Beolab 9 vs B&W 802d - 805d
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 29, 2011 07:45Hello Alex - It's funny my name is also Alex. Anyway I will like to comment on your view that B&W is more focused on time-domain distortion as compared to Beolabs. If you look at the measurements of Beolab5s you will rea…
BS9000 VS Mac Mini on Beolab 5
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 12, 2010 09:33No idea how the processing is done but the output will be native. There are no adding of bits done when you switch the upsampling off. Anyway any music enthusiast owning itunes owe it to themselves to at least give the s…

$6m Home Setup
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 12, 2010 01:59That set up of his is so cluttered I wonder how he able to set himself in a mood to relax and watch a movie. I mean come on, no one is that impervious to the influence of the aesthetic. For that money, I would go for Gol…
Beolab 11 launched.
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 16, 2010 01:22The woofers i the BL7.1 are pushed to its limits whereas the BL11 less so. Check on the SPL to see which one has a bigger headroom. A bigger headroom means lower distortion at normal listening levels. High end loudspeake…
Time for new amplification
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 20, 2010 20:19It's been a while since the Icepower amplification division has been set up by B&O. They promise of a real digital amp but it has been almost ten years and it is still not out. Now that Zetex semiconductor partnered with…
BeoLab 5 - design up to date?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 11, 2009 23:46What they need is an internal component upgrade and not a design upgrade. Design wise I still love them.
do i lose something if i change bl8000 to bl3 + my system and home photo
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 29, 2009 01:38I just have to say. I love your sense of decorating. Superb! I prefer the Beolab3s look over the Beolab 8000s anytime and I think they are in some way more accurate too. Go for the Beolab 3s!
dont buy beo lab 5 or beovision 9
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 24, 2009 18:19Really? I didn't know that about the Beolab5s. Thought they should be rock solid because they certainly look the part. Well Meridian latest line of speakers with their latest apodizing digital filters installed have won …
Best source for BeoLab5?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 24, 2009 18:07Very unlike B&O's own Beosound 5, most of the HD servers out there works just like a cd player. No complications there. Plus you immediately get album/ track details and artwork once you hook it them up to the internet. …

dont buy beo lab 5 or beovision 9
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 23, 2009 20:27You might have some faulty Beolab 5s there. I suppose you are not hearing much of a bass noise but they are still moving around? My theory is that they are generating very very high levels of subsonic bass wobble which c…
Connecting Beolaps 8000 directly to a DVD Player
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 23, 2009 19:38You can try Linn or Meridian. They sell DVD players with built in sound processing. I noticed a secondhand Linn Unidisk 1.1 for a reasonable price on sale on www.audiogon.com, perhaps that might interest you. With that i…

When will B&O make motorized BeoLabs?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 23, 2009 06:57ALT is not magic. It is a dispersion lens technology that will help improve dispersion and power response. It will not remove distortion or magically improve bad loudspeaker design in any way.
When will B&O make motorized BeoLabs?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 20, 2009 01:14Oh please... Why add superfluous functions when they can't even get the basics right. I would much prefer better speakers drivers.

How hard is Bang & Olufsen hit ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 26, 2009 07:58[quote user="plagente"] APPLE will NEVER buy B&O. Apple's strategy is by far very different from B&O. They have a premium tag on their price, but it is still acceptable for most of them. There's "value for money". B&O do…
