BeoLab 5 - design up to date?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 13, 2009 10:02I personally have to say that I liked the design from the beginning, the cone shape with the flying saucers on top always reminds me of some kind of "laser-cannon" from Star Trek. And when I read that the design is from …

Have B&O gone mad with their prices?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 31, 2008 06:49DoubleU: For your bedroom, buy a Harmony One. Program a macro-code. (easy software) Touch the screen en watch.😕 Is a Logitech Harmony in the box? No, but when I buy a BV 7 I get a Beo 4 or 5. Also: Why should I buy an u…
Have B&O gone mad with their prices?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 30, 2008 16:19I think a big part of the premium they charge is due to the integration. I have a very good AV-Sytem in my bedroom: Sony TV, NAD Amp, Kef speakers; but why do I watch my DVDs in the living room on the Beovision 7-40? How…
Embarrasing, but essential.
in Music & Film · Dec 29, 2008 17:49Beobird: Trentemöller, it's very strange music, but it sounds very beautifull on my system and I like the special effects 😐 That's not embarrasing! The only embarrasing music I listen to is MGMT, but I like it...

in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 10, 2008 12:51Hopefully this is not a real picture, looks awful in yellow!
What is this? - guess and you can win an Artphoto done by me!

in Beo5 & Beo6 · Oct 4, 2008 10:01Peter : It rather depends on the quality. A WAV file should sound as good as the source. An MP3 or AAC is dependent on the compression and indeed the encoder. I have experimented quite a bit with this and would find it t…

in Beo5 & Beo6 · Oct 4, 2008 09:45It is indeed a difference if you listen to a CD with a B&O player and compare that to a normal MP3, but you don't hear a difference between MP3 (or AAC) and WAV with a digital music device (PC, iPod, Beosound 2...).

in Beo5 & Beo6 · Oct 4, 2008 07:27Looks quite nice, but I think you have to see it in the flesh. I suppose you can remove it from the stand, because this teaser with the cloth showed that thing without the second ring lying on a table or some other flat …
Most beautiful B&O TV ever !
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 1, 2008 12:09Over all Beovision 7-40, the old CRT's were better designed, but not so beautiful because of their thickness. For CRT's I would choose Beocenter 1, the most amazing looking CRT ever!
A8s - not about fakes, but an observation.
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 1, 2008 12:04That's normal! Every speaker or headphone get's worn in. Listen to them everyday for 2 weeks and they'll sound MUCH better. Same with the sliding, it get's easier if You've used them for a while.

Ideas for non B&O 4ohm speakers (minimum 150 watts) suitable for a BeoMaster 8000
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 24, 2008 12:54I have KEF iQ9 speakers since about 2 months and they sound very good. The design is not amazing, but for 1500€ they're great. I use them with an old Braun atelier R4 amp.
New products 2008/09
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 15, 2008 06:45I think if a part of the production is moved to china, it's OK, but only as long as they keep assembling the TV's and stereos in Denmark. Nobody can tell me that a case of a TV produced in china is as good as one produce…
How to tune A8 Earphones
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 12, 2008 16:17Hi, I just found this on Head-Fi: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/bang-olufsen-a8-mod-343057/ Maybe someone remembers, I had problems with having almost no Bass when listening to my A8's. I have very narrow ear canals…
