What a small world
I opened a bottle of rosé from Bordeaux yesterday for the first time !
(And I still prefer rosés from the hillsides of Aix en Provence...)
Just finished setting up my movie room/music studio, classic 80's synth with Beolab 3000 monitor speaker (forming the rear channel speakers when used for movies):-
At the front of the room sits the tenor sax and electric piano storage by the 75" retractable screen, with Penta III's for the front audio channels:-

Chris Townsend:Still moving in
Geez, I can't get over how stunning the Beovision 5 is. Seriously, it has to be the best looking TV that has ever been made. So pure, elegant, and well proportioned. Also, Homer Simpson approves as well :-)
Chris Townsend:That's part of my problem Sal. I still haven't unboxed by 7-55 or Lab 5s. Here is a fantastic sound, great looking frame and picture that just fits away perfectly. Just like its forefather the Avant RF. If they made a modern one, I'd buy two.

If you're a true minimalist and want to embrace a minimalist setup, this is a good way to go. I'd probably be better off if I could do that, but I still keep coming back to wanting bigger speakers and wanting to see my BS9000, even if it's only used to stream to via a Playmaker. But there's a lot to be said for that kind of TV/audio approach for being very stylish and minimal. Looks gorgeous, always have loved that kind of lamp too.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
Peter Pan:
What an incredible view Peter! I would be so happy and content waking up every day looking out onto that marvellous countryside. Quite wonderful!
B&O products are V1-32, BS2, H95, E8 and an Essence remote.11-46 now replaced with Sony A90J 65”, Sony HT-A9, Sony UBP-X800M2 and Sony SRS-NS7.
Gezz - a simple holiday picture - with a photoshopped BS1.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Nice combo. I've got 2 spare BV6-22 but not sure what to do with them as input is scart only..
Looks great! Here's my vintage music gear...
BeoLab 5, BeoVision 7-55 MK2, BeoSound 5 Encore, BeoSound 9000, BeoLab Penta III, BeoLab 8000, BeoLab 6000, BeoLab 2, BeoLab 7-6, BeoSound 8, BeoTime (analog clock), Beo 4 remote.
I love this new "B&O & Synths" trend! Here's my contribution, I call it "Rosewood Master and blue Wave". :)
simple and sleek chris like it a lot, are you going to get round to unboxing your 7-55 eventually or are you going to leave your setup as it is??

"You think we can slap some oak on this thing?"
This looks great - what a good idea!
Was it hard to mount the screen and speaker to the stand? I assume it doesn't provide any motorised functionality.
It's an Eclipse Mk2 Leo :-)
jkhamler: I assume it doesn't provide any motorised functionality.

That would be a great project - surely possible with Lintronic box and some sort of interface! Anyone tried?
I'm asking myself the same question for 6 month:When you see the low prices of old CRT beovisions with motorized stand, how difficult (easy) would it be to scrap the TV part and just keep the motor control part (and speaker part for some of them!) to "Bang an S***** TV" (I know, it's kind af an obsession… )
Aussie Michael: It's an Eclipse Mk2 Leo :-)
Maybe for those, who missed the point of the BV Eclipse concept.
For others it is just a flat-tv with an actice 2.0 speaker connected.
Now we're finally in tour new home, the the time finally came when I could unwrap and re-assemble the vintage B&O...
This will now be the main kit - a BM5000 amp/tuner w/MCP5000, Beogram 3300 w/MMC4, CD3300, and Beocord 3300 all connected up to a pair of Beovox 1600's and Mk1 5000's - which still have the original legs and gold badges.
The original BM3300 Amp/Tuner will shortly be wall-mounted and connected to a pair of X25's I'm currently installing in the kitchen.
Oh, and then there's the view from the patio :-
Can't believe it's October!
Ben Smith: Can't believe it's October!
And I can't believe that patio's in Bedford!
I figured I would get in on this thread... here are a few shots from around my house...
Beosound 9000 MK III, Beosound Century, Beogram 5005, Beolab 8000, Beolab 5000, Beolab 4000, Beolab 5, Beovision 8, Beovision 10, Beovision 5, Beoplay A2, Beoplay E8, Beoplay H6.

We're now in Wales - profile updated lol!

Ah, that makes sense! Did I see you on 'Escape to the Country'?
We have a house in North Buckinghamshire, but probably moving back to UK later this year and looking to move in a similar direction!

Kind of a good place - semi-retirement.
leogoeswild:I was waiting for your comment how this is not B&O. How is the Eclipse anything else than a LG with a B&O sound bar?

1: it is B&O so far that the speaker is a BL.

Is an S3 overkill for the 2nd bathroom??
Tucker: Is an S3 overkill for the 2nd bathroom??
That depends on....hmmmm!
