Yeah BL active would be great by the sounds of it, BV1 is a good bedroom counter part, the speakers perform well, but not as good as a BS1

BV1, is definitely a thumbs up by me. I own 2 black ones and i must say that comparing with my old MX, they are beautiful to look at and a talking point even they are not switch ON. They are one of the last and best small CRTs from B&O from my point of view. One of my set came with the ionic Beo1 remote which i find not as friendly as the Beo4 but then again, who cares, Beo 1 is a showpiece on the coffee-table, i use the Beo4 instead. Cheers

oh, what to do, what to do, what to do!🤔

i really like the idea of the bv1 in the kitchen! i guess (one thing i haven't mentioned) my other concerns are regarding shipping... i am scared to death to send a tube across the atlantic. of course dave's bc1 made it a further distance! i am really torn. i would love to give lee the business, and he has a sale on right now to boot!

Do it! :) You won't regret it, he has one with the tall stand too. Shipping is insured, my TV arrived in tip top condition - sent in original crate
