FM (Fery Modern)

Fairly Modern...

That Nest thermostat is really nice. Just visited their website. I want one!

I bought a Beocenter 2500 last week from eBay for our exercise room.  The table is temporary.  I think a small cabinet would be better so the cords would be hidden, plus storage for our towels and water.

I also couldn't resist getting a Beosound 2000 / Century from eBay for $250 Buy-it-Now, including a Beo4.  It has some rips in the speaker fabric, the LCD on the remote was broken, and the antenna is missing the tip, but those things can be fixed.  I already ordered a replacement screen and will recover the speakers. 

The sound is ok, but after the glowing reviews I read on this forum, I was not too impressed.  Maybe mine is broken.  

For a compact system, I prefer just using our Philips Fidelio SoundAvia AD7000W or the Philips SoundRing.  You can get a factory refurbished SoundAvia on Overstock.com for $125 and to me it sounds about the same as the Century, if not slightly more pleasant.  They both lack much bass.  I have all our music on an iTunes server and play it through the iPhone remote app.  With the Philips airplay speaker, I don't need to add an Airport Express, AUX cable, and have to make sure the speaker is turned on and selected AUX.

Still, I love the design and never thought I would ever own one.  Not sure where I will put it yet.  This was an expensive week.

While not a B&O, I'd like to share a photo of my 20th Anniversary Mac.  I'm sure Johnathn Ives drew some inspiration from B&O for the vertical CD.  This was my primary computer in college for two years in 1998-2000.  I actually bought two and flipped one of them for enough profit on eBay to pay for the one I kept.  The funny thing is that I sold it to a Microsoft exec.  The 12" screen is absurdly small by today's standards, but at the time felt very futuristic, like I was using a computer out of star trek.

Some pictures of my brand new set-up :-) Hope you guys like it.

Hi, those were actually Frederik's photos (I just edited the links to make the active), but I do have a BeoLab 11 and would happily photograph it for you ... what is it you wanted to see ?

Here is an old shot of mine ... since moved from the BV8 to the BS4 ...

Thanks,

To know the setting.

I hope this helps ... the BIG picture overview, and a detailed shot to follow :-)
