Yes to the first question, and when they moved to active speakers to the second.

So - you can decode 'Google (or whatever) Translate', Soundproof...  👍

(Q: "Has B&O ever not had self amp and if when did that stop?")   😮

I didn't understand that question...  Glad  You did  😁

Neither did I 🙁

Let us hope the op gets the answer 'translated' well!

Is the OP saying... "and if (they did have a self amp) when did it stop being produced?" Or the opposite? Some clarification is required if possible! Could always ask the original question in Google translate then port the tranlsation across perhaps...

What?

Maybe "ever not had"; No, they have had. And "when it stop"; It stop when something got wrong in it 😁

If someone asked me "Have you ever NOT had a Ferrari?"  - I guess the answer must be "Yes"... as I never had a Ferrari... 👍 

Let's hope Obama and Putin never use computer generated translation when they communicate... It might start WW 3... 😁

I also always never did not have no Ferrari.
But I'd like to always never be without one.

I'm not sure,  - is this off-topic?

I think we should remember that not everyone has English as either their first or second language. It was good of the original poster to ask the question in English.

The answer is really that B&O have used external amplification is the past and still do. A number of recent speakers have required passive amplification - the CX50 and the Beovox 1 come to mind. B&O still supply external ampifiers to serve these speakers.
