[quote user="jk1002"] I would strongly recommend a home demo before you buy. When I connected my BL3s direct to my BV8 rather then to my BC2 I noticed a huge difference in sound when playing CDs. in fact I am not using my BL3s anymore for watching TV. Giving the amount of money you are about to drop, I ask the dealer about it. Cheers JK [
