Those look like BL4500's Stotty > So are these pictures "a work in progress"? Surely you're not leaving the BeoVision 7 all loaded up like that? I like the 6000's Mine are entirely green and the colour is so dark they don't shine much!

The kit in the background of the rear view of the bv consiste a bc91300 and a pair of bl5000's - both need attention the tape drive on the bc needs rebelting(in stock, just a matter of time!), the 5000's need the display ribbons relocating and one of the amps is not working - it did, I lengthened the power cables and must not have seated a connector properly - again just a case of time - my wife now takes up a lot of time each day, retirement wasn't supposed to be like this - hey ho!

As a matter of interest, the bedroom is behind this wall ie where the 5000's will be hung, could of ml,d through and used an active box and eye but I just love the 9300 and to not use it would be such a waste . I have in excess of 300 cassettes having been a little like King Canute in the past!

The bv is sort of finished, sort of work in progress - the aim is to replace the 2 boxes under the 7-1 with a slimline satellite rx which has a diseqc system for the use on 2 satellites - here french tv is on astra 1, 19'E and sky is on astra 2, 28'E - however I may need several boxes as I use a 4 head lnb to feed 4 astra2 boxes!

If I can find a slimline box(saw one several months ago - didn't buy - what a clown!!) the STB mounting bracket will be reversed anf the combined box installed thereon thus taking away some of the clutter!

Bedroom system fairly standard, forgot to say, the central pic is a Renault Dauphine publicity piece - herself had a Gordini version - souped up - as her first car.

The circular lefthand pic is a wedding present painted by her lifelong best friend - any interest seach online Cherryl Fountaine!

The small rectangular pic righthand side is a Lowry signed print - again I was dragged up in the northwest of uk saw his paintings every day in real life however she just adored'em - with her condition all are a grasp on past life

Any other suggestions / questions welcomed

salut

It's beautiful but the soundQuality can't be good with all those hard stone floors.

The continuing saga-

the lounge -

BV7-32, BC2, Sky box, French terrestrial box, BL6000 and pc

As previously the house is open plan and masterlinking would have been difficult with tiled floors, no walls etc.

As the tv and the 7-1 are black the Panasonic Sky box was stripped to components and sprayed matt black and installed on an STB bracket, slung under the bracket is an Elap french terrestrial box by Elap - this is in black and it has usb outlet to link to harddrive for recording french tv - this works very well( however only one tuner)

The 6000's have dark green frets - I would have preferred a Green tv but not currently available!

View of rear of tv which gives an idea of cable marshalling - my problem being directly behind the setup is the dining area hence the personal need to keep it asll tidy!

Another view behind the tv showing the pc which is linked to tv by hdmi lead - it works sort of well, had hoped to work the pc with the split screen facility - currently it don't work probably because of incompatible formats - think I need to play around with pc video output!

A view to give an idea as to the location of the main BC2 box, partlly hidden by the lilly plant(same age as me, planted by a great aunt wayback when I was born!) The other lilly is son of!

Again hope this works

NB to be continued!!

I suppose there are a substantial number of hard surfaces however the house was a little quirky, and we wanted quirky, - to be honest though haven't noticed any problems with the sound.

The house is a barn of a place, see below the mezzanine is the end of the snug area

The pillar thro' the pics is the flue to the fire, and there are no end of different angles to reflect/cancel sound,

Looking at the area in front of the tv - excuse clutter on the floor, contents of another box if 'stuff'

and this view makes it all worth while - the Western Approaches.

Ok at the end point the curtains are a temporary meadure, heavier ones will be used, but that ain't going to change a lot = I am stuck with what I've got but am very happy with everything so far!!

That place looks great, stotty. The different angles will help a lot with acoustics, as there are a lot less standing waves and echoes than there would be if everything was rectangular. Spread some more "stuff" and heavy textiles around and it'll only get better 🙂

Hello everyone,

Inspired by all your beautiful pictures I'd like to share one of mine. It's a bit too dark, taken on a cold winter day here in Holland, earlier this year, so I was reluctant to post it but can't resist anymore.

This is my student home, BM3000 with BG2000 hooked up to the PC through a quality M-audio sound card for digital music, and BV8902 on a modified MX stand hooked up to good old analog cable for TV and to the computer for digital video. The two S75 speakers have now been replaced by M100-2, beautiful sound and impressive looks but I don't have the stands yet. Thinking about changing the beomaster/gram for a rosewood BC7700, to match the TV and speakers.

Here it goes!

I need to go back to school! 🤒

What can you tell us about the miniature on top of the TV (behind the candle, where the windows split)?

Jaff, you have very sharp eyesight! ❓ 😂

The miniature is a little BC2500 with BL2500 attached, made out of wood and painted by a good friend of mine. He's a student too, and bought a beocenter 2500 as his first piece of B&O about two years ago.

Nothing has been the same ever since, as the beocenter turned out to be contaminated with some kind of virus well known to most people on this forum. Collecting B&O became our greatest hobby, he's into the more modern stuff (like BL8000's etc.) and I like the 70's/80's designs.

A B&O slogan is: some things you only live with, others become part of your life. This is certainly true for me and him: we both love Bang & Olufsen for its design, and it fills our rooms and lives with beautiful, warm sounding music (and film). The great looks of the B&O systems show our love for music, and look very classy in our student rooms. We  enjoy it every day and it has to us become a symbol for how great life can be.

The miniature beocenter kind of symbolizes this, and our friendship. 🙂

I love seeing in this thread how much everyone enjoys their B&O systems!
