The Audiophile & B&O

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 21, 2012 08:38Oh, and furthermore, When setting up the speaker configurations on the processor, you would set the lab 5s to "large" and the lab 3s to "small". You would select "none" for center and subwoofer. The phantom center channe…

Beolab 5 with Marantz AV7005 - balanced out connection possible?
in The Workbench · Sept 13, 2011 07:38It might be possible but you need to see what the voltage output of the Marantz balanced outs are. If more than I think 2.5, you have to make adjustments on the lab 5s.

Trade brandnew combo BL8002/BL2 for BL9 ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 12, 2011 08:03Agree with above. Hold out, save your money and get the lab 5s. I have them and will never look back. I don't necessarily think your room is too small and the 5s adjust and adapt their output anyway.
Talk me into/out of buying BS5
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 7, 2010 16:42If I had a chance back when I bought my BL5, I would likely have purchased the BS5 to go with them. It is a beautiful unit in sight and touch. Wasn't out yet. As it is, I have my lab 5 connected directly via dig coax to …

in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 2, 2010 14:13Just wanted to provide an update. I ended up replacing the pro-ject turntable with a VPI classic with a Benz Micro Glider cartridge. I kept the bellari tube preamplifier and have that running to the BS 9000 Aux. The soun…
SONOS multi-room audio
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 12, 2010 20:11I'm sure I wouldn't be able to tell difference. The built in dac of the sonos is fine. I mainly got the benchmark because it also has a built in high quality headphone amp for late night listening.
SONOS multi-room audio
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 12, 2010 18:23I have multiple sonos zones in my house connected to B&O. The nice thing about the zonos non amplified units is that you can output a pure, unaltered digital signal. I have one sonos outputting via digital coax to my lab…
Why do people put down B&O sound
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 13, 2010 07:32You can't listen to the idiot "audiophile" world re B&O. They'll put down B&O, which has some of the most advanced acoustic R&D on the planet and a long and successful history, as being expensive toys for rich fools. At …
Beolab 5s playing Vinyl?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 10, 2010 19:30I just bought a TT 2 days ago with a tubed phono preamp. Running that into my BS9000 and then to the lab 5s. I got the pro-ject genie 3 which is a really slick looking TT with a Bellari tubed phono preamp that has a USB …
Flash your B&O!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 3, 2010 19:09Thanks Stars I wish I could hide the cables better but that would mean a lot of drilling. I'm listening to the lab3s right now. Love these speakers and taking the bass out of the picture, they compare very favorably to t…

How to save Bang & Olufsen
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 17, 2010 11:25I can only speak for the USA. People here don't have stereos anymore. They have and want "home theaters". The 2 channel HiFi is now a niche market with A/V integration and surround sound being the desired market. Now I a…
BeoLab 4000's + BeoLab 2 or BeoLab 3
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 20, 2009 16:58I compared the 4000s to the lab 3s for my kitchen setup. I really liked the sound from both speakers, but I think the 3s handle bass a little better. I'm a huge fan of the acoustic lens, though, and that's what really so…
