Beolab 17 with the Sony Bravia A1E OLED TV

6 replies

Does anyone have any experience hooking up the Sony Bravia A1E TV to the Beolab 17 wirelessly? I am thinking of purchasing the combination but not sure how that would work and what else would I need, e.g., Beosound Moment, Transmitter 1? Is the sound quality better with wires (ethernet, TOSLINK) or would wireless suffice?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for your input. It seems that I may be able to set up the system using a Transmitter 1 coupled with the Beolab IR receiver to control the Sony TV and turntable, and its volume. I will be stopping by the B&O shop soon to discuss. I won't put this up until May next year when the construction is completed on our home. I will post an update.

I am planning wall mount the TV - though not flush - and may consider the receiver if I go the 5.1 route. Thanks!

Really first think if you want OLED now coouse if you dont know

I have a Loewe OLED tv, and it’s better than LCD in every way.

TLE,

How did you go with the set up ?  Did you end up with the BL 17?  

There is also another box called an Axiim Q which will work.

It is a WISA transmitter and also a surround sound "amp" and has 7.1 channels.

There is also an update to the Sony A1 OLED, in that it is the exact same TV for 2018 with an additional new model called the A8 which gets rid of the kick stand to allow for closer mounting to the wall
