Beosound 9000 end of life...
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 8, 2011 15:04Well, it has finally happened, the end is near for what has been IMHO, the MOST iconic B&O product ever made. I just received an email from one of the local B&O dealers saying I had better order fast because in a few mon…
Most beautiful B&O speaker ever built
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 22, 2011 07:08My opinion: Beolab 8000, and the Beolab 5's. the 8000 is surely an iconic design, but the BL5s are sure to head that way as well.
Beovision 10-32 on its way !?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 20, 2010 12:19[quote user="jk1002"] >>The BV10-32 will take the place of the BeoVision/Center 6 series for link rooms.<< That is a bit of a pity. The design of the BV6 is very different then from the BV10. Try placing the BV10 on a sh…
B & O 3D TV
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 6, 2010 11:41I think we ought to be fair to B&O in this day and age for being behind the times (though frustrating). Technological progress is at a pace which is much more difficult to keep up with. I think 10 years ago, it was a key…
B&O Price rise again?!
in General Discussion & Questions · May 19, 2010 15:37[quote user="BenSA"] B&O owned by Apple......I don't see how that would be progress for the B&O brand?? Apple is for the mass market, B&O isn't!! B&O has always been very expensive and for the rich....[redacted] Bottom l…
B&O Price rise again?!
in General Discussion & Questions · May 19, 2010 14:32[quote user="burantek"] Sal, You got it! It is coming... FWIW, Apple actually did a STB before as some may remember. I used to collect Apple products and this was sort of a holy grail -sold it years ago for ridiculous $!…
B&O Price rise again?!
in General Discussion & Questions · May 19, 2010 13:51[quote user="timhanna"] [quote user="burantek"] [quote user="Hungedu"]Please Apple, come to our rescue and buy B&O![/quote] Hold that thought... for a cold beer I shall predict that 2-3 years from now... you will see App…
B&O Price rise again?!
in General Discussion & Questions · May 19, 2010 11:24I apologize if this has been mentioned earlier in the thread, but the first thought that came to mind with the prospect of yet another price increase is the question which was asked / has been asked often: Is B&O worth t…
B&O Price rise again?!
in General Discussion & Questions · May 19, 2010 11:10[quote user="timhanna"] Plus I'm not sure that I'd like B&O to be sold with other brands too... because its going to be packed, loud and people are going to look at us like we're all snobby etc etc... Just imagine how ma…
B&O Price rise again?!
in General Discussion & Questions · May 19, 2010 10:34Simon mentioned the B&O Dealer network. I am curious how much money B&O could save if they closed their bespoke dealer networks, and began again to be sold at hi-end electronic retailers, yes that would mean trusting B&O…
The worst B&O I'VE ever owned
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 16, 2010 12:23I vote Beo1 (though I have never used one), it just seemed impractical. For those product(s) which I have used: Beolink 5000. Any votes for the DVD1? Sal
IS B&O worth the money???
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 16, 2010 12:19Stan, You're not alone. When the BV8 was released here in the States, I immediately bit the bullet. But unfortunately, I had loads of trouble with it, eventually ending up in a total warranty replacement. We moved into a…
Very familiar with B & O family but never owned. Need advice on best Beomaster.
in North America · Feb 15, 2010 14:50Hi there, welcome to the forums! If you want to enjoy analog / vinyl, you couldn't go wrong with the 6500 thru 7000 series components. Beomaster 6500 / 7000, along with the Beogram 6500 / 7000 linear tracking turntables.…
IS B&O worth the money???
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 15, 2010 14:40I think B&O is definitely worth the money in some areas, and totally audacious in others. IMHO, B&O speakers are absolute wonders of engineering and aesthetics, and they sound GREAT. The ALT speakers especially the Beola…
I will go Mac now! But need some help guys "Macbook's vs. iMac's?"
in Beo-Mac · Jan 4, 2010 11:50One more vote for the MBPro. User serviceable HDD is key, and you get all the ports that the iMac will provide, plus the portability. And you can also choose to operate it in clamshell mode with a monitor (or Beovision) …
New B&O project - some questions before buying
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 22, 2009 13:02My opinions, really quickly, you should consider the Beosound 5 / BM 5 combination, you already use a computer for all your musical needs, just get BS5 / BM5 on the job. As for speakers, I think the Beolab 3 is the best …
Beosound Century
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 30, 2009 11:45Oh, also, Guests can use the BS1 as a speaker for their iPods / other MP3 players as well. Sal
Serenata or the Iphone 3gs?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 30, 2009 08:14Raveny nails it: so what if so many people have it? The iPhone does what it claims to do, and does it elegantly. Do you want functionality, especially for a device which you're going to be handline and being tactile with…
Beosound Century
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 30, 2009 08:07If Archenoah is considering a unit for the guest room (exclusively). I would caution against something with masterlink, or at least getting a unit and connecting it WITH masterlink. I would prefer to have a guest unit un…
