Shouldn’t they be toed in?

If there's a listening position between the two speakers, then I would toe them in.

If there's not - then one has to compromise...

PLEASE READ before sending me a Personal Message.

If you have questions about or problems with B&O equipment, these should be directed through your dealer and/or B&O's Customer Service department.

I cannot be a "short circuit", bypassing these communication channels.

Thanks

Thanks, Geoff! I am working to find a wife-approved solution for a permanent listening chair in exactly the perfect spot. Either way, I appreciate and will definitely take your advice.

Thank you so much! This answers a question I have had since getting my 50s.

Thanks, and sadly I guess the lack of response to the firmware means that there is an issue with it that can not be discussed? 😬🙈

Hi Michael, 

 

Are you saying that with the current sw 3.0.0.0616 there is an issue with the bass-response in the 50:s?

I have not experienced any problems with this software. There was a lot of problems with this issue with earlier software 3.0.0.0527 and some other 3.0.0.xxx - software versions. 

But current software 3.0.0.0616 is very solid regarding both stability in the speaker and sound quality both in narrow beam and wide beam.

I don’t have any issues with my 50’s and they’re on software version 616

Beovision Eclipse 65 with floorstand (from STB Brackets), Beolab 50 front, Beolab 3 rear, 2 x Beoplay A6 linkrooms, 2xBeoremote one BT, Beosound 9000 Mark III (sw 3.4), Beosound 5, Philips Hue (all lights in the home), Oppo UDP-203, Apple TV 4K. Beoremote HALO (new), 3xBeoplay Charging pad, Beoplay M5 (new)

I second that. Problem solved till they create new ones.
Or. This is the final one, the one that solved all problems ;-)

Hi all,

is it possible, when you have your Beolab 50s connected to an Eclipse TV, to play music through them directly without turning on the TV? Any particular app you have to use for that? Or do you need a Beosound Core maybe?

Thanks!
