in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 27, 2018 17:54I'm in Canada and homepod is not available here yet. A friend imported one. My first reaction was shock at how small it is. Was expecting something larger. Despite all of Apple's mumbo-jumbo about magical technology, thi…
I got lucky with my newly-acquired BM6000 4 ch., except........
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 2, 2018 20:14Hi Jack. Lucky you, I have always wanted a BM6000. The 6000 quad does not have capacitive switches like later products - you're bending those metal tabs and moving a switch underneath. Same as the beograms. Maybe what's …
Beolab 6000 and NAD 7155 noise
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 20, 2017 18:46as luck would have it I have beolabs connected to an NAD7240 which is of similar vintage. It should work fine with good quality RCA cables between the pre-out of the amp and the beolabs. You don't need the powerlink betw…

Avant 85"
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 15, 2014 03:40The thing sticking out of the back is someone's car key (audi?) that had a USB thumb drive attached and plugged into the set. The man from B&O that I spoke to said the stand is thicker and heavier for the 85" model.
