Hi!
can the owners of beosystem 3 ( or anybody else) explain me the advantages of changing my ROTEL RSX 1057 receiver with a beosystem 3? ( beside spending a large amount of cash :))
My system: - ROTEL RSX 1057
- Samsung 50" plasma
- wdtv live hub
- denon 2930 dvd player
- panasonic blu-ray player
- cable box
- 2 beolab 8000's and 4 beolab 6000's
Thanks!
Liviu

kallasr:Masterlink PUC - use Beo 4 to control your devices Easiest integration of your Beolabs Maybe advanced video processing (which I doubt) Ralf
Ralf,
1. masterlink - I don't know what to do with :)
2.PUC - beo4 - I am using a Logiteh Harmony one which works great, I am curios if beo4 or beo 6 ( maybe) can be programmed as my logiteh
3. easiest integration of beolabs - for sure , but spending such amount of money only for this?
4.advanced video processing - ?? - I am quite happy with my image...
Masterlink: integrate B&O Videdo and Audio sources and distribute in your house (via cables).
I prefer several stand-alone units...
Ralf
So, all in all, beosystem 3 is not a big improvement over stand alone units non B&O. ( letting alone 7000 euros :))
Well, we used to have a Beosystem 2 (non HD).
Loved the Beo 4 integrateion!
But that is just too much for this alone...
PS: Tried Lintronic, too - but we did no like the way it worked with our AVR (esp. volume changing).
I am using a Harmony One Logitech Universal Remote. Works great and you can customize all your actions.
Not so sexy as Beo 6 but more ergonomic and very easy to setup your actions.
Maybe those who control lights, curtains,etc really need beo 4/5/6....or Lintronic.
I think I'll go for the triggered cables and stay with my system instead of beosystem 3.
Beosystem 3 excels when using two displays (plasma and projector). Very few people seem to do this though.

Best $7000 HDMI splitter you can get ;-)

I do use different sound fields for the plasma and the projector, since they're not in the same location. I think I'm one of the very few people who are actually using this capability though. I don't know of anything else that will do this, and is the final killer feature that made me settle on the BS3.

I'm another one.
