B&O solution to waking to music with an alarm clock? Not iphone in the pyjamas...

17 replies

I am looking out for a solution for the bedroom beyond having my iphone playing classic FM in the pocket of my pyjama bottoms... Waking up to some soft classical music is one of life's few pleasures and  transforms the pain and misery of getting up every cold morning into a more postive mental state.

I am on the look out for:

1. An clock function with a dim light showing the time.

2. An alarm function that will play music for me.

3. Something that is simple to operate.

4. Something elegant to have in the bedroom / or can be hidden away.

5. Can stream music from a NAS, start playing from where it left off or if not play FM or internet radio of somesort.

6. No need to hassle around with i-things in the morning when dreary and eyes half glued together in the mornings.

7. Can be connected to BL17 or BL3, WISA or non-WISA (mid level B&O speakers).

Any ideas of mix of solutions would be appreciated.

BeoTime with a BeoVision  - can be programmed to switch on the TV or radio source (Internet radio) after it wakes you up with a gentle chime - I have it at home and it is wonderful

Could not agree more, have a Beotime together with a Beolink Active in my bedroom

I have a question to all happy owners of BeoTime:

Can you set more than ONE alarm time?

I would like to set different alarm times at weekend than at weekdays.

When I take a look into manual of BeoTime it seems that you can set only ONE alarm time and also for only ONE source. I cannot believe this.

It's better to believe the manual 😁

It's true: only one alarm for one source
@ Raeuber

You have to believe this, one alarm/one source.

Thanks for the info.

So BeoTime is for a museum or just a design gimmick. Can't understand how anybody can recommend such an outdated alarm. Even with my BV 7 I can set 10 alarm times and all of them with different sources!

We do not want a television in the bedroom as either my wife or I will end up staying up late to watch TV and get into bad habits.

Not good for sleep hygiene to be watching bright things in lead up to bedtime.

Any non-TV solutions at all?

Yes, I was looking at the Tivoli solution which is rather pretty but I was wondering of there was a Alarm clock - Music system solution. I am also not sure the Tivoli will sound anywhere as good nor has stereo in the Tivoli Model 3.

Or you could place two BeoTime clocks in the bedroom, one for your angelheart and one for yourself. Makes two different alarm times with the gentle chime sound or for activating your B&O goodies ( Buy a netradio with clock from Tivoli.)

" Believe nothing you read and only half of what you see, let your ears tell you the truth. "

Or ask your angelheart to wake you up with a kiss and singing a song. Best and cheapest solution ever!😁
