I am 95% satisfied.  I have an Avant/US, a BS-9000, a pair of BL-6000 speakers, an AppleTV, an Xbox 360, and an old Reveox A-77 all hooked up together.  If I stay with my Beo4 I am in heaven, the Beo5 is the source of my only frustration...and I know that it is just a tweak here and there to get it right.

But the devil is in the details.... 

I'm 100% happy with my setup.

1. BV7-40 - have two early 2005 HD Ready models. We can't all keep up with the latest technology with a new TV every other week. However, with DVD, it's pretty solid and will last a few more years. Upgraded with the Freeview STB card. Wish I had not bothered as most programmes are rubbish anyway. Still looks brand new and friends still get tricked to thinking it's still the very latest. Moving the BV7 as much as I do, you get used to hiding wires. Not a problem for me.

1. BL5 - Just keep sounding better and better. Doubt I will every sell these. Looking for a second pair.

1. BL3 - Ditto, discrete little surround rears. Again, rock-solid and I can see these too will last and last and last.

1. BC2 - one of the very first out of the factory. Been another rock-solid work horse. Plays CD's only (no scart connect) via the sp/dif. Integrates beautifully well with the BL5's and BV7-40 to provide digital sound output.

1. Serenata - Surprisingly nice and simple. Was not initially impressed but has grown on me. Does everything a mobile should and no more. Even the texting becomes quick once you get used to it (and that you can hear the clicks - otherwise harder to text fast). The user interface I find to be a gem once you get used to it.

1. Beo5 - got it for the "wow" factor and had to force myself off the Beo4. It has been extensively programmed/optimised just the way I want it. Has the same basic faults and the Beocenter 9500 and BL7000 i.e. finger prints. So happy the Beosound 5 won't be touch screen. Not wholly a good idea really.

1. BS1 (SE) - again another little workhorse which gives honest CD and Radio to the kitchen. Simple, fuss-free music. Another long-termer.

Overall, I think I have a very solid and dependable AV system which is used daily and gives a huge amount of pleasure. It's not the latest or greatest, but is good enough for me to last a good few more years. I just don't see that I am missing all that much - if anything at all with the latest gadgets. It's smooth, sophisticated, perfectly integrated and dead-simple to operate. If you wanna watch TV, DVD or listen to a CD or radio, it does it all very competently. If you want to pay £25,000 to play features or  twiddle settings, well, you're wasting your money. There is plenty of equipment on the market which can do that much for cheaper.

10%

I am 75% happy;

- The music part of my setup is 100% ok: BS9000; BL1 and BL2.

- The video part is 50% ok; my Avant is showing problems and I can not find a proper replacement in the current program (price/performance wise). This is a tricky problem since I am a big movie lover and really want to keep my DD surround sound; B&O only has 'high investment' solutions for this.

80% happy with my combo of BS3200 ML to Avant ML to BeoPort ML to BL3500.

I guess my 20% frustration comes to being skint and wanting nice speakers, I only have my other BL2500 I've had since day one of B&O ownership  

Dave:

Just how many of you are 100% happy with your full B&O system right now?

Me? I say 95%.

I extend my collecting and masterlink system slowly and bit by bit. Everything is still performing as new and still gives me the B&O feeling.

The 5% missing belongs to the inability of the masterlink system to handle multiple sources. My kids can't listen to music in the living room (unless they use the DVD) when I listen to sports on the radio somewhere else. (The other way round is not an option 😁)

I'm 100% happy.

I must say that the Beolab 5's are far beyond my expectations. The Beosound 9000 is an absolute gorgeous  CD and radio player that suits so well with the Lab5's.

 I had a more expensive Stereo setup (only CD) before, the B&o one is about 22.000 euro, and my old one was around 25.000 euro. Which is better? The B&O. And that's no "BS". I must admit, I moved to B&O for personal reasons, and not for "I'm going to get a better sounding system", cause I didn't actually believe that I would get a better system.

I have come to the conclusion that B&O is actually great value for money, probably more so than many of the high-end audio manufacturers.

But try and convince a HIFI nut of this? Impossible.
