so I'm well aware of that my last set up looked much nicer (all Beo), but the thread is called "Flash your..." so here comes my current:
not all Beo I know, but there wasn't enough space or depth for a CRT in this apartment... but it still sounds nice. The right channel is not visible and reason for the TV stand thing is that there is a sliding door going in to the wall behind it, thus not allowing for anything to be screwed on to it.
The DVD in front of the speaker has a Beo connection, if you as me search for " Bang* " on auction sites and second hand sites to find your gear, this is the thing that represents most of the non Beo hits. Big Bang theory that is
These are the pictures that Locutus is trying to post. You got to use the direct links for linking in forums such as Beoworld not the html ones.
By using the links provided I could see the direct links in photobucket so I have inserted your pictures for you. It looks good!
Mark:nice ceiling light Michael.
Thanks Mark!

synth: Nice touch with the routed out skirting boards......very clean.....nice!
Nice touch with the routed out skirting boards......very clean.....nice!
Thanks synth! I´ll try to continue with ideas like that.
Yes clean design is just the best. The best technology is hidden, IMHO.
I spent a lot of time recently wiring my parents house for Cat 5E ethernet and installed a gigabit switch and ran all the cables through the walls and up into the ceiling. We are only just receiving Cat 6A cabling in Australia.I was fortunate that the house had wood frames and drywall/gyprock walls so its easy to run cables. In european countries the hollow skirting board for any AV cabling is a great idea - you dont have to punch holes in walls.
As an aside, I understood that the new networking cable for B&O is Cat 7, and Cat 7 is quite heavy, bulky shielded cables, but handles 10GB networking ( which is fibre speeds ). Odd that B&O doesnt just use a single optic fibre instead of copper....oh well....The best thing about fibre is that its immune to electrical interference/elektrosmog.
Enjoying the winter olympics....love the super G...
Thank you very much Friedmett. See what happens when you try to do it from your mobile without your reading glasses? I may replace the old Pioneer receiver with a Beomaster 1900 or 2000 one day. I've got my eye on a few.
I got my new gear. CD ripping device.

Greasy fingers on the equipment.
I sold my beloved BL 8000. Welcome BL 12-3.
Changed my main setup a bit. Now consisting of a BM8000, BS6500 and BeoVox MS150.2.
The AV9000 and BL6000 aren't connected. I still have to decide if I'm going to keep it, as I don't really watch TV anymore, and I have two AV9000s already.
BeoLink 7000 stands right next to the door on its floorstand, ready to control almost everything in the room.
I like the text on the poster "Dreams by Bang & Olufsen". Fits very well over my bed.
The logo on one of the BL4500s.
The main setup. I'm on the hunt for a different furniture for the equipment to stand on as I don't like having the BM8000 on the floor. I've considered buying an Attyca 2 again, but I would maybe like to have something with a bit more storage space.
/Dennis
Dennis do you use a professional home designer or do you do it yourself
No seriously I¨m impressed, what a collection
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
Dennis,
Your space is exceptional! Bravo. great collection as well.
Dennis: The AV9000 and BL6000 aren't connected. I still have to decide if I'm going to keep it, as I don't really watch TV anymore, and I have two AV9000s already.
The AV9000 is one of my B&O dreams. If I was over there in DK or close by I would help you out with your dilemma.
Beo4 'til I die!
Great set up Denis !
There must be space for more.........
alenvprekrsku:I sold my beloved BL 8000. Welcome BL 12-3.
I think they are great speakers and i must get a pair. How are you finding them ?
Thanks for the kinds comments, I appreciate it.
What you see on the pictures is only about 1/5 of my collection. I could display more of it, but then it would start to look a bit too squeezed IMO.
Too bad the AV9000 was never launched in the USA. Maybe we should try to arrange shipment of a container with bunch of AV9000s.
'the AV9000 never launched in the USA'
If my memory serves me well, the AV9000 was presented worldwide for the first time in the US - being the first complete setup with Dolby Surround.
Can't say if it was sold there afterwards - t that time B&O did not sell tv's in US.
You can often get the tv-part of it for free nowadays in Denmark - if you are willing to pick it up yourself.
MM
There is a tv - and there is a BV
Maybe launched wasn't the correct word to use.
Could be that I got the AV9000 confused with the AV7000, that wasn't targeted to the European market. I just seemed to remember, that the AV7000 was made for the US market, because the didn't have the AV9000.
Yes, the AV7000 was definitely for the US market - can't remember it being sold in Denmark.
It was mainly a soundmachine/decoder, and they stopped making it as the AV9000 arrived.
Who has a working AV7000-unit to show in the thread?
The AV9000 arrived in 1992 according to BeoWorld... and the AV7000 in 1993... But at the same time the product specification page does also say: "The unit delivered Dolby Pro-Logic Surround Sound. The system comprised: Beosystem 7000, a Beovision MX6000 television and four active speakers. It was eventually phased out when Beosystem AV9000 was introduced." Could someone shed some light on this?
I have one and it's actually pictured above - the unit placed lowest on the Attyca. I have converted it to 240V, but it isn't fully working though, as I can't get it to turn my speakers on. A bit OT, but does anyone know where to find a service manual or have an idea what could be wrong?
Dennis
in Australia we call that Beoporn ! :)
Drew
We should perhaps make a seperate thread about this!
Not the 'Beoporn', but the AV7000
I remember watching the movie Blade at the cinema and seeing av9000 with lab 8000s in deacon frosts penthouse,it still looked cool.great product placement.
BL 12-3:
alenvprekrsku:BL 12-3:
Are your BL12.3 on stands ? Hard to see in the picture.
From my week end experience with 12.2s in two houses they really excelled on the wall.
I plan on a pair of these for rear speakers once I get a new BV sorted.
@valve1, yes my BL 12-3 are on floor stands and I use them for back surround.
Floor stand.
The BeoLab 12-3 have really an amazing design !
Love it or hate it, it's so different from the masses.
What about the sound if you can compare to a pair of BeoLab 3 ?
That's an amazing collection! Love seeing a 3500 mounted on the wall. Looks really cool with the BL4500s too. Very nice.
@ Dennis
That is hardcore - for sure
@Dennis
Your room is amazing, like an interactive museum! Do you spend a lot of time actually listening to music?
Beosound 5 Encore + Beosystem 5500 + S45.2; BV7-40 MKV + BL7.1 + BL14.4+ AppleTV4; various link rooms with MCL2 A or MCL2 A/V + RL60.2 / CX100 / CX50 & Cona / IWS2000; BG4000; Beosystem 1200 + BV1600.
multiple, forum was a bit slow
multiple, cannot delete...
MJBeo: multiple, forum was a bit slow
Or you too fast
Dennis - that is a most amazing set up!
When I was at the height of my B&O collecting about 5 years ago, that is exactly how I wanted my own living room to look. Superb!
Girlfriend went off to Berlin this morning. Happy saturday afternoon!!
BeoVision Eclipse 55, BeoPlay S8 (sub+rears), BeoPlay A9 MKII (living room), BeoVision Avant 32 DVD (retro gaming, basement), BeoLab 4000 (entertainment room, basement), BeoSound 8 (workshop), 2x BeoPlay S3 (PC), BeoPlay A1, BeoPlay H2/H3 (on the go)
Well, Frederik - you should have invited me, then
After the demise of my BV3 and a house move, I've 'downsized' to a 6-26. Despite having to buy some 3m SCART leads (remember those!), I am very pleased!
This is my partners new toy,she beat me to it when we were in newcastle( its the display A8 from fenwicks) we were up there to see miranda hart at the metro arena.There was just one beolit 12 and one A8 both on display,there not stocking B&O anymore,sounds brill more so at £475.
Its all about the music.
