I currently have a pair of Beoplay S8s but due to issues with the Connection Hub b&o might end up refunding my purchase. My question is if the Beosound Stage can catch up to the Beoplay S8 sound wise, or perhaps if the Stage is even better considering its newer technology. I have a non-b&o TV and won't be investing in a BeoRemote one.
If it were me, I’d take a Stage over the S8 any day. The fact that it supports Dolby Átmos and technology in the Stage seems far more advanced.

Hi, I think the soundbar and the S8 system are two different things. I personally think that the soundbar is great for film and music. The bass and spatial sound are amazing. However, the S8 can do a bit more when it comes to music. If I had to choose, I would choose the soundbar, the concept fits perfectly in medium-sized rooms.Best regardsHannesI currently have a pair of Beoplay S8s but due to issues with the Connection Hub b&o might end up refunding my purchase.

Is the issue between the S8 and the connection hub or the connection hub and the TV.What I’m getting at is if there is a compatibility issue with your TV, will the Stage be able to “fix” it? Can you ask the dealer / retailer for a demo and if it suits you in your home, then purchase? Or if it is just the connection hub can that be fixed and your S8 speakers are OK?Just a few Q’s to think ofCheersMI currently have a pair of Beoplay S8s but due to issues with the Connection Hub b&o might end up refunding my purchase.

I think he's talking about the "curse" of the B&O connection hub: that idling his pitch noise…

Thanks everyone for your inputs. Yes I'm talking about the curse of the Connection Hub (high pitch idling noise). The only way this can be fixed is to use the speakers with a B&O TV (so they connect through powerlink) and since I don't have That much money they only other solution would be to go with another product. Both music, tv and movies are important to me. I like the S8 subwoofer but the unability to adjust the bass has been quite annoying, and the lack of wirelessness.
