Hi Mogelmose,

Yes, this is possible - there are two options for getting surround sound from a Loewe TV (depending on the model of Loewe TV):-

1) Older Loewe TVs have a 26 pin "Audiolink" connector which I can convert to use with Beolab speakers.

2) The 2017 "Bild" TV range has a DAL (Digital Audio Link) socket instead, this needs a DAL to Audiolink converter (which Lee can supply).  I can then provide the cabling to convert from this adapter to any combination of Beolab speakers.

If you just want stereo sound from a Loewe TV to one or two Beolab speakers, this is straightforward and we can do this with a simple cable connection.

Please feel free to get in touch via my sponsor link below if you need any further help.

Kind regards, Steve.

That sounds great. This leaves me with one question. Are the volume variable or fixed with the audio link? If it is fixed i need 3 Beolink active also :p 

Hi Mogelmose,

The Audiolink output is variable volume, so ideal for connecting to Beolab speakers.  However, if you can please tell me the model of TV that you have, I can check if this also has fixed stereo outputs that we could use with Beolink Active.

Kind regards, Steve.

Goes like this:

Get the DAL - link as an example.

Get the breakout cables - link or from Steve

I know nothing about Loewe Tv's so I can't comment on their performance compared to B&O, I can only comment on how they look. B&O make much prettier looking Tv's, much prettier. Loewe is cheaper and you get cheaper looking. That is the bottom line really. 

Absolutely agree, actually.  Loewe is cheaper, and when comparing say a Bild 5 - 40 UHD on a Motor Floor Stand to a BV14 - 40" on a Motor Floor Stand with beautifully crafted Oak Speaker Cover, it is indeed cheaper looking. The Loewe cannot compete with those looks. Fact.

So, there you are. BenSA is correct. 100% correct. No doubt. No argument. I put my hands in the air, and agree entirely. The BV14 is an incredible looking TV. Pure class. The Rolls-Royce standard of fit, finish and build quality (if you ignore the software).

So, let's crunch numbers, just to be thorough...

Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 14 - 40" UHD Smart TV with Motor Floor Stand and Oak Grille : £6,875

Loewe Bild 5 - 40" UHD Smart TV on Motorised Floor Stand : £2,648

You get what you pay for.  It's just how much extra you're prepared to pay...

That's my point.

The B&O TV is better looking, for sure.  Is it worth two and a half times more?  That's the question you must ask yourself.  If it's "yes" - then I agree with you.  If it's "no" - I agree with you.  Nobody is right, or wrong - nobody is clever, nobody stupid.  It's a personal decision.

This goes on and on!

But why the Loewe 40", when you can get a 55" OLED from Philips at 14999 DKK/1800 UK£

Is there anyway for bl18 wisa to work with the Loewe tv?

Loewe has their own wireless standart via a breakout box...for their own wireless speakers.

I guess you could use the DAL/breakout cable solution to a WiSa transmitter -> BL18

Its difficult to know if its really justified to charge that much, we would have to know how much each TV costs to manufacture. One has to remember that to have employees that can work on aluminium and wood like the employees at B&O can, can't come cheap. The development of these aspects are also costly. B&O TV's are not flawless but they are supposed to be considered as more bespoke than a Loewe. B&O have always had software issues....even the Beosound 3000 range had software problems. If you want a extremely reliable product then B&O isn't for you because they push the boundaries in everything they design and with pushing the boundaries so you increase the risk of failure or issues.

It is a tv after all - just like the Loewe.

MM

.... which makes the 14-40" price look even worse.

You're right MM.
