A perfectly fair response - and you will win quite a lot of the time. But one day you will get something that seems to work only to fail a short time later and which will cost serious money to fix. I know as I have done this myself! However it is all part of the game! These days, if I want something, I want it just to work and as Graham says, I will be happy to pay for the privilege. There are some things that it is definitely worth paying the money for though - tangential decks being one of them!

I have a couple of spare Beolink 1000's lying around, have sent you a PM. I will of course provide a refund if they aren't as expected 🙂

I appear to have bought a BNIB Beolink 1000 for £21, which probably settles all possible discussions :)

Well done!

Yes, well done.

Sorry if I sound like a smart-*** (there's definitely that side to me). I'm just pleased with how it turned out. Watch now as it turns out looking like it's been shot to the moon and back, and working less well than Venezuelan foreign policy.

Just for the record, it's not me who sold that Beolink 1000 to him.

'seems to be..........I think you can trust them' isn't exactly a stunning endorsement of Lifestyle AV is it?  They are certainly a good outfit........... along with others.

Have you had personal experience of using LSAV to make such a comment and experience of other resellers such as Beo4Life, Iconic-AV, morethanAV etc. to make such a statement or is it because of the slogan adapted from Mercedes Advertising and plastered all over Beoworld?

Beoworld was independent but admittedly since Lee started running this as a business with subscriptions etc. it is far better, congrats to Keith et al on the new forum - as Graham has noted he is not allowed to advertise on Beoworld and neither are others.

Ask yourself why Beocentral (the Jarman brothers) have removed all references to morethanAV in light of their involvement with LSAV - if they want to spill some silly excuses on this forum I am sure I can find the email where one talks about 'protecting his own interests and doing what is best for Beocentral in the future.'

My mark is that it was me who suggested to Lee the strap line for Beoworld 'For Everything Bang & Olufsen' which has been slightly adapted but so what?  Just annoys me when the impression is that some people are blinkered and potentially would distract interested partied from considering the product range and services/warranty offered by other legitimate trading concerns.

I'm happy to have my product range and warranty compared with any other Company, that is what business is about, not by restricting the general publics awareness of other resellers by restricting advertising on a supposedly independent forum.  Beoworld is not independent, simple as.  It is run for the professional advancement of LSAV, not that my business is suffering presently simply because people open their eyes and look around on the web!

I never sold the Beolink 1000 either, but if I stood by it with a 12 or 24 month warranty £68 is wholly justifiable.
