I am in the middle of adding a pristine BC2300 to my system and am blessed with the need to integrate and hide a BL converter (1611) and was just curious... Where do other members hide theirs? (You know, besides the obvious mounted behind a BV or the like)
Beo4 'til I die!
Very location specific however I hide at least three converters behind books in a hallway shelf that is connected to five other link rooms rooms. It also collects rarely used books, vinyl and kids games.
I hide my converts away on shelves in the brushed aluminum BeoSystem 1 cabinets. However, I recently obtained some wall mounts for the converters and think a converter might look nice wall-mounted in the right situation. I wonder how a wall-mounted converter might look just underneath your BS2300.
A wall-mounted converter might look nice with an Essence wall remote to one side of it and with some space between them and the BS2300. Lots of beautiful brushed aluminum.

Good idea Michael. If I add a shelf to hold CDs next to my BC, maybe I could put it there.
A hollowed-out book would also be quite cool!

This was my first idea. I am going to add a cabinet (eventually) for the router, ATV, PS4 etc and thought about putting it there. Would need to get a monumental amount of cabling to make it work though.
However, mounting it underneath the 2300 might work if I made some covers for the ends to hide the cable junctions! hmmmm...

It looks like with your type of wall that running cables through the wall might not be possible? If this is the case, a suggestion might be to create somewhat of a long yet thin "box" creating a protrusion of a large area of the wall such that the BeoSound could mount to it and run the cables through the "new" box wall so that all cable are hidden. You could paint the new "box wall" an interesting color to make it stand out -- or not. I'm thinking of the wooden box "wall" of the original Avant as an inspiration. I just think those narrow on-wall wire channels look so tacky.
