Hi
I am thinking of changing my current link set up which consists of: - Main Lounge BOSE Lifestyle 48 PS3/Blu Ray link 2ND GEN SKY+HD/3D Philips 58" 21:9 3D TV Zone 2 - Linked via Bose multi room 42" link Sky+ HD 2no BOSE SA3 Amps used in tandem 4 x191 ceiling speakers (2 on each amp) 1 x BOSE Remote Zone 3 -Not linked Beolab 1 46" link Apple TV 1st Gen - This is the main source for the beolab 1 tv runs via internal speakers. I currently use my ATV's with the iPhone & iPad remote to play music, photos and videos I'm my lounge and Zone 3. The main link system in my lounge controls all my inputs and I can use the bose remote to operate everything other than ATV. It is very intuitive and easy to use with a good GUI. I am considering moving over from Bose in my main room to Bang and Olufsen. I do not want to change my TV as it is virtually new and I wouldn't want to go back to 16:9 now I have 21"9. So, my ideal set up would be: - Lounge AV receiver with 3D throughput to control everything via 1 remote and multi room with good GUI and pre outs for B&O Speakers. As the amplification will be done by speakers I don't think I need a powerhouse amp for this, is this the case? Speakers front & sub - Beolab 5 rear - Beolab 3 centre - Beolab 7-6 The great thing with Bose is that everything is quite small and indiscreet. However, I have heard the b&o and they are absolutely amazing. Although they are more intrusive than the Bose IMHO they look good and sound much better. In an ideal world I want something that looks sleek, is really easy to use (on/off), intuitive and sounds superb. I would like a simple remote in each room or maybe iPhone app to control?? I would like to keep my BOSE 191 as they are all cut into the ceiling. The SA3 BOSE amps that power the 191's have RCA aux inputs, however I think the signal would need to be split as each amp has it's own L&R input and I would be using them in tandem to power 4 speakers. A tall order! Any suggestions would be welcome Thanks Steve |
