...And a photo of our bookcase on the other side of the room; this isn't 'posed' as such - I've just kept some 'easily scratched' stuff out of storage whilst I live here temporarily, and this is the result - Beocentre 9500, BS Moment, Beosound 2 mp3-player, BeO4 remote, Beoplay H8, BL4000's, BL19 (There's a boxed Beoremote 1 below the bottom shelf too!).
My better-half may be right when she says I've taken this B&O thing too far...
Handsome indeed. Looks amazing for 30!

Hi Beold,
Thats a good question...
I have about 1000 LPs in storage, mostly unplayed since the mid-noughties; I only got hold of the BS5500 a few weeks ago, so it's yet to be used for it's intended purpose. I'm emigrating soon, so once I get settled I'll have to work out how to spin my vinyl then!
Thanks Simonbeo,
I always thought BL4000s were the most 'saintly' of speakers...

Nice to see that you did manage to find a spot for it. And also nice to see that you still can use it. Love old meets new Beo.

Beo in white is my thing

Cheers for the technical options.
Anyone else using Apple TV4 with BV6?
Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.
Duels:Erick. Nice pictures. Love the White BL5s with matching BL18s. The avant looks very imposing on its stand.
BeoNut since '75
ErikVonAgnar:Did some changes at home. Moved my 55" Avant down from the wall to a floor stand. All stuff is stored in or on the new sideboard cabinet. The Avant looks more powerful on the floor stand and it also looks bigger. //EA Currently own: BeoVision Avant 55", BeoLab 5, BeoLab 12-2, BeoRemoteOne, BeoPlay V1-32", BeoRemote4, BeoSound 3200, BeoGram 6500 (MMC-2), BeoLit 15, BeoPlay Form 2i, LC2 and BeoLab 3

@ guy - the BC/BV6 still looks great and its nice to see you can integrate the Apple TV in to it too. Can you use the "TV" function of the App in Apple TV?
@ EvA, your setup looks beautiful. Do you find more flexibility with the Avant on the floor stand?
Aussie Michael: @ guy - the BC/BV6 still looks great and its nice to see you can integrate the Apple TV in to it too. Can you use the "TV" function of the App in Apple TV?
Thanks. Not sure what you mean by the 'TV' function - I can't control the TV volume/power with the apple remote, if that's what you mean. I use this setup mainly with BBC iPlayer together with a VPN-like service to allow access from here in Bucharest. Also use the Danish DRTV player app, and have installed the VLC media player app to access files from my QNAP NAS. I also use if for mirroring from iPhone/Pad services such as filmon.com and Channel 4OD - both of which are good for UK content.
The main limitation of the BV6 is that I cannot use the apps that generate a video output with hdcp (eg Netflix and Nowtv), as these are rejected by the telly (even when using mirroring from iPad). I am using the hdmi output of the ATV4 into the DVI ('PC' socket) of the TV, and use an hdmi audio extractor to take the audio to the phono input socket on the TV.
Aussie Michael: @ EvA, your setup looks beautiful. Do you find more flexibility with the Avant on the floor stand?
Yes, much more. No matter were I sit, I can point the Tv at me.
And the Tv seems much bigger. People have asked me if I have got the 75". But the best thing is when all settings is on "cinema-mode" and you turn the stand so the tv comes closer to you.

That would give watching porno films a true salacious feeling of illicit voyeurism wouldn't it?
I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.

Jeff:That would give watching porno films a true salacious feeling of illicit voyeurism wouldn't it? Jeff Beovirus victim, it's gotten to be too much to list!
Aussie Michael:A bit like the movie Sliver
leosgonewild:Not cool, MM.
Calm down, Leo - that is what I tell him each time, that I am there ;-)

That is what vr glasses are for ;-o)

Well, we all need a hobby. The setting is amazing and no doubt good for MANY things.

Many thanks for your interest.
Chromecast Audio in action.
Why not just use a 1611 converter (masterlink connected) for connecting the audio dongle?
