Nice to see the old Avant DVD with BL 8000!

Hello Markiedee,

I really like your setup and it's actually quite funny, but I was thinking about a similar setup myself: A Loewe Individual Slim Frame 46 without speaker + a pair of Beolab 14.

Here is my question then:

Do you use the TV remote to adjust the sound of the Beolab?

Is it annoying to no have a central speaker when you watch TV? Do you really have the feeling the sound comes from the TV or is the sound too much spread out?

When you listen to some music, do you use the TV as a mediacenter?

Can you please take a picture of the Audio link system ensuring the connection between the TV and the Beolab?

Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated.

I just bought a house (if all goes to plan), and I can't wait to setup my new living room with my home cinema. I'm so glad that I have kept most of my original boxes, which makes it easier to move my beloved speakers 🙂

Hi Fredpert, using B&O speakers with loewe tvs is one of the easiest experiences for me personally. Due to the fact that it has a pre-amp built into the tv.

with the older loewe compose i had you would use the audio link cable which had Left right, centre, rears and sub connections which with the appropriate cables made it possible to hook up active speakers.

you would then go into the tvs menu and select the speaker system option, from there you adjust the speakers distances, frequencies and volume output and weather or not you have a center or subwoofer connected.

Where i had beolab 14s hooked up i chose 30hz frequency for the speakers. Everything ran perfectly with the tv sending volume out to the speakers turning on when they sensed a signal and off to standby when the TV was switched off.

Due to a few issues I had with my tv is why I was upgraded to the newer individual slim frame model. This model has a digital audio link which requires a digital audiolink converter as that attaches to the audiolink cable with an Ethernet cable supplied going into the loewe.

from there it was a case of setting it up exactly the same as I did with my previous one. The sound quality was definitely enhanced and i loved it unfortunately the replacement tv has issues where it would crash when opening up the EPG or when changing channels.

But one thing why I would say I'm upset is the fact that it didn't suffer from no backlight bleed or clouding the smoothest motion reproduction I've ever seen due to the new adjustable motion compensation settings and new processors and very deep black levels.

it was perfect, blurays standard def all looked amazing bar those problems it really was a good tv. I was offered another one but due to my experience i chose not to get another one just in case the same thing happened again.

I got my eyes on the new loewe 4k models they look and sound amazing I won't be using my beolab 14s with it though as it has a built in speaker.

i currently use my beolabs connected to a Logitech bluetooth adapter paired up with my samsung Galaxy streaming spotify wirelessly, it's just amazing and sounds really nice controlling the volume and tracks all from my phone.

Already looking forward to some pictures of their 'new home' 🙂

Here's how my replacement tv looked in situ when it was setup,

Ok I got the new S8!!

Hey mr_anders_son, what do you say about how they sound? I believe many people here would be interested to hear some impressions from an actual owner...

Hello everyone 🙂

Popping in to show you the latest in the evolution of my BS4500...

I have FINALLY raised the Fostex pm0.4n monitors up off of the floor after what feels like years of putting off the project. Thanks to my roomate, I was able to 3D print a mount of my design to allow the Fostii to connect to the stand. The monitors are finally at ear height now and holy cow what a difference! Not sure how I was surviving with them on the floor..

The reason I am posting this to the "Flash your B&O" thread is because this is the last time you will see my 4500 for a while.. It (along with all other stereo bits) is getting packed away and awaiting relocation! I am moving, so the Beo needs to hibernate until I settle back down.

This move is also the primary reason I have been so absent from the forums! This January I will be done with school and will be getting back into the hobby full force, just like the good old days. 😕

Welcome back Evan, we have been waiting for you, and hope to see a little more of you coming the new year.
