BeoLab 9 - where is the midrange, too much tweeter!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 15, 2010 12:39I have popped back to the site just to contribute to this item. I don't think they are faulty Dave. When the 9's first came out I went into my local B&O shop to audition them. My question to the salesman was "Where is th…
Bang & Olufsen Cuts Profit Outlook
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 15, 2008 05:22I tend to agree with Lee on this one and I am not sure that cutting prices is the answer. I can only help the conversation by mentioning again some of the things that I have mentioned before. The introduction of flat scr…
Non-B&O Sub-woofer
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 6, 2008 12:17Oh No! Not another Non-B&O sub question? Not at all! I am just popping back to the site to provide some useful info on my selection of a non B&O sub. I am not saying that its the best in the world but it has a nice sound…
How to move from all B&O to some B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 24, 2008 06:38joeyboygolf Don't understand your comments at all! However I will not try and convince you of my argument any more. Two small points though. One is repetition -- ALL my a-v equipment is B&O not just some of it and if I c…
How to move from all B&O to some B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 24, 2008 04:32Soundproof, Thanks for your comments. I will print you message out so that I can reflect on what you have said more seriously. I think what drew me to the arcam is twofold (a) I have owned it in the past (along with quad…
How to move from all B&O to some B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 24, 2008 04:23joeyboygolf: My personal thoughts on this matter are,thus. If you want to go, go now. Don't keep bleating about it. I don't see the point! I am surprised at this statement. I wasn't bleating --am not bleating but was sim…
How to move from all B&O to some B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 23, 2008 14:07Yes is the simple answer to that statement. However the reason why is because (for whatever reason whether it be misunderstanding or otherwise) I came away from ordering my BV6-26 in 2005 with the understanding that it c…
How to move from all B&O to some B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 23, 2008 06:57That was certainly my motivation for the change but I want it to be evolutionary rather than revolutionary which isn't always easy.
Beolab 3500
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 23, 2008 06:55When they installed mine in 1999 when it was used in connection with a BC2300 they installed a converter. I didn't ask any questions at the time but they went from Aux on the 2300 to the converter and then Masterlink fro…
How to move from all B&O to some B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 23, 2008 04:43I am an all B&O household and have been for ten years odd now. So the world of RCA connector etc are a stranger to me. My de-beofication thread stated my objective which is to move slowly away from B&O and I have given i…
Lifestyle AV - Fantastic Service
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 23, 2008 04:37Can I say that I have been very critical of B&O recently to the point where I don't want to deal with them anymore. The shining star in the B&O framework is Lifestyle-av though and as I have said before if dealers had ha…
BV9+Playstation3+Beo5 = works perfect
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 20, 2008 08:19The problem with waiting for the HD TV before you get the HD player is that you have to buy both at the same time. Getting one at a time enables you to get what you want which may be constrained with a double purchase. D…
BV9+Playstation3+Beo5 = works perfect
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 20, 2008 06:30Because I am not a gamer I have had no interest in the PS3. However now I am looking for a blu-ray player that has flexible outputs so that I can continue to use scart connection to my non-HD BV6-26. This would enable me…
Connecting a B&W PV1 subwoofer to a PowerLink socket
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 18, 2008 12:34js, I have been looking at this very point and whilst I don't know the answer I have a suggestion which Peter or Alex could shoot down. If you don't want to have the hassle of soldering etc then I would suggest a 5pin to…
BV6-26 & HD
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 17, 2008 04:37I have dealt with them for eight years or so and have been content with their service until recently. I was even content when I bought this lcd. The point you make is a very good one but concerning when you spend your mo…
De-beofication
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 16, 2008 09:33Thanks Alex, Peter and Coolskin for some useful contributions. Alex I think you may be right and change maybe coming but its all based on hope rather than evidence. Launching "up to date" LCD's with no digital tuner and …
BV6-26 & HD
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 16, 2008 09:18Yes I can truly understand the spirit of your e-mail. I am sure that my dealer would have a different view and am open minded enough to freely acknowledge that. However I came away (mistaken--misunderstood or otherwise) …
De-beofication
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 15, 2008 12:28To all, Following my previous e-mails on BV6-26 and HD I have had taken time to reflect and yet decided that B&O is no longer for me. It is my opinion that they are exploiting the consumer surplus to such a degree that i…
BV6-26 & HD
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 13, 2008 06:27Zwets has sent me a copy of a document which makes the situation clearer. According to what I see you cannot guarantee having an HD ready 6-26 until January 2006. There are a few months before that when you have an incre…
BV6-26 & HD
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 12, 2008 06:39I am not sure that anyone should say that you do not need an HD picture on a 26". Beobirds comments coincide with my experience here. If its <1.5 metres then it may be worth having and in consequence should be provided. …
