BL5 - digital and analog input/source
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 29, 2011 11:55Question 4: There's no need to go up to 192k, there is virtually no pre-recorded 192k material out there. I tend to record at 88.2k in the studio, but even this rarely gets distributed, it's normally crunched down to 44.…

Beomaster 4400 - slowly developing issues!
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 12, 2011 14:22Well obviously I trust your advice greatly Dillen, thanks for the reply. I was thinking a re-cap would be in order anyway just for the sonics. What sort of cost would I be looking at for a set of good-quality caps for th…

Beomaster 4400 - slowly developing issues!
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 9, 2011 17:12Hey All, My Beomaster 4400 is slowly developing issues. Firstly, the volume fader is a little uneven around the 3-4 mark (jumps up and down by a considerable amount). Secondly, I'm hearing 'rumble' when firing up the amp…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 29, 2011 07:10[quote user="Electrified"] I think I'm simply not getting it. I have techno lust as much as most people, and I'd love to have the Alt lenses in my car, but I really don't see the point of moving alt lenses in my home. In…
BV6-26 or BV8-26 at same price: Which one to take?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 27, 2011 12:34The 8-26 and 8-32 are a completely different TV to the 8-40. Let's not go into details but I would rather take the 6-26 and run it in standard definition than run an 8-26 or 32 with HD (having seen both sets side-by-side…
Beosound 9000 discontinued,,,,,
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 17, 2011 19:38[quote user="alenvprekrsku"] What is wrong with FLAC? [/quote] I can't sync it with my iPhone or Apple TV (it won't even play or load up in iTunes), and there seem to be no bits of software which work as well with taggin…
Beosound 9000 discontinued,,,,,
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 17, 2011 03:20I understand why B&O have done this, but what is worrying is that this leaves a lot of the B&O customers no option but to listen to MP3 through their systems (BeoSound 5 still doesn't support Apple Lossless). MP3 is not …
DAC's used in in B&O products
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 9, 2011 04:41[quote user="Evan"] [quote user="alenvprekrsku"]32/192[/quote] 24 bit / 192khz seem to be the current standard so 32 bit / 192khz must be better...? [/quote] Kinda irrelavent - those extra 8 bits will just give you an ex…
Beolab 5 disappointed
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 5, 2011 15:33Hmm, a sudden drop-off below 400 Hz? This would suggest something to do with the calibration system, which I believe functions up-to around 400 Hz. Very strange! The difference in the measurements between the polarity-fl…
What's better?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 24, 2011 20:00[quote user="folkdeejay"] There are certainly some speakers that present sound in such a way that they will typically sound very good when genre XXX is played through them, but they will struggle with other things, so th…
BL4 make sense?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 11, 2011 16:16I wouldn't think of adding BeoLab 4s when using a BeoLab 7 as a centre channel. The BeoLab 7 is quite simply a vastly superior speaker in every way (except size and price). BeoLab 4000s are more like it, but 4s? Absolute…
Beolab 9 vs B&W 802d - 805d
in General Discussion & Questions · May 2, 2011 04:48[quote user="Beoboiinoz"] I'd generally agree. This is an interesting thread to follow, as whilst I've been a B&W fan for many years, I've also become a fan of B&O's ALT speakers in particular - the Lab 3's, 9's, and of …

Beolab 9 vs B&W 802d - 805d
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 29, 2011 21:29[quote user="DirtyDiana"] The problem with the B&W is that you will probably never have enough power (huge boat anchor power amp's!!) to drive them to deliver timing and dynamics like the BL9. [/quote] The B&Ws are overa…
Beolab 9 vs B&W 802d - 805d
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 29, 2011 12:22The BeoLab 9 is not DSP based, the crossovers involved are fairly straightforward/conventional for an active speaker, although they do include some dynamic EQing depending I believe. There is not time alignment going on,…
Beolab 4000 vs Beolab 7-1
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 28, 2011 19:01Yes, I prefer the 7-1 from a tonal point of view, but the 4000 allows you to get a proper stereo image which is far more important to me. The 7-1 is far too small to give you a proper stereo field. The 7-1 is more detail…
BeoVox 2 Official
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 28, 2011 19:00Interesting - it looks as though they've included some sort of variable baffle-step compensation inside the crossover according to the blurb on the website!
