Funny stories from your spouse about B&O

42 replies

Not my other half but I have a pair of BeoLab 6000's that have been downgraded to computer speakers. My friend asked how much they were and he said "3", ofcouse said kinda close they go for $3,700 new. His reponse was "I ment $300".

I'm still not allowed by the spous to sell the Penta's.

She needs to see how loud the tv is set......

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

Shouldn't the volume be adjusted according to the volume you hear, not to the volume you see?😁

 

I have hundreds of quotes from my wife every time I bring home yet another piece of B&O. Unfortunately this being a forum open to minors I cannot print any of them...............

The only one I can really share with you is the often used "tut" (accompanied of course by a resigned shake of her head & upturned eyes).

 

Chris.

The 'tut'...  ah yes, i've heard that so many times. 😂

'Mrs 9 LEE' resigned herself to the fact that B&O would appear, disappear, reappear and then spread to other rooms a long time ago.  She's even given up acknowledging new items - apart from the recent addition of some BeoLab 5's in the lounge - then held a facebook poll amongst her friends as to wether they were hideous or not.  Most of her friends voted 'hideous' and she asked for them to leave.

They are in my lounge as i type this of course, and are going nowhere.  😁

Prospective girlfriend during try-outs enters my listening room, which is adjoining the large kitchen. Sees my BeoLab 5s, asks "What are those?"

Falls silent when she is told they are loudspeakers.

"This could be such a great dining room."

I'm single.

😂😂😂😂 Soundproof, you just made my day!

"Honey... feel free to move them!" would have been my reply :-)

Not necessarily. We've instructed our son (7 y.o) that he's not allowed to set the TV volume higher than 40...

The service menu or customer service menu has an option for max volume level.
