Actually, there is a small issue present with the A1 when using it in stereo. If the phone is too close to one of the speaker, it gets the chainsaw-effect/dropouts. I think it is mainly if the phone is close to the speaker that is acting as a slave.

I don't know if it is because I have paired both speakers with my phone before setting them up in stereo.

Yes, this makes sense. The phone transmits only to the master, and if the master is further away the phone has to transmit a stronger signal. Meanwhile, the slave is trying to listen to the master but probably has it's receiver circuit saturated by the close proximity and higher transmission strength from the phone versus the more distant signal from the master. Even though these two distinct conversations will likely be conducted on different radio channels, there will be sufficient bleed between the nearby channels to cause this sort of issue.

There's probably not a lot that B&O could do to resolve this - it's the same issue you experience with radios when trying to pick up a distant station when there is a stronger local signal on a nearby frequency (and the reason why, for example, they recommend a minimum spacing between WISA transmitters)

Thanks! 😁

Hello! Been lurking this forum back and forth for a long time now and i think its time for me to post something and introduce myself🙂 im 33years from Sweden but i now live in 3different countries😁

My first start to B&O was in my early 20s ,i had a good job and nowhere to put my money at that time (wish i hade that problem now😎) so i purchased a used beosound 3000 mighty inspired from the tv show "nip/tuck" ,then moved on with some second hand beolab 6000s and later beosound 9000 and a pair of lab8000.

That kept me satisfied until the release of beovision10. I was invited to the launch in norway and decided the same night to buy it.

My first new purchase from BO and probably the first in norway to have it. Was custom delivered with white fret to my request.

After a year or so i was working a lot and stayed abroad so i got a much smaller/uglier/cheaper apartment and decieded to sell all my BO stuff[:\'(] after that i never recovered back in to BO mostly because i did not like anything new they released.. Until one day not long ago i saw an ad for the beolab 18 in rose gold. Unfortunate for me they were no longer for sale. After i while i got hold of a dealer that could source me a brand new pair with a real good price so i had them shipped over and im happy ever since.😳

Now im just looking for a sub. Cant decide about the lab11 (Wall mounted on the pillar on the left) or a S8 sub.. Like the estetics of the lab11 but better bass from the s8.. Dont want to go with the lab19..with that kind of money invested in 18/19 i rather buy a set of used lab5s..

Thanks for reading and ignore all misspelling etc. As i write this on a phone with autocorrect on swedish😁

Below a pic of my current setup.

Lab18 connected to a s8 connection hub via optical to a ps4 that acts as my media center.
