to a black BL2 in preference to the BL9 which I just couldn't get on with sonically [hollowed midrange here] The sub, to me, has a 'valvey' sound when playing music...soft,ill-defined bass.Impressive for tv viewing but far from ideal for faster stuff.It's

I am thinking of getting a Mk3 BV7 but without the centre speaker and hooking it up to BL2+3. I'm not cocerned about the merits of having a centre for speech etc,rather I just want to know if it will work with acceptable sound quality. Btw,I don't want the centre because I prefer the clean lines of the tv without and the extra width [especially
