I regret not buying one when they were available.

as it's throw back thursday I added something new but old to my collection...

Hey Mark, is that a B&W Zeppelin I see? If anything, that design is more B&O than some of the play things. I have the A8 in a guest bedroom but much prefer the dynamic sound of the Zeppelin. the A8 is very mid sounding - dull bass with a dull treble.

eagle eyes 🤒 I just love the purity of design of the Zeppelin (the sound is impressive too) but rarely use it these days as my BeoLit has taken over in this room due to practicality. I also under calculated when I mounted it in the chimney *** and is far too bassy when played loud for my tastes or the pigeons .. 

Quite pleased the way it all turned out - I am keeping my finger crossed that the photo actually will attach.

My set-up:

Samsung TV, Marantz 5008, BL 18,19 Transmitter 1, Definitive Technology Center Speaker, BL 15 for rear speakers ( wireless and ceiling mounted)

Just in case you were wondering why in the world would I have my T1 standing on cork " legs" - the T! gets too hot and causes the speakers to cut in and out.

Ever since I did this it stopped - and yes B&O are amazed and bewildered by my " high tech" solution.

T1 basically overheating when placed on a surface as intended? Is that a defect, or a known characteristic of the model?

(What's funny is that I was just thinking, "what's that T1-looking stand with tiny legs?")

Hi Earl,

Truth is I don't know, it is a big mystery.

What I do know is this  -- the unit was swapped out and the result was the same.

Speakers and T1 received the latest firmware and software updates from B&O technicians - same result.

Without doubt, the Marantz Receiver generates a fair amount of heat in addition to the heat generated by T.

Net, net - when I place the T1 on the shelf the speakers start cutting out - when I have it on legs - they don't.

The only difference between the two positions - more heat from below dissipates and this seems to make a big difference.

Hey , the box behold the Beocord ??? What's That...

I like the cabinet - where's it from?
