Hi svinaik,

congratulation on your setup.

i am following your activities/progress as I am in the same boat as you...not convinced by Beovision Eclipse but eager to upgrade from current Beoplay V1 to OLED-based technology. And as I am German...Loewe is would be a natural fit ;-)

I visited a Loewe flagship store and talked to them. I completely understand how to integrate BeoLabs with Armando and Loewe. Really nice. 

But there is one "huge blocking stone" before I go and buy a Loewe TV, which is the remote.

I do really love the look and feel of  the Beoremote One. And the Loewe remote is not in the same class.

Are you aware of any solution/approach how to use a Beoremote with Loewe TV? The Loewe guys from the flagship store could not help me...

Have fun,

Kiwi4all

I have loaded a picture of Loewe BILD 7 back side with the Fabric cover in the Media section. Looks and feels very classy and upmarket.

On the floor is Almando Box which gives me full integration with B&O speakers. It is really just 2 cables (Ethernet cables with RJ 45 connector). One cable is from Loewe TV to Almando IN, and other Cable is to BL 50 Master speaker (Front out).

 

I did not write ‘behind’, but ‘on the left’....that big box there.

Maybe it is where you hide your booze ;-))))

Isn't that a BeoSystem 3 cabinet? Maybe Sviniak uses it to house his appleTV and other video / audio sources.

Oh yes. It is indeed the B&O Cabinet which houses the Oppo / Apple TV and BM-5 . Has place for few bottles of excellent Japanese Whiskey also :)

I am not aware of any other solution other than to use Loewe App for remote and then you do not have to use any remote :).

On the other side of argument, I did not like the Eclipse remote with "ugly" Netflix buttons etc. Loewe is the same standard issue and feels very good but I understand the preference for Beoremote 1.

I'm enjoying following your experiences in integrating the Loewe set with your B&O speakers. I truly wish Loewe had a presence in my country. The sets are attractive and much more reasonable in cost and performance than the Eclipse. Oops, I mentioned the Eclipse in a Loewe thread! I'm doomed! 😎

HAH! I was following the "other" thread having just gotten back from a trip, and did not expect the turn it took as I caught up from being away.

I echo Jeff's statements. I've enjoyed being a part of your journey, Svinaik. Thank you for taking the time to post your experiences / pictures, etc.

Out of curiosity, does the Loewe center speaker retract when not in use (i.e. when you're only using the BL50's)?

I don't really know, but is the Avant capable of doing this? The Avant is probably better suited, as the screen does not move wile doing so..

So, probably where your mess behind the tv goes afterwards, then.

In your post above you wrote:

’Sound setting are very easy and very effective. Easy to switch between 2 speaker mode to full surround mode for different media.‘

Could you please explain how the internal 2.0 speaker of the 7 is integrated with the Almando box solution.

How does it change to a center speaker and how do you configure it to do the job as the center with the BL50’s as front speakers?
