Hi everybody!
Recently I have retired my BV3/32 from my setup.Purchased Samsung UEH55 HU 7500.The rest of the setup in signature.Now,I connected Samsung TV to Beosound Ouverture,as I was suggested,from tv headphone output into Ouverture Aux in .Not happy with the quality of the sound.
Sound quality is imperative to me.In order to improve,there are few things on my mind:
1) To purchase(second hand) Beosytem 3 - cca 2500 gbp
2) To purchase good quality,new,preamplifier Audiolab 8200 ap - cca 1200 gbp
3) To purchase AVR with preouts (ie. Marantz sr 5009) - cca 400 gbp
Now,old audiophiles,based to yours experience,what will be the best solution,soundwise.Any suggestion is most welcome!
Beogram 6500 MMC2,Beosound Ouverture,2xBeolab 8000,2xBelolab 4000,Beolab 2,Beolab 7.2,Beo4 navi, 2xBeocom2,Serene,Beosystem 3 mk3,H6 2nd gen,Earphones E8,A8,A9 keyring,Beoplay A1,Bottle opener,Beoplay A2 active(thanks Botty)Wine Set(thanks Botty),4Ktv Samsung 55'',Beolab 7.1 with 42''Panasonic plasma,,Oppo udp-203, LinTronic.
I vote for the beosystem. Not only will you get the benefit of the powerlink cables, such as powering the speakers on/off, sending volume data of source to speakers etc. but you will be connecting them as they were intended and designed, and thus I believe getting the best sound.
I have an Onkyo PRSc5509 AVR with speakers (BL5 + BL3) connected pre-outs and the sound quality is good, but not best. When I compared it to power link cables to a B&O source, there was quite a noticeable improvement in sound.
Thus i am doing away with the AVR and going power link now to B&O source, in my case the Avant TV. But you could get beosystem 3 or 4. Just bear in mind they do not support 4K, but we have been discussing this in one of the other threads in this section recently. Check my recent posts.
