My BeoSystem 6500 with an AV7000 thrown in for fun. After a full refurb, this will replace my BeoSystem 5000 that is slowly deteriorating.

Well the time has come.

After moving house and my beloved BV7-55 dominated the bay window a change was needed, I was in a panic that loosing the 7-4 ATL lens I would feel like something was missing but its all OK

A ten hour drive and I have a amazing Avant 55 MK1 just 10 months old sat where good old trusty was, the MK1 still has all of the magic I love and gives me much more. No more need for Offline software and PUC updates and a picture that is amazing.

My new Beomic BM5.

I don't yet know if it works (I am not really counting on both ribbons being Ok, but one never knows) but what a lovely piece of design this is! Especially standing on its desktop 3-leg stand.

The top part is currently loose (it's rotatable and the plastic ring inside the aluminum case is broken), I might attempt a 3D-printed spare to keep it together...

one of the best remotes :) - but the plastic quality of the keypad is inferior.

 

 

for the engraving and laser fans ;)

 

 

 

and the old B&O still has the style to live in harmony with others:

Hey did you get that idea from me by chance? If your's is a MKII, mine (LG OLED) must be a prototype MK0,5 Embarrassed

Also you can get a clamper system from STB that’s what i use to mount my PS4 etc on the back of the Avant

It clamps on to the pole and its hidden away

Great solution

Looks great! I think Avant and BL 9 looks good together. Smile

But as an old Avant user I know the cables can be hard to hide with the floor stand. Beo could have made it better.

Love this new retro stuff! Have you experienced it yourself Peter Pan?

I have been thinking of this "new tech in old case" and to do a Beovox RL140/RL60 an active speaker. 
Maybe if I wait long enough someone will do it before me.  Smile

Wires hidden

Some simple plastic stuff from screwfix

It’s not as nice looking but will do for now.

I need some of the rubber cable sleeve that Bang and Olufsen use when I next go to a store unless I can find it online. Think I will use fabric sleeve for up the back pole.

vs the original

I obviously like their approach to it but why did they go for the chunky version? must be because of the speakers?

Ouch, and there I was exhorting you to move your TV out from in front of it!  Sigh. (-:)  Nice how you pushed the stand back, hard up against the wall and adjusted the spin (vs. the first photo).  Stateside B&O stores use the "fabric" (actually it feels like woven polyurethane) cable wrap for installations.  If you find some good rubber(-ish) wrap you like, please post your choice.  (BTW, that track under the window ended up looking not-so-bad.)

I suggest a wooden cover in the same style as the fireplace.

Search for "radiator cover design" to start with.

But of course it is a matter of taste.

Ohhhh the controversy :)

The trunking under the sill looks OK so not to concerned.

The radiator I had not even thought about, the living room needs to be decorated so not Sure what we are doing until summer next year really. We cannot even decide on colour at the moment.

Ps sofa is there but it looks like toy furniture in this house.

If you want something slightly more discreet under the cills, D-Line 22mmx22mm quadrant / quarter round trunking works very well under cills and in corners (I think screwfix sell it now). I've also painted it successfully in the past to match wall colours (just give it a light sanding first to remove the 'glossiness').

We have some of these http://www.faral.com/en/products/alliance/

much more in keeping with the feel of B&O than a standard pressed steel radiator in my opinion.

If you're seriously asking, a "Runtal" brand flat-bar radiator is about as simple as you can get.  They (Zehnder owns them, now) recently bought a UK manufacturer, look for "Bisque" in the UK: www.bisque.co.uk.  Their "Altiplano" model in etched copper or brass is a showpiece, but the line has a flat brushed aluminum plate, for your B&O fetish.  (They make ordinary radiators too, but custom enameled; one of their minimal interior photos shows it with a B&O A9 and a Vitra/Eames "La Chaise".)  They are a bit aggressively visible for my taste; I prefer the Runtal "Cosmopolitan" or original "VLX", which is deep so you get plenty of heat but hides it with the flat bars: www.runtal.com.  Also in the UK is a "decorator" radiator sales/showroom: https://www.theradiatorcentre.com/designer

I will say that most of my records are second hand and heavily used, so I may not be the best to judge right now, but it does seem to be the best sounding LP that I own!
