I haven't heard of that brand Duels. Looks very similar to the REGA range.

It's an Austrian brand. Looks like a Pro-Ject Debute Esprit. Interesting in the Debute line is the Debute USB with an inbuild preAmp, which is soundwise ok. The Price-performance ratio of the turntables is very good. Personally i like "The Classic". Looks like a Linn Sondek LP12 and costs € 999,00 incl. Ortofon 2M silver.

Does anyone know if you will be able to pair two of these up into a L-R stereo set up through multilink?

Sorry - how would you combine to audio systems?

Hi Brigantinus! thank you for the info. WOW the classic really does look like the Linn Sondek LP12. Incredible how that wonderful design is still going strong!

You make it sound like an insurmountable challenge ?

Given the architecture of the flask, quite the contrary actually!

But it would of course completely destroy the "immersive"  360° mono sound.

Incidentally, if you look carefully, it's properly more like 340°....👍

Exactly that is my point - you can't make a stereo set out of two 'speakers', that are conceived to have a 360° Immersive sound.

The focus here is on 'immersive' not on mono - and precisely that is what is needed by this kind of speaker/BeoSound!

Actually with the 340° you are right.

When you walk around it, you can notice a little change in the sound when you pass by the small joint for attaching the upper part to the lower.

Otherweise the sound is pretty much the same all the way round.

And I am sure most people won't even notice this in every day use.....👍

I don't get it ?

How is it possible to be "immersed" in sound from just one speaker?

Unless the word is used in the sense that the speaker simply defies established physics? 💡

Who knows, if you live long enough, you get to hear everything I guess,-  or nothing at all...

My guess would be from reflected sounds.  It would depend on the room.

I agree. It's the lack of beaming I think that they are calling "immersive." As opposed to one single regular speaker, or even two stereo ones close together, that give you variable sound as you move around because most of the sound beams forward, not omnidirectional. Even better would be several mono ones in a room spread out to produce a more uniform sound field, similar to what you get in a restaurant or such with a commercial sound setup. But at the price of the BS1/2, wow, that could get pricey in a hurry. I'm betting the new BSounds give a better whole room experience than my BS2000s, they're bound to have better wide angle dispersion.
