Audiophile vs beolab 50

12 replies
I'm starting to understand why audiophiles do not want bang & olufsen.
Please, share your views 🙂
It’s like a bad marriage. More downs and ups.

When it is good a dawn good but the downside it what sticks to you.

....and please explain, what (you think) is an audiophile.

I think a audiophile is a person who would find a way to get the best sound he or she like within the budget.

I always liked b&o before for the sound and ease of use.

One other thing about the beolab 50 I don’t like is the tweeter is not pointing down enough. Ewen when sitting on the sofa it is to high up.
This is a speaker for those who love willy moon.

So, and what keeps you from selling them - and getting ‘the best sound within the budget’.....whatever that might be (assuming you are one of those audiophiles).

Just curious!

beolab 90's must be terrible then because the tweeters are even higher up 😎

How far away from them do you sit?

 

I really don't understand what you're trying to get at here, your definition of audiophile falls exactly within the range of a person who really likes and has the budget for beolab 50's🤔

 

Like MM said, if you don't like them, why not sell them? Nothing wrong with that

two remarks.

1. Let say you have a length of 180cm. The total height of a BL50 is 103cm. So do you sit on the floor if you listen to music or.....?

2. So if one only can permit a MP3 player he is within his budget an audiophile? I have the impression that most “audiophiles” would disapprove! Note: I never understood the concept of “audiophile”, other than somebody who loves to listen to music.

😀😃😃😄😁😂😂😀! Guys, I don’t really think, he knows what he has! Or Maybe, he’s too Hype about it! Stop beating around the Bush and enjoy your Great System! If you’ve found something Better, you wouldn’t have Spend whopping on that! There’s nothing Better out there in the Audiophile!
