Where is BeoSound8 made?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 23, 2010 04:26I think folk are missing the fundamental issue here.Place of manufacture doesn't concern me per se.Paying the B&O tax on a unit that has been outsourced to reduce costs does. It's a super high priced iPod dock/speaker un…
Where is BeoSound8 made?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 20, 2010 14:57Been saying all along its overpriced.Most buyers probably won't realise until they unpack the box at home. No offence intended,but a large percentage of the B&O customers i have witnessed in stores are fairly ignorant in…
My new Beosound 8 (white) just arrived - Pics inside...
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 19, 2010 05:32I too was somewhat underwhelmed with the 8s sonic abilities. Downloads sounded pretty terrible,but that's hardly surprising. Overall it was quite a middle of the road sound signature.Certainly compared to my current stop…

Beosound 8 in Apple Store
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 17, 2010 07:28I do think the UK price should be lower,esp if it is effectively available cheaper in other countries! Most initial orders will be from the converted.Success of the product will be down to drawing in potential new B&O cu…
Beosound 8 in Apple Store
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 17, 2010 04:26Are you absolutely sure that the U.S. price doesn't include taxes? No indication when adding it to the cart that there are additional taxes to be paid... Trying to figure out if there is price parity compared to the U.K.…
Austerity measures!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 2, 2010 09:40Following on from Lee's comments,the thing that cracks me up/annoys the hell outta me is TE constantly saying "We".."Us"..."Our" when talking about the brand. Wake up dude,you're not on the BnO payroll,you just sell the …
Apple TV which generation should I buy 1 & 2 ?
in Beo-Mac · Nov 25, 2010 08:50Airtunes on the ATV1 is as you say.But it is not Airplay,which you said it has. Airplay functionality will let you stream from a handheld device.You cannot do this with ATV1 as it has Airtunes and not Airplay.Big differe…
Apple TV which generation should I buy 1 & 2 ?
in Beo-Mac · Nov 25, 2010 08:17Apple TV1 doesn't have Airplay it has Airtunes,which is different. Sure it can stream from your Mac,but the Airplay icon isn't accessible on an iPhone with 4.2.1 update.So you can't stream from the Phone/Touch. Airtunes …
Apple TV which generation should I buy 1 & 2 ?
in Beo-Mac · Nov 24, 2010 11:33Gen 1 isn't going to be updated,as far as I'm aware.Therefor no Airplay. I have the 1 and like the idea of local storage.But will probably get a Mk 2 shortly. Although I may get a Mac Mini instead.I'll probably wait for …
Apple's "AirPlay" and B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 23, 2010 12:28One could argue this falls into the too little too late category. They seem to be 5 plus years behind the curve. Lets hope we are in for a period of change.
Apple's "AirPlay" and B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 23, 2010 10:11B&O really do need a shake up. Their insular attitude will be their ultimate downfall.I just don't think they will be around in 5 years time... They just don't seem to understand that Mac-centric owners are a large perce…
The BeoSound 8 - Live Review!!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 20, 2010 10:02Airport Express is an unsatisfactory workaround to those who want an integrated solution.That's all there is to it. Can't imagine Airplay not taking off.Not sure I follow your logic of a unit containing a theoretically r…
The BeoSound 8 - Live Review!!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 20, 2010 04:25Wow indeed....it's not that long ago that Beolab 8000s and 3's cost less than the current price of the 6000s!!! *shakes head and waves fist at B&O arrogant price increases when all around are lowering theirs* Anyway,look…
BeoSound 8 Delays ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 15, 2010 07:56They are too busy working on the Mk2 revisions before dealers get stuck with unsellable Mk1s... Hopefully not part of some rumour-hype to artificially inflate demand.Nothing worse than an insult to one's [limited] intell…
The BeoSound 8 - Live Review!!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 12, 2010 04:42I like the design.Possibly even more so when I see it in the flesh.Love the little adjustable dock rest pad thing. Did find the youtube presentation agonising to watch! Particularly their "solution" to the lack of Airpla…
Beosound 8: Let´s talk about AIRPLAY!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 10, 2010 11:22Alex,people want an integrated solution. Minimal mains leads. Minimal cables. Not having to rely on a third party device [AE] to distribute content via a network. I have an Airport Express and it limits where I can place…
Beosound 8: Let´s talk about AIRPLAY!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 10, 2010 08:50to xegoon- no Airplay will cost them sales and referred sales. FACT! As will the price. I'd buy one and recommend to many others [who would do likewise] if it had these bases covered. As it is I'll probably get an altern…
