Compatibility across systems/manufacturers
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 24, 2012 18:15Interesting. Today I heard back from the seller, expressing hurt that I'd misjudged him. He says he's taken the Beocenter to B&O Eastbourne, and is having it repaired at his own cost. He is moving abroad, and his parents…

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 24, 2012 02:45Yes, I think so too. I replied that I was happy to take it even damaged, and he has simply not responded to my message. Today he moves house, and said that it "needed to be gone by today", so I guess that's it. I opened …

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 22, 2012 16:13The seller has contacted me claiming he dropped the Beocenter, and now it doesn't work, so sadly he can't complete the sale. Given the price, I suspect shenanigans, so I told him it's worth my while just for the speakers…

in The Workbench · Feb 22, 2012 12:44Vintage B&O appeals to me for a variety of reasons; I like good design, I like great sound, and I like to see things used beyond their lifespan. Another appeal for me, though, is that I would like to be able to repair ol…
Beovision Avant - can it be removed from the stand?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 22, 2012 02:59The BV3 does look ace, but I'll have to measure the cabinet to see if it will fit, and once again, it's on a stand. Can that be removed? I nearly bid on an MX6000, but I'm glad I asked about the Avant; I feared that the …
Beovision Avant - can it be removed from the stand?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 21, 2012 18:16A Beovision Avant is for sale near me for a bargain price (the 28" version with VHS). I currently have a CRT with cable, so this would replace it nicely, giving me much better sound, probably better picture quality, and …

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 20, 2012 17:35Slight downer is that I'll work a 9 hour day Thurs, then drive for 2 hours, wish my son a happy 4th birthday and tuck him into bed, and then drive again to Brighton, because the guy can't wait a few days for me to pick u…

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 19, 2012 17:07Yes, it's the 70's one, and somehow, I won it for £5.19! Given that it's apparently in full working order, that's a bit of a steal, and I suspect that even if it's not as good as described, I can't go wrong for that pric…
Compatibility across systems/manufacturers
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 19, 2012 11:04I stumbled into being interested in B&O because I need to build a new hi-fi. My marriage broke up, and my wife took the separates with her, leaving me with a little Aiwa midi system that really doesn't add up. I'm not a …
