Good effort Guys.

Erik, I was disappointed not to be able spot the Lego Saturn V next to your BL5s - I only bought mine because of your post :-)

Hi everybody,

We wanted to make a quick announcement for this Sunday's show, don't worry it's still the same time at 7pm central European time.

This week we'll have a special guest joining us for the whole show, he's a Beonut just like all of us and he probably has more knowledge about all things B&O of the past 20 years than Erik and I combined as he does this for a living :)

Here is a link to his setup and such: https://www.instagram.com/bangandolufsenyyc/

So if anybody has any questions, you can leave them on here or join us in the live chat, don't miss out on this one!

Hope to see you all live on Sunday 7pm central European time or you can watch it back later on YouTube (link in bio)

Hi Guys,

Really enjoyed the last few podcasts so well done!!

A few questions:

First one is for Michael: Can you talk about how the the 50´s perform without the use of the center speaker on the Eclipse. Willie mentioned, last week, thats how he used the the tv with the 90´s and I was just wondering how they performed, do the manage well with speaking. The reason I ask is I only use Bang & Olufsen speakers with 3rd party tvs, just a personal preference, and dont normally use a center speaker. Center does not pass wife acceptance factor 😁. I would also like to hear the latest on your issues, I hope you are close to a solution 🙂 

Second is more a topic request, it would be great to get Willie´s experience on integrating with 3rd party tv´s, what does he use as a bridge? Core, Almando, other options (maybe with an arc option to control volume with the tv remote, I just ordered the neeo remote for my tv)? and in what configurations, stereo or surround?

Finally, do you consider the 5´s a worthy purchase today? I own 20´s been thinking about a change. Also thinking about 50´s, I have seen a couple of good ex demo deals but its a completely different price range... What would you consider the pro and cons of the 5s as a purchase today for music and tv.

Its cool if you don´t answer this all today 🙂. Thanks a lot! 

Kind regards,

Ammier

Very much enjoying your podcasts it's just a shame the time zone doesn't line up for me very well!  I have a question i'd love to be answered today as I have to make a decision tomorrow morning on a new television.  Do you guys think I should buy an Avant 85" or get the Eclipse 65" or wait until the new 77" is released later this year?  Is the tech in the Eclipse that much better than the Avant? Is OLED & HDR absolutely necessary?  All of my 5's, 9's and 8000's are white so the fabric/alu/wood options on the Eclipse is a little disappointing just now! 

Hi Ammier & Luke,

thanks for your questions :D

I'll take note and make sure to go over it today with Willie and Erik!

if there is anything else, don't be afraid to ask 🤒

Hi Luke!

Yes, it is a shame that the time zones doesn't line up for you. But Michael always post our talk on Youtube on his channel.

We love that we get questions so feel free to ask them here and we will answer in the podcast and you can later watch later. 🙂

If we somehow ran out of time and didn't answer the questions we can write back to you in this forum.

Btw, Love that you also like Beo in white. 😁
