BeoLab 3 for sale (US version, 110V) - in London but I will ship to USA for free
in For Sale · Oct 23, 2011 18:56I have recently relocated to the UK (London) from the US (New York) and have a pair of black BeoLab 3s for sale. I had hoped they would work without a converter but unfortunately I hadn't done my homework (luckily my BL9…
Searching for a sustainable niche
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Nov 18, 2008 21:30I hate being a B&O-basher but the BS5 in my view confirms that B&O is on the wrong track. Don't get me wrong - it looks great and no doubt has a superior interface to my current iMac/AppleTV set-up. But why on earth woul…
Philips prestigo universal remote
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 20, 2007 23:19http://www.prestigo.philips.com/en/gb/Overview.html As far as I can tell this should also work with the B&O range. IMHO quite a pretty remote and costs ca. 15% of the Beo5.
Plasma v lcd
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 19, 2007 04:50This is clearly off topic (plasma vs lcd) but I think the David Lewis discussion is interesting. In my view, B&O has deliberately increased the profile of Mr Lewis in the last couple of years. This is good branding and i…
Plasma v lcd
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 17, 2007 15:45When I was a kid in the 1970s, CRT colour TVs were about as expensive as today's high end LCDs or low-end plasma TVs (relative to people's income that is). In those days, when a TV broke, we would replace the CRT. Can BV…
Starting a new B&O collection - what should I get?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 16, 2007 12:53With BL9s, would the BL2 make a huge difference? I'm not keen on the BL2's looks and would prefer to not have one of those in my house.
Plasma v lcd
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 16, 2007 10:10I'm a little bit confused. Are there two versions of the BV9, a 1080 and a HD? Or have I completely missed the point?
Starting a new B&O collection - what should I get?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 15, 2007 19:34Thanks - I agree with the black vs silver comment I'm not too bothered about the absence of a dvd. I don't have an extensive DVD collection and what I have can be put on the Mac with easy access via Apple TV. Furthermore…

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 15, 2007 19:03@355f - So would you wait and buy a BV9 later in the year?
Starting a new B&O collection - what should I get?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 15, 2007 18:58I'm a very lucky person. I'm moving to NY and I'm about to start my B&O collection completely from scratch. I use Mac for home IT and have all of my music on iTunes. My entertainment needs are primarily for two rooms: of…
iPod Touch
in Beo-Mac · Oct 7, 2007 20:39Remote Buddy is indeed even more impressive. However, it seems a lot less stable than Signal. Do you also have stability issues (RB freezing)?
iPod Touch
in Beo-Mac · Oct 6, 2007 20:08and btw, the iPod Touch is amazing. I've had it for three days now and loving it. The internet browser is surprisingly useful.
iPod Touch
in Beo-Mac · Oct 6, 2007 20:06Thanks for the Signal link - just what I've been looking for. I'd hoped that Apple would introduce this functionality but until they do, this is a great compromise. It almost takes iTunes into a Sonos-like set-up... almo…
iPod Touch
in Beo-Mac · Sept 5, 2007 18:35I was hugely impressed and I'm definitely getting one. 16gb is not ideal but 32gb is just not realistic at the moment (using flash that is). No doubt I'll upgrade in less than 12 months but (1) it's only £230 which will …
US Pricelist
in North America · Sept 3, 2007 18:08Thanks for the reply but what a bummer. Assuming sales tax comes on top and they're slightly more expensive in the US than in the UK.
B&O in New York
in North America · Sept 2, 2007 18:23Moving to New York (from the UK) in a month or so. I won't be replacing all of my current B&O line-up but will definitely pick up a couple of items, including speakers etc. Any recommendations shop-wise (I gather there a…
