Lintronic? Enlighten me.
I've just decided not to go with the Delphonica, would be a shame to couple a B&O system to such a thing. It will be the AS1 I reckon.

Attenention, please!
The AS1 doesn't seem to have auto on/off. You need to switch it on or off manually. And no way to manipulate the take over frequency (may the switch music/movie does something similar).

Good point, I don't really want to turn it on or off every time. Can you suggest a sub that would suit what I need, running from the PowerLink 2 from the BL6000. How do you have your non-B&O sub connected and what are you using?
I got a Magnat Motion SUB200A - ugly, so I had to hide it.... but only 100€ on ebay. Has all the controls. I used a 5-pin DIN to RCA (female) then a long cinch cable from this adapter to the sub, but you can use similar ones also (

Before having a BL2, I was thinking about Velodyne. They do make incredible products like their SPL-R Series small subwoofers. In fact it's a nice combination of beauty, brains and brawn. Those nice little things will ramble your entire living room with their 1000-watt RMS amps.
In onother way, I will recommand the B&W PV1 if you deserve something that's close to B&O for a "fraction" of the BL2's retail price.
Cheers,

Lintronic is a little box that is programmed by a computer to convert signals from the Beo 4 to whatever the signal your non b&o remotes sent, thus you can work your non B&O with the one remote, the beo 4 or if you end up getting one, a beo 5!
Oh sorry i meant the AS2, woops, the AS2 is pretty darn good, but i'd hide it away. It has plenty of power going to it's 10" mica cone and has the same adjustability and features as the PV1. 🙂
yes, a second recommendation of the PV1, though it seems I need something with an auto on/off, not sure if it has it, will check it our online. A local hi-fi shop stocks them too.
Anyway, thanks for all the responses, it's helped clear up a few things and stopped me from making an uninformed and wasteful purchase.
To the drawing board...

Hey David, thanks for the Lintronic tip-off, I found em online and will order the receiver tomorrow. Solves all my remote nightmares in one easy package. Like the look of the new Beo5, might indulge when it comes out.
Seems the AS2 might be the one.
eric
Yeah the PV1 has all the same feature, including auto sense on/off, but it is fairly pricey ($2,200). Personally, i am saving up for one to compliment our BL4000's. Also planning on getting a lintronic, but just spent all our cash on a Beogram 🙁 🙂
