in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 9, 2012 06:11Dkatz, sorry, but I don't read your rehashed points. Hope I didn't miss anything of substance. Ever notice that most HBR and Sloan business articles are merely trailers for books that simply rehash the core points from t…

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 8, 2012 21:36@John. Great summary and question. The answer is Asian. RR is German, and they were smart not to call it a 9-Series. Pull the German bits out and you have a couch. So is Mini. Chrysler is Italian. I am impressed with the…
MacMini into a Beosound 8 - How feasible?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 8, 2012 16:48USB sound should (could) be better, and the the BS8 will sense the USB input. You could then use the "remote" app on an iThing to control the music and offer feedback on what is playing.

Beosound 5 Encore is here...
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 2, 2012 09:56I don't know how good/bad the Encore "processor" is, but network throughput is a limiting factor the BS5/BM5 combo probably doesn't experience. WiFi would be a bigger issue than direct connection. Given that, I don't und…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 28, 2012 17:06@Bentleyman That wouldn't be ironic, now would it. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't go to BeoWorld for lengthy musings on social systems or global economics. I am, and we all should be, very happy for the craftspe…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 28, 2012 08:20@Dkatz, I admire your intellect and ability to argue points ad infinitum. Your response to my tongue-in-cheek (and accurate) comment was not without substance, though a tad simplistic and naive. That's cool, it fits my m…

Beo6 Configuration tool.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 26, 2012 18:03I think I had a similar problem. Running XP on my service computer. After saving the configuration, shutting the tool down completely and restarting, I was able to get profiles to load. Hope this helps.

BeoSound 5 Encore - Airplay in the future?

Beo Play
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 12, 2012 20:11[quote user="Tod Daniel"] I totally agree with Paul. It's so expensive and definately not 'from the heart' purchase. I looked at the designer's portfolio of work and didn't like what I saw. There are thousands of young, …
