Hi Razlaw

Can you tell more about how they work together with the BV7?

Can you watch the BV without sound, and at the same time listen to music from the Beolab 28?

and if you use them with the BV through PL, and then starts to stream music to them, do they switch to music, so streaming is prioritized over PL or the other way around?

Tried it. With BV7 set to 1 speaker, can play music through the 28s and watch TV on the BV7. The installer started to talk to me about an installation method that would also allow picture on BV7 and music on 28s. I did not need that feature so did not discuss so am not sure what that method is. If the 28s are playing music and BV 7 is turned on, that overrides the 28s and get sound through the powerlink.

Also, if playing the 28s, turn on BV7 and the powerlink, when turning the BV7 off, the 28s also turn off. They do not resume playing music.
Thanks

Razlaw, any new feelings on your 28s? Perhaps especially compared to your former 50s?

I hope the connection issues have been resolved.

Currently: BeoLab 17, BeoLab 18, BeoSound Core, Beosound Level, Beosound A1 2nd Gen, BeoPlay S8 Connection Hub, Halo, Essence Remote

Previously: BeoSound 1 non-GVA

Yes, connection issue is resolved and I absolutely love them! I do not miss the 50s at all. Operation is simpler. Integration with the Halo, even wide/narrow mode control is wonderful. To my ears, in my room, at my listening volumes, (up in to the 60s) they are amazing. I enjoy listening to them much more than I ever did the 50s. I find them more musical, if that makes sense, as opposed to perhaps being technically near perfect. The sound is much more relaxing. The 50s never made me want to replace my 1s, 9s, 12-3s, 6000s, or 4000s. The 28s make me want to start thinking about replacing some of them.

Also, much prefer the Beosonic adjustment as opposed to all the complex adjustments on the 50s.

I do wish they had a left/right balance adjustment. Hopefully that is coming soon just as it was recently added to the Core. I am more thrilled with the 28s than any B and O product I have purchased since my first purchase, a Beosound 2000/Century. I can honestly say I am glad the 50s are gone. I know how contrary that is to the specifications and capabilities of the speakers.

Hi, I’m new to the forum. Can anybody help me.

 

I have a harmony with the BO28 and after 2 month one of the subwoofers was faulty and rattling. My local BO changed this. But now, when I’m watching TV I get clicking noises every 15/20 minutes from the left tower. Not from the subwoofer. But clicking from the speaker. It sounds like static popping noises but I’m aware BO28 won’t do this.

 

has anybody else had issues with the BO28 and more importantly does anybody else experience the popping/clicking noises ?

Welcome to the forum.

On a brand new speaker that is unquestionably under warranty and has already suffered from a warrantied repair, IMHO, this absolutely merits outreach to your dealer.

I have not experienced any issues as you describe, but my 28s are less than a month old.

Hi, do you hear these noises when you use the volume control?

I have the same problem, but did find out that it is one of the powerlink connections. Probably a grounding issue.
