Welcome Michael! 

Don't worry you'll get the B&O bug and you'll never regret it!

Luke.

Hey mate, welcome, im a newish memeber, used to live around the corner from you in Vermont but recently moved to Geelong....

Welcome :)

Andrew

Thanks. :-)

the phones are great

and once you have one with its AV volume control ........ you just HAVE to have the audio-visual system to complement it :-)

good to see the recent "burst" of aussies in the scene.

i too have recently reacted to the B&O bug.  picked up 2 beocom 6000s and waiting on the beocom 1401 on order 🙂

saving up for a beosound 1 before saving up even more for the bigger things.

checked out the new beovision 7-40 (100hz)with blu ray on Friday - superb!

both the city store and the David Jones stores have/are undergoing renovations. drop by to check out the new toys and scratch the itch 😕

Thanks for the replies guys :-)

Why did you go for the beocom 1401 over one of the other phones?  I'd also love a beosound 1, as I love its design and function, the only issue I have is playing ripped CD's from itunes and the issue with digital audio.  I would have got one for my dad, but he is AM, so...

Can't wait to see the BeoVision 7 with blu ray, but would it be any better than say a pioneer?  who knows, it's all personal i guess :-)

Being i work in the city, i'll have to drop in to either store. 

Thanks again

MH

having my main phone point sandwiched between the microwave and the wireless router, i wanted a corded phone and the beocom 1401 was well priced and gave me an excuse to increase the count of B&O toys :)

i am contemplating getting the DIN to 3.5mm cable ($20) to connect my ipod/iphone. but ripped CDs would be a problem from what i gather.

the kuro's are impressive no doubt.  but with a built in blu-ray player, i think you'd be hard pressed to find any mainstream brand to offer quality, design and the convenience of the 7-40 🙂

Sure, it is if you only want to watch Blu-ray and/or HD! SD is poor and the 'internal' DVD player performs as an external played, needs to be controlled via yellow+button and uses one of the external HDMI sockets.

It's amazing how dealers convince customers that the picture is 'superb' by showing only HD or Blu-ray. For everyday TV, it's fairly poor-average.

It's only a tiny bit better than the MKIII for Blu-ray/HD. That's the only advantage over the MKIII. Lots of disadvantages.
