What a deal! The AV9000 is on my list. (Like everything else...)

As far as my most recent purchase, I bought a set of white A8s in December!

PL cables, a masterlink distribution box and a couple ML cables.

Shall I? BM900 3x, BL3500 2x, BM5000 2x, BG4500 3x, MMC1's 2x, Beolit 707 2x, AV7000, HDR2 3x etc. etc. (last 3 weeks) and my actual latest are a pair of vintage GRUNDIG ball loudspeakers in white with a bassbox. Will post a picture later, they really are adorable.....

Evan, 3 for sale incl. the masterpanel link in Holland for 600 euro.

All together 600kg🤔

Edit, sorry 300kg

Have been lots of new items added to my collection during the last couple of weeks :-)

It started with a BeoLab 2 sub to get a little more feeling to the sound experience of my existing setup. One week later by coinicident I where on a business meeting. In the corner of the meeting room stood  a BV4-50, so I asked why such a lovely TV just stod on the floor not used. One of the guys in the meeting said that he owned it and that he recently moved and the TV just did not fitted into his new apartment. He asked me if I wanted to buy it. He offered me a really nice price so I did not needed to think for so long :-) When I came back I noticed that also a HDR1 and a BeoMedia 1 and a cabinet for the BS2 was included. When I noticed that I understood that it was a really good deal :-) 

So I needed to go to my B&O dealer to buy some PL cables, ML cables and also a BeoLink Aktive to get my new setup complete.

My next purchase I guess will be a BeoTime.

An Earset 3i on Monday. First B&O purchase in five years!

I've not bought anything for a couple of years (after going mad purchasing BL5s, 2 x BL9s, BL3s, BS4, BC2 and BS5/master! Plus upgrading the BV7-40 MKIII to a MKV) but recently bought the Beocom 5 (x2) and Earset 3i.

The Beocom 5 purchase, after software upgrade, brought back my love for the brand. Was really regretting the purchase inititally, but they've proved their worth. Quality is superb. You can easily have a call through the speakerphone and people think you're holding the handset. I can always tell when someone is on a speaker, but not with these phones. No-one can tell the difference, unless I start moving around the room.

Earset 3i's are ok. I prefer the finish of my old A8s (the 3is feel like they have a cheaper finish), but the quality is good!

I love my 3i so far. The sound is great and the finish is as good as my old Earset 3 but I know what you mean about the rubber being more shiny and cheaper looking than the original A8s. The aluminium parts seems as good as they ever were.

Still, I'm very happy with them.

As I indicated in another thread I've been looking at the BS5 Encore. I just don't really buy or use CDs any more. But I need tighter integration with iTunes.

I don't have a landline anymore. I couldn't see the point so my Beocom 6000 sits on the shelf in the hall unused but sculptural. I haven't had the heart to unplug it and put it in a box.

The phone number as a concept is continually being eroded. The idea of ringing a building in the hope that the person you want to speak to is inside is, when you stop to think about it, rather bizarre.

I do wish mobile networks would hurry up and roll out higher call quality, though. When I call my iPhone-owning friends on Viber the call quality is outstanding - better than any landline I've ever used. Have you tried Viber moxxey?

Same here. But I think I'm going to settle on a Beosound 8 instead, for a couple of reasons. I simply do not need the expense of an Encore and yet another set of speakers (over £4000) and I have an old iPad which I can almost perma-connect to the BS8. The only downside is that I didn't realise you can't stream audio to an iPad using Air***y, so the audio must be stored on the iPad :( The snag is, all my audio is centrally located on my Mini server and I don't bother syncing everything to the iPad.

There are ways around this using third-party apps though such as the Airfoil Speakers.

No, but I'm going to get one of our editor's to look at it and write up a review for our "downloads" site! Appears to be popular: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.viber.voip
