Out of date so quick
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 8, 2012 13:36I just realized the most "out of date" aspect with some of the new B&O products: they do not link with the ML! Right out of the box, these new products cannot connect or itegrate with other B&O products. So the new produ…

ipad2
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 3, 2012 16:11We use the AppleTV2 to connect the iPad2 through Airplay. It works very well for the television (Avant) and it also puts the audio through the ML. It is very easy to set up and use, and you do do not need to use any cabl…

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 22, 2011 10:15The Form 2 does not block out the ambient noise of the aircraft, and I do not like the muffled sound or quality of the build from the Bose product. I went with the Bowers and Wilkins P5 headphone and I am very pleased. E…
