9 to 5
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 27, 2011 04:02Very nice analogy Lee, I went from 9's to 5's and never looked back, the difference to me is mind blowing. I then put my 9's as rears and after about 6 months I thought what would 5's sound like as rears too. Well I got …

Wife doesn't like BeoLab 9s
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 8, 2011 14:47The base ring can be removed and is rather heavy. The rest of the unit is a solid unit not really designed to be taken apart for transport.
Wife doesn't like BeoLab 9s
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 6, 2011 23:11Keep an eye out for second hand BeoLab 5's. Look impressive! Sound impressive! Will be worked in and cheaper than new BL5's and slightly more expensive than new BL9's.
Any questions for the new CEO ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 2, 2011 17:571.) Is there a future for B&O with integrated media Apps in their T.V systems? 2.) 3D, does he see it as fad or future? 3.) David Lewis design, Is it a case of: "If it aint broke don't fix it" or "a bit long in the tooth…
Beolab 5 disappointed
in General Discussion & Questions · May 30, 2011 18:24[quote user="soundproof"] I suspect we're dealing with a case of the audiomaster "not having been told" what it's connected to, or otherwise having been set up wrong. [/quote] I feel the same. Many factors in dealing wit…
Beolab 5 disappointed
in General Discussion & Questions · May 29, 2011 15:22I highly recommend trying them at various dealers before parting with that amount of money. The dealer should be doing everything he/she can to convince you that the BL5's are worth every penny. Product knowledge is a mu…

in General Discussion & Questions · May 20, 2011 06:17Yes, I understand the fundamental difference but it's much the same thing. An entire car stereo is more than just a part. McLaren's entire engine is made by Riccardo, that's more than just a part. Sure it's one part of t…

in General Discussion & Questions · May 17, 2011 04:05[quote user="didole"] [quote user="Jez"] I'm of the same opinion to an extent. Parts made elsewhere sure. As a flagship brand though it's a little borderline. Would you buy a Ferrari if it was designed in Italy but made …

in General Discussion & Questions · May 16, 2011 15:33[quote user="Heribert"] Actually I do not really care if B&O products are build in Denmark or in czech republic as long as they are of good quality and are B&O. In Dk labor costs are at least 3times higher then in CZ, so…

in General Discussion & Questions · May 15, 2011 15:18Personally as I already have a full B&O AV system in the livingroom and bedroom, all I want from B&O is a pair of proper headphones like a Sennheiser or Dr Dre Beats. Both these brands offer great sound but the built qua…
iPad to control Mini?
in Beo-Mac · May 8, 2011 17:20I have the App "Rowmote Pro" that works perfectly, you can see it in use on youtube before you purchase. However I must say that for everyday use I still prefer just to use my Beo5 to control my mini. Simply press the mi…
