in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 1, 2011 12:37Can't say I 'buy' B&O as such But, I've owned a fair few over the years. My first was a Beomaster 1400 with Beovox 1702 that I got at a jumble sale (mentioned in another thread) for £3 each. The Beomaster wasn't working …

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 31, 2010 11:53It does seem though, that there is a general agreement that maybe B&O should have thought beyond the 'dock' because, as has been noted by several people - do you really want to leave your iPhone ringing away up there, or…

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 31, 2010 07:41[quote user="Doctor"] I also confess to seeing less point in an iPod dock now as I would prefer to stream music wirelessly from the iPod so that it was to hand rather than on the other side of the room. This would also a…

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 31, 2010 03:33(back to the subject - Beosound 8) Yes tomaz, very nice details. It sort of reminds me of the Beomaster 1200 I had - solid brushed aluminium. (I paid £3 for it at a jumble sale and another £3 for a pair of Beovox 1702s) …

in LifeStyle Discussion · Dec 30, 2010 11:25Hey, Lee you've hit on two I've had to hit on the head more than a few times. When I was a lecturer (design) I had, on many occasions, to correct student written work for using "text speak" . And, as for 'BRAINSTORMING' …
Annoying word of 2010
in LifeStyle Discussion · Dec 30, 2010 07:51I thought I'd throw this one in! Do you have a pet hate word that has been doing the rounds in 2010? I do: "Absolutely" It is the most absurd, overused and mis-used word I've heard in a long time. 😭 A simple "Yes" would…

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 30, 2010 03:03Nice solution and rendering, Tomaz. As it's a plan view I cannot see if the speakers are raised or flush with the central bar. I suggested they should be flush (or almost flush). This looks like it should be wall-mounted…

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 28, 2010 12:28Interesting responses! I am a minimalist when it comes to design. But minimalism still requires a degree of aesthetic 'flow' (unless you are from the school of Memphis). B&O have been masters of the design process, produ…
