The remote is very easy to use, but I miss the weight of the Beolink 1000/Beo4.

The only thing I don´t like is the sharp unpolished surface round the small hole on the backside. This is where you press a small pin to open the remote for battery change (like a sim card on an iPhone). If you drag your fingers on the backside of the remote you feel this. I know there a bigger problems in the world, but they could have polished it one more time after drilling the hole.

Went to a different B&O shop and yes you are right.  There is a distinct feel to where the hole is - I would not say it was "sharp" just "distinct" and I agree, a pity.

Also that store said the additional remote is "satin" (now I remember the first store said "satin" too - not "silk") - I have no idea what that a satin finish might be .... except no distinct sharpness on the rear ?

🙂

And my dealers are still saying they can not just order it 😭

Still I might as well wait to see what the other flavours are like !

Correct, distinct is a better word for the hole.

No, he will call me. I suppose it will be by the end of next week, otherwise he would told me. I for sure drop a line on the forum when it arrives.

Sounds great! 🙂

Could you PM me your dealer's contact info? I could try to get the BeoRemote One from him, if the Finnish dealers still cannot deliver it... 😮

I too would be happy to place an order via Chris !

😁

Where's the Little Dutch Boy's finger when you need it?

Unfortunately my two week old avant is going back white dust all around the edges🙁 Lead time until August

The magnet on the end slats of the 18s are coming off so also need to be replaced unfortunately😉

Was this dust there all the time or did it come by time?

Hi Michael don't know really but first time under daytime I can clearly see them

I don't share that issue with my 18s, but B&O are worrying me with these manufacturing problems.

I'm half-tempted to tell my dealer on Monday to put my revised Avant on hold.

Don't ask me! I'm not B&O :) I'm just passing on the fix and info from my dealer.

 

They have made some minor chassis changes, I hear, to prevent over-heating (the Avant gets too warm, which is a reason for bonding issues). I might be wrong (covering my back here), but that's what I was told.

 

Maybe my Avant will be a 'MK2' after all ;)

 

 

 

It seems true! My avant gets REALLY hot. I can't believe how hot it gets but I hope they will fix it.

Where gets it hot?

I suppose it will be by the end of next week! But I call him monday morning to be sure of it. He told me the day at the Avant presentation it would be available in June, so I ordered last week and he did not mention it would took long to deliver.  If so, I would be happy to help you to get one.
