B&O Dealers - sometimes they can be alarmingly persuasive!

Thrilled for you Adam. So good to hear about a current B&O product giving you so much satisfaction. Congrats to Geoff Martin and all the team at B&O for producing what seems to be a very successful product for the company. Long may this kind of product development continue. Simon :)

Actually, that is exactly how I (with a friend) carried a pair of BeoLab 90's (albeit one at a time). You wear a leather harness that looks a bit like a steampunk parachute. This is attached to straps that attach to temporary hardware at the bottom of the BL90. Two reasonably healthy persons can walk a BeoLab 90 into a house with it's "leather strap" relatively simply.

I found the service skate too wide for most UK Doors and lifts. Also, lifting straps can impact on the triangle edge if not packed with foam. Also, humping these babes upstairs (done two house moves - so I should know) is a real pain as it requires three pax minimum within a tight space. I'm seriously thinking of making a custom frame that will protect the sides and give good handling purchase.

10/10 for sound

10/10 for design

  2/10 for manoeuvrability and handling

Great Adam!

Heard this very well produced track the other day and thought it would be a super demo track on the BL90s :

The Hunter with Jennifer Warnes on Deezer

The whole album is - as everything, that Jennifer Warnes has made - excellent.

The top-most demoed track in a B&O store probably is her โ€˜Bird on a Wireโ€™ from the album โ€˜Fanous Blue Raincoatโ€™.

She has just released a new album โ€˜Another Time, Another Placeโ€™, by the way.

I already have it, but in a proper format - on vinyl! ๐Ÿ˜

Congrats Adam! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

 

I do have a slight feeling though that you had a tiny tiny desire, extremely deep inside of course, to have those speakers. 

Before that salesman so rudely โ€pushedโ€ them on you! 

Shame on him for forcing you to buy something so horribly beautiful and poor sounding! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‰

I truly hope that you can manage to live with this shame of an installment in your home. ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽฉ

Oh yes. Oh yes indeed!

Getting back to the original topic of the thread, persuasion, have the fingernails grown back in yet? Beer

Come on. That should not be an impulse buy should it? Anyway what an upgrade!
