Hi all,
Just returned from the B&O weekend in Arhus.
Wow, what a pleasant surprise !!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to all the other winners too.
Rudy
Congrats to all the lucky winners!
Too long to list....
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, but do I need to get in touch to provide my postal address, or will I be contacted?
Jonathan
Oh dear oh dear!
I can't believe what I have just seen! I usually have a look to the member winners, just to see if familiar names appear, I've got many friends here!
But my name?
I thought this would never happen to me, it was just impossible... and yet!
THANK YOU LEE, I shall treasure these beautiful speakers!
And thanks to everyone else for the congrats, they warm my heart.
Champagne chilling... (no, I don't drink Champagne in Martini glasses, nor do I put olives in it! )
Cheers!

I hadn't clocked that it was you! Very well done - you can now compare them to some of the older equipment!
Peter
Congrats to all the winner ; lovely prizes !
Peter: I hadn't clocked that it was you! Very well done - you can now compare them to some of the older equipment!
Oh yes! And very happy to do so! And you can count on my reporting the results!
But tell me Peter, the most recent B&O I have is my Beosystem 5500 (no Beolink on this one).
Will I need special cables then?
You have 3 choices with the 5500:
1. Buy attenuating cables - these have a built in impedance which reduces the output from the amplifier to nearer line level and is what the 6000s will need.
2. Run RCA leads from the pre-amp out sockets to the 6000s. This is actually the same as 1 as this output is derived from the power amplifier but has a large impedance added to it - look at the otherwise useless service manual on site - all 4 pages of it!
3. Run it from the real pre-amp, but this means removing the metal hoops and disconnecting the power amplifier! One would expect this to sound the best but it rather stops you using the amplifier for passive speakers! Most acoustically pleasing but you would have a 5000 if you wanted the best sound! That interestingly has a proper pre-amp output!! Actually belay this - just studied the diagram more and the line in and out socket comes off before the volume control so is therefore not so useful. I should have remembered this as I use this output on a loop through my headphone amplifier! You could use one of those!!
chartz: But tell me Peter, the most recent B&O I have is my Beosystem 5500 (no Beolink on this one). Will I need special cables then?
As I recall 5500 doesn't have variable line outs, so you'll need something to drop the speaker level outputs into line level, and connect that to the RCA inputs on the Beolabs. Sounds Heavenly should have them, unless you want to build the adapters yourself

This is the Sounds Heavenly product!
Thanks very much for such comprehensive answers!
A sweep for Europe, not unlike the Ryder Cup!
Congratulations to all winners. I completely forgot about the prize draw while working on M70 center project and watching the Ryder Cup. I'll try to remember next month!
Running out of monthly draws. Just 3 left before the switch to quarterly, right?
Congratulations too all you winners!
I had to take care about my little family so I missed the price draw and the thrill..

I don't think you should have - it was discussed starting in November 2011 in the now archived forum; you will find your own post on page two.
I'm not sure if there was any other official announcement on the final decision, but it seemed to be OK with everybody back then.
That is what I meant, a discussion, ok, but I cannot remember a decision and / or an announcement...
... even the main site states:
"Gold Membership
The highest level which allows access to all sections on the BeoWorld website PLUS qualifies you for automatic entry every month of your membership into the BeoWorld Monthly Prize Draw where you can win literally thousands of pounds worth of current and vintage B&O."
http://www.beoworld.org/what.asp
The site needs updates - there is no monthly price draw (in 2013)...Several pages refer to the monthly draw.
If people sign-up, pay and don't get their price draw I suppose some will not like it.
Thank you for bring to my attention the fact that some parts of the Beoworld web site had not been updated.
I can confirm that I believe that all parts of the web site which talked about a monthly draw has been replaced with quarterly including the Prize Draw rules.
Apologies for this oversight..
Regards Keith....
Hello Keith,
no need to apologize.
Thanks for updating.
