But it could also indicate how bad the movie theater environment has become! I just went to the movies a week ago and was reminded how inconsiderate many people are! I'm not trying to downplay B&O equipment in any way, but B&O quality equipment *and* your homes quiet environment certainly beats the movies (at the prices they charge!)

It's a wonderful experience - we are going to see Absolutely Fabulous there in July. Whilst at the University of Manchester, we used to go to the most beautiful foreign film cinema on Oxford Road. It had an architecture book store along with bar etc - I think that it was called Bar Books Architecture and Film. :)

... when you use a non B&O similar product.
After using common phones for years, the first time I used my Beocom 1600, I said WOW: the sound is so good (even in handsfree mode)!
The first time I listen back to my Samsung speaker, I said WOW: what the hell is that frequencies porridge?!?
... When you buy something new and can control it with the same remote you have been using for the past 20 years or thereabouts
"You think we can slap some oak on this thing?"
I was just thinking this the other day. With my BeoLab 5s and projector, I enjoy watching movies much more at my house than going to the theater. Well done, B&O.
Aussie Michael:... When you pat it and realise what you're doing
When you wave your hand in front of it and the magic doors open just as they did eighteen years ago when you bought it!
Duels:Yup. Occasionally find myself running my hands down the wooden front of my BL18s.
