Recommend me a 5.1 used setup
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 17, 2026 17:51I have a media room / bar / lounge set up with BL8000's in front, BL7-2 as a center, BL6000's in the rear, with a BL2 sub. It's all powered by an older Beosystem 3 and connected to a BS9000. As I'm all in the B&O ecosyst…
BL18 End of Life
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 6, 2026 21:51I noticed today on the B&O website that the Beolab 18's have been removed and when I searched for them I found the note saying they are end of life. Surprised to see this, given I thought they were rather popular, and th…
Advice for adding a turntable
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 18, 2025 04:34I’ve been tempted by a B&O turntable for ages but never really got educated on all the different models, and was hoping someone had a good primer for what models to consider, and which ones to avoid. As much as I would l…
Rear Speaker Opinions?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 12, 2025 17:03I can't do a direct comparison, but I recently switched to a Theatre from an Avant 75. I had 18's in the front and Passives driving rear speakers. I moved things around and now have the 18's for rear speakers and put 8's…

Beolab connected to WISA and Powerlink
in General Discussion & Questions · May 13, 2025 16:51Related but different question. Can you have two Beolab 8's (1) stereo paired for music sources, and (2) WISA connected to a Beovision for TV sources? I don't want to wire anything. I think the answer is no, but maybe so…

Hum and buzz on BL3s to Theatre
in BeoLab · Sept 24, 2024 20:34Reviving an old thread… Is there any way to eliminate the buzz, assuming that Cat cables were used, and it’s not an option to run new cabling? I’m getting a constant buzz in this scenario: Beosystem 3 (in a media closet)…
Beosound Stage is turning my LG A1 Oled on every night around 2.30am.......
in BeoSound · Sept 15, 2024 21:52I’ve had the random turning on event with my LG connected to a Stage. It has only happened 3-4 times in the 18 months we’ve had them, and doesn’t follow any pattern.
1x beolab 8 vs 1 beosound 2
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 15, 2024 21:50I think it depends on where you will place the speaker. The Beosound 2 is very versatile since the sound is dispersed 360 degrees. I can put it in the middle of the room and works great. The Beolab 8 is also great sound,…
Wireless PL with Beolab 8
in BeoLab · Aug 23, 2024 18:10Changed cables to CAT8 shielded and reset the speakers, and now they work with the TV. Now, to figure out where to put them since I hadn't planned on having to hard wire them...
Beovision Avant 75 NG only Green dot light
in BeoVision · Aug 19, 2024 15:09Have you tried connecting via the app? My Avant NG will sometimes "freeze" with the green light and do nothing. I go into the app and put everything into standby, and that usually triggers it to turn off, then it works o…
Wireless PL with Beolab 8
in BeoLab · Aug 19, 2024 14:40Thanks, didn't realize the WISA versions were a mismatch. Especially strange when it shows connected, appears as Beolab 8 in the speaker connections as Wireless PL, and plays the "noise". Maybe more so disappointing that…
Wireless PL with Beolab 8
in BeoLab · Jul 30, 2024 04:50Still trying here… I picked up a second BL8. Same issue with the Avant NG. I even tried hardwiring into PL for the speakers and get the same results. I can see the speaker connected as wireless, it makes the “noise” duri…
Wireless PL with Beolab 8
in BeoLab · Jan 18, 2024 21:52As a follow up, I haven't figured out the connection of the BL8, but... I did do a lot of experimenting with the different settings / speaker groups / etc. All this left me even more perplexed. I also grabbed my Beolab 2…
Wireless PL with Beolab 8
in BeoLab · Jan 9, 2024 07:56I bought a BL8 (single) and very impressed with it so far. I'm considering buying a second to use with my TV setup, but having trouble testing it as a wireless PL speaker. Current setup is Avant NG, BL18's in front (WISA…
Beosound stage
in BeoSound · Apr 26, 2022 19:43I bought that combo in January and am really pleased with the solution. The TV has an amazing picture and the sound works well for us in a room that's approx 3m x 4m. Watching Amazon, Apple TV, Netflix, etc is seamless. …
Further BeoWorld / Bang & Olufsen Collaboration - Please Read!
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 2, 2021 23:09[quote user="seethroughyou"] Hope B&O aren’t over stressing the importance of outdoor music. It’s the least important to people’s lives. [/quote] Maybe it depends on where you live. With being in a warm climate, we spend…
BV Avant NG: no hdmi signal
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 23, 2021 22:23As suggested, make sure the appletv isn’t sleeping. Every time I start up I get the no signal display until I wake up the box.
alternative to essence/core?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 14, 2021 05:27I don’t know about Core alternatives, but I do have one hooked up to a Sonance amp and speaker system for the backyard. It works great and the amp gets triggered by the input. Sound is impressive, too. I’m also not famil…
