I know I am preaching to the converted, but I wanted to share this with you anyway.  My father originally got me interested in Bang and Olufsen 25 years ago when he bought a Beocenter 7000 - it has been used almost every day since until late last year when it developed a fault with the LCD screen.  We have an excellent local B&O independent engineer who can repair most things, but couldn't get the parts to repair it.  I started to look on ebay for a similar unit and considered upgrading to a Beosystem 7000 or Beocenter 9500, but my father really liked the older unit and he already has a B&O CD player connected to it.

 Anyway, on the off-chance, I called Lee at Lifestyle AV - I've bought many things from him over the years (28" Avant, Beosound 3000, Beolab 8000 etc) all of which have been great, and in perfect condition.  Lee rooted around his store, and found an ex-demonstration Beocenter 7000 in original box and packaging and in perfect working order.  It arrived today and at last my mum and dad can tune into Terry Wogan in the morning!  The unit is 25 years old but absolutely perfect, a real time warp item - both my dad amd I are thrilled.

.....unfortunately my dad has been battling an illness for a while - to say the arrival of this unit lifted his spirits is a great understatement - I am so pleased and cannot thank Lee enough.

 Whenever I've dealt with Lee he can't do enough to help; he dosen't try to sell you something just because he has it in stock; he knows his products inside out.  It seems like a simple philosophy to run a business, so why is it so rare?  I certainly won't be buying any future B&O items from anywhere else.  Thanks Lee, you're a legend!
