My mistake, you are right, I just checked the sound settings and the balance is not available with bass/treble, I was pretty sure to have seen it somewhere in the app.

 

Thanks for the info regarding the black lamellas, I will check with my dealer, but as the frets are coming separately it should be possible to order them or find a way to get them, if ever one of them is breaking during the warranty period, they might have some stock available.

Seems left/right should be there somewhere…..but have looked everywhere and can not find it.

I hope you are right as I was wondering what would happen if one were to break.

There is no left/right balance adjustment in the app for any of the speakers. I've seen this mentioned a handful of times on the forum by people out of frustration.

But the 28s look great and I'm super interested in how you end up finding the 28s vs. 50s.

Happy Friday to all.

There is no balance for the speakers directly that I'm aware of, but you can adjust balance through the BV. I have my 28s, 50s and 18s set up that way for various listening scenarios though the controls in my Harmonys.

On the BV it’s 

Speaker  Groups

Speaker Distance 

Speaker Level 

to get the balance/image as you like it. 

love the black frets 👍🏻

Thanks for the compliments! Unfortunately as I am still using a BV7 I don’t have the speaker group option. I have it set for TV viewing on the BV7 as opposed to music. I guess I now have another excuse to get an Eclipse…LOL.

Ouch!

Found out today that there was a software update at some point on the 28s. It is now possible to connect the two speakers to each other with an ethernet cable, but connect them to WiFi.

Previously, and still on the B and O web page, a hybrid setup was not possible. It had to be either all wired or all wireless.
And don’t forget to change the default compressed LC3 communication between both speaker to full PCM (in Audio Quality)
The BL28s look great Razlaw. I didn’t think I needed them, but now I’m not so sure.

Enjoy them!
