Hi there Beoworld.
I'm currently looking at a pair of used beolab 5's (4 years old) with the software 2.61a.
Does anyone know, if there is a big difference between 2.61a and 3.10a?
I can't seem to find anywhere where the different softwares are explained :)

No sound or functional improvements in SW 3.00a / 3.10a /3.20a (compared to 2.61a)
- Just necessary cause of production / design changes / hardware layout
(some parts are not any longer available from supplierers)
- Re-design to reduce power consumption in standby - to fulfill EU regulations
SW 3,xx NOT to be used on older models (series 1.xx and 2,xx)
Okay, that sounds great.
As long as it doesn't affect the sound quality :)

I was wondering if the software limitation above still applies? I recently acquired information from a B&O dealership regarding an update from sw1.6 and the answer was they could be updated to the most recent sw.
Regards!
Why would you want to downgrade?

WRONG
This is what I have regarding the recent sw versions :
- Serial number 212xxxxx New Software 3.00a
- Serial number 217xxxxx New Software 3.10a
- Serial number 219xxxxx New Software 3.10a (2011)
- Serial number 229xxxxx New Software 3.2 (2012)
- Serial number 240xxxxx New Software 3.2 (2014)
