Hey StUrrock - how do you rate the BS8?  Are you using an iPhone? Have you tried the 3 B&O equaliser settings? What is your opinion?   All of my music is on iTunes now. A mixture of 320kpbs CDs rips and 256kpbs iTunes downloads. 

 

Hi Paul,

Love the BS8!

Just for convenience and the ease of portability between a range of devices, I use the highest quality MP3 settings.

I'll have a go with the EQ settings and get back to you, would be interested in your thoughts.

Hi w5bno123 thanks for that info. Sounds an awesome little piece of funky design!

Stuurock let me know how you get on with those settings. I've heard that 'enhance' is really nice and clear!

just to let you know. I couldn't justify it in the end. The Beovision 10 was going to cost at least 4 times as much as a good Sony TV. Maybe I can consider it again when budgets allow but there we go. 

Feel as though it maybe a mistake but there you go

Hi Snappyandrew,

Im in the same position, I love the BV10 but simply cannot justify the out of this world price/margin! Like the BS8, I'm really thinking that we need to see some 2K tv's etc. I think the problem is that there is a lot of good equipment out there four times cheaper etc.

Agreed. Ironically when even some of the better make were pretty ropey, B&O was about twice the price. Now even some of the bulk standard tvs are pretty good they are in some cases 10-13 times the price! Madness. And why am i getting prices of £950 quoted for a Beosound 8? Is this correct?

Chris

Visited my dealer up here in Yorkshire last week,Beosound 8 was £950.I was interested in Beolab 9's which were quoted at £6200.Also Beocom 6000 was £490,Beocom 2 £710 and i think the Beosound 5 was £4800 which included the table stand.

In the US its USD 999.00, how comes ?

Story of our lives in the Uk i'm afraid. If it's decent, it HAS to be more expensive. It's almost a class thing that infests our shops, showrooms and real estate.

I put "technics' and "B&O" in google the other day and saw some very revealing prices!!!!!
