Yes, what you are writing isn't true, ding ding ding! 🤩
Well my problem is that i'm too lazy to type my opinion. ∆omeone please jump in, i've seen this topic raised before, but i'm not very good at articulating...
The use of certain drivers was because implementing "better quality" drivers had no discernible benefit. In my knowledge it's important that the drivers match the constraints of the speaker cabinet. The distortion you are perceiving may be from the fact that speaker drivers, amplifiers, componets and X-overs are squeezed into the tiniest space... and there are serious serious limitations. "It is the most beautiful speaker many say" and that is the balance between form and function
...... not 'image' 😡
I am sorry to everyone for being OT but I'm disgruntled by remarks that unnecessarily verbal-bash B&O ("B&O is too into preserving its stylish 'I don't care about what others think about me' image"), and i feel obliged to say something.
So my question? > ...if this is how you view the company why oh why do you buy the products?
*i also apologise for being rather passionate here please don't take anything personally*
There are and already have been speakers out there smaller than the Beolab8000s that produce bigger sounds because of better drivers and better loudspeaker design. And they happen to be non-active/conventional designs BTW. http://www.mark-daniel.com/ http://www.everything-but-the-box.com/ http://www.haliaetus.com/hava/haliaetus.html
The mark-daniel web site has my virus scanner running into overdrive! I hope the speakers are better than the website.
