Beoworld - is this the quietest hifi forum in the world?

36 replies

I know im far form the most active member here and with such limited knowledge except for the handful B&O gear I've owned i struggle to post more. Is this one of the more quiet and least populated hifi forums around... Seems such a shame. Where has everyone gone and why so few memebers now. Going back 10 years it seemed so active and with so many heavy posting members. Why have we been desserted? It' s like last few in the village after an outbreak of bubonic plague.

Should we do what B&O have done and merge with a big player. Perhaps we should merge with the Naim forum or Hifiwigwam but our ethos is so different...

When did B&O merge with a big player?

With future TVs and with the LG g5. Perhaps collaboration is a better word pending a merger or buyout. I know B&O are looking for a buyer.

Hi Seethroughyou,

Well the A1 thread really brought the forum back to life AND guess what? It is the cheapest of the range but my, it's so full of character with a truly superb design and decent build.

It was lovely to see such a good vibe created by the A1's arrival! 

Maybe quiet elsewhere as the Moment is pretty bad and it's very quiet on the TV front at present as the new models are a few weeks away.

 

Well, a lot of questions are answered by searching the forums..

But it is a bit boring here sometimes 😎

Always exciting though Leo when there is speculation about something cool I guess :) Personally, I think that the A1 has been the best thing to ever happen to B&O PLAY. Let's hope it's a sign for the way forward for PLAY and that the new TV will follow in its success. I hope so...

This place doesn't seem too bad to me? If it was too busy I don't think I'd get any work done 😎 isn't it just because we're focused on one brand that it's more quiet than other generic forums?

I reckon there will be a burst as has been mentioned when new products come out.

I just tried replying and got a time-out with a page of code.

I haven't got the time to retype a long reply, bu I suspect it's about the changing nature of the products and a lot of the old frequent posters now using the likes of facebook.

 Apart from the speakers, maybe there are fewer reasons for buyers to go for B&O systems these days, and therefore dwindling posters here.

I also like chatting here, more or less people here all the time. I also wanted to start a slack-channel for some real time chatting (which I think is great fun and social). Let me know if anyone wants to try it out. The channel is already open 🙂
One answer may be: Many members are very busy playing a game called REAL LIFE. They are so immersed that they join this forum only for problems in that game or are curious about new B&O stuff or ask for and give some advice ...

Back to real life ...
