Hi Beoworlders,

I wondered if anyone would be interested in watching a live Question and Answer session on YouTube with myself and John at B&O Manchester? If you have any questions for us (they don't have to be about Bang & Olufsen!) then please add them in the comments below ;-)

Kind regards, Steve.

For sure Steve! I am always eager to your Youtube videos on your channel. Bring it on!

Go for it!

Absolutely! YES!!!

Hi Steve, I've enjoyed your videos comparing speakers across the years and the range.  In one recent video you gave a few tips for auditioning speakers. 

Suggestion for your next video:  could you expound on this?  How should someone make the most of the time during which they audition speakers in a B&O showroom?  How should they prepare?  (Cleaning out your ears, for example, was a genius suggestion; simple enough to overlook.)  What sound pressure meter do you use/recommend? How long should the audition last, how many tracks to audition, etc, etc.

Since John will join you, it would be great to hear his side of the same question.  What should a customer do to maximize the experience, and not waste the time of the customer and the dealer?

Just go for it!

It can be an exciting program because I'm convinced there are many questions where your view on it would be interesting. I myself have chosen B&O for its ease of use and then I prioritize the music quality very high.

Some questions that I would like to hear you discuss.

• In an NL / ML system. In the ML section would it be possible to program any button on Beo4 as "Join"
• I have a Horizon TV where ATV4 can be controlled (through HDMI) with Beo-remote but how do I wake ATV? Now I still have to have an ATV remote to wake it up. 
• With a Moment or Core, it is possible to play HD music, but what quality does the NL system manage?
• I find that music via a Horizon compared to BV7 sounds different with the same speaker set, what do you think?
• Many B&O products are used wirelessly, how good must the signal be for e.g. BS35 to work smoothly? Is it possible to measure with any app on the phone?
• If I want the best sound from a BL20 or 50, does it matter if it is connected to BV, Core / Moment or 3PP product? What are your experiences?
• I'm quite disappointed that B&O abandons its own multiroom system, it has already made me start to think about how I most easily switch to Sonos. Unfortunately, there is no existing system on the market that can offer integrated TV and audio systems that are controlled with 1 remote control. Don't understand how they can abandon one of the few competitive advantages they have and have had since for a long time. What is your view on this and guidance on how our systems can be further developed.

Thanks everyone!

It looks as though we will be going live at 8pm (UK time) on Friday evening on John's YouTube channel.  I will forward the questions to John in the morning, but please tune in on Friday and feel free to ask more questions via the live chat while the show is running!

Kind regards, Steve.

@Steve

Please ask John to show the new functions (metadata in audio mode) of the Harmony after the latest update.
