@Chris T: I can't get my head around the difference between Bild 5 and Bild 7 can you? I assumed Bild 7 was later technology as the number is higher and it has motorised table and floor stands, but from reading various articles online I think they are saying the Bild 5 is a more recent OLED panel but without the gimmicks? What's going on! What is the best 55" Loewe set at the moment and price? Cheers, Simon.

BeoSystem 5 would be the complete answer as it would be 4K and I would be happy to pay more. Word is that B&O are set to close their television development department in Struer so I can't see the BeoSystem 5 becoming a reality. If anyone knows otherwise please speak up. 

It's closed, not closing? The BeoSystem 5 won't happen as there's no requirement for it.

Iam pretty sure the bild 7 has the "lg e6" screen as it supports 3d, except for the bild 7 77" that had the "lg w7" screen. The bild 7.55 and 7.65 are older models, i've seen them last year (october) both look very nice though, also the motorised screen. It moves up to reveal the soundbar.

The bild 5 oled range has the "lg b7/c7" screen. As it does not support 3d anymore. Lg took the polorised filter out to make the screen able to show more brightness.

Iam fairly certain about this, but not 100%

Folks, there is really no difference between various OLED screens in terms of the picture quality. All 2017 panels do not have 3D. Difference between BILD 5 & 7 Is all about the additional features like motorized stand / Panel , A bit more powerful sound bar "120W versus 80 W" and some nicer finish at the back with fabric covers etc,

Sounds easier just to buy an Eclipse...since Loewe also uses an LG screen. At least its an all in one solution.

....and maybe that is the reason for B&O making the Eclipse as it is ;-)

For surround sound, the Loewe TVs have a surround sound decoder fitted with a digital output, marked as "DAL" (Digital Audio Link).  First, you need a DAL to Audiolink adapter and an Audiolink Breakout cable from your Loewe dealer.  I can then provide cabling to connect any combination of Beolab speakers (up to 5.1 channels) to these Loewe adapters.

Hi Steve,

Would you know if it's possible to send an on/off signal to the beolabs using the AudioLink solution? I currently have a set of BeoLab 4's for my computer, and at very low volumes, they tend to switch off, or don't automatically switch on when a video is played at this low volume. I don't really mind that they switch on slightly too late when I start playing something on the computer, but when watching a movie, I really wouldn't like to have eg. rear speakers waking up too late because they fell asleep when no sound was going there.

Is there a solution for this?

Not sure if this Almando kit takes care of this. If it does, it may be a solution. However will this box send subwoofer signals to the front speakers if no sub is installed? (Thinking of BeoLab 9's in the front.)

Hi crossbytje,

I haven't used the Almando kit (I did try to contact Almando several times in recent years to discuss their kits, but they didn't reply to any of my requests - not sure why?) so unfortunately I cannot comment on the Almando products.  Hopefully they would reply to your enquiry if you contact them directly with any questions?

In theory we could look at developing a circuit to take the 12 volt trigger from the Loewe TV Audiolink output and using this to activate the Beolab speakers, but this isn't something we have ready to build for you as of today.  My current solution would use the "Line" mode for speakers that have this option and the other speakers (centre and subwoofer) would be triggered via a manually controlled trigger voltage.  Please contact me via my sponsor link below if triggering the speakers from a Loewe TV is something that is of serious interest to you and I will be pleased to start the development work for this.

Kind regards, Steve.
