Perspective MC120.2's sound
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 6, 2011 17:03[quote user="chartz"] Funnily enough, even the upper registers seem to have improved (which I know is impossible). 😎 [/quote] Not impossible - at the frequency and slope which those woofers are crossed over, they affect…
BL 8000's vs BL 5's
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 21, 2011 17:42[quote user="Electrified"] [quote user="Jon"] [quote user="Electrified"] The 8000 is a"hybrid" design. It's not a true active. [/quote] Electrified, would you mind clarifying what exactly you mean in saying the BL8000 is…

in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 17, 2011 20:17[quote user="Jonathan"] Hang on, god is a fictitious character.... [/quote] Well, since this is an electronics forum, this isn't the place to argue that. Anyway, believe what you want; you certainly sound like your mind …

in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 16, 2011 06:36Alex, Don't waste your breath. "Electrified" seems to know a fair bit - which, humorously enough, no one is arguing, despite the fact that his replies are always mega-defensive, even when there's nothing to defend. But o…
Free RL140s
in North America · Feb 24, 2011 19:11Haha! Wish I had seen this earlier. I work at night and just got up. Don't have time to drive into LA now. Oh well, hope someone who'll take care of them gets them. Jon
Position switch of BL2
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 21, 2011 18:28At the frequencies the BL2 operates at, if you placed it say....smack in the middle of an open room, it would see, for simplicity's sake, a 4pi radiating environment. Equal energy behind the sub as well as in front of it…

in The Workbench · Feb 21, 2011 05:59[quote user="Leslie"] Hey Jon, that's the whole issue, you hardly can't find them in the original size that would fit properly. Spiros did an attempt some time ago but did not succeed (isn't it Spiros?). [/quote] How big…
BL9 plus subwoofer ideal combination wanted
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 18, 2011 07:29[quote user="Beoboiinoz"] I am under the impression those specs are anechoic - so you could realistically expect the Lab 9's to be closer to 20 - 25 hz in room at -10db and the BL2 perhaps 15 - 18hz again at -10db ref mi…
BL9 plus subwoofer ideal combination wanted
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 17, 2011 17:41Well, seems like you're dead set on the Lab 9's. B&O's low frequency specs for the 9's are -10dB at 30Hz and -10dB at 23Hz for the BL2. So, the BL2 is giving appreciably lower bass, although placement in your room can ea…
Beovox2500 tweeters
in The Workbench · Feb 16, 2011 18:31Hey Leslie, I would definitely keep them, just in case they are repairable, and you want the satisfaction of knowing they are completely stock. That being said, they look pretty haggard, with the diaphragms being torn an…
Trade brandnew combo BL8002/BL2 for BL9 ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 13, 2011 21:33I think it will be hard for the Beolab 8000/2 to EVER look outdated. Definitely a matter of personal taste I guess. I'll venture to say that the BL8000/2 will age far better than the love-it or hate-it looks of the robot…
Trade brandnew combo BL8002/BL2 for BL9 ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 13, 2011 15:51Well, like I said, you're going to have to play with things to get them fine-tuned. I can't see the rest of your room, but the subwoofer might be placed in a non-optimal location. The closer to square your room is, the m…
Trade brandnew combo BL8002/BL2 for BL9 ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 12, 2011 12:18P.S. - If you follow my advice, do your listening at high volumes. Set up at low volumes, there is always the tendency to turn the sub level up too high, and then it sounds boomy and sloppy when listening at higher volum…
Trade brandnew combo BL8002/BL2 for BL9 ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 12, 2011 12:15Where do you have the BL2 positioned in your room? Can you play with the placement? If it's in a corner, it will be effectively radiating into 1/2 Pi space, which means alot of boundary reinforcement and lumpy frequency …
Kalle Hvidt Nielsen is out. Replacing him as President and CEO is Tue Mantoni
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 10, 2011 09:25Poor guy. Being outside of the whole thing, there's obviously alot more to the story that none of us know... That being said, Mr. Nielsen looks quite sad to be going. His facial expressions and overall demeanor give me t…
BeoSound 1 &3200 are no more.
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 5, 2011 19:50[quote user="valve1"] The end of days for the 9000s is upon us and I am sure the dealers will only be delighted to get rid of their demo white models to any one who can remember what a cd is . You will be doing them a fa…
BeoSound 1 &3200 are no more.
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 5, 2011 11:09[quote user="TripEnglish"] My BeoSound 5 has rekindled my home listening as well, which had dwindled to just about zero except for a few radio programs on the weekends. Despite having a BeoSound 9000...connected and inst…
What's playing RIGHT NOW?
in Music & Film · Dec 19, 2010 05:19It's a nice, cold, rainy night; 2:18 am here. I woke up and can't sleep, so I turned up the heat, I'm having a nice glass of Opolo 2007 Mountain Zin, and quietly listening to "Time Out" in the dark on my beautiful, old B…
Why do people put down B&O sound
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 30, 2010 10:18*Sigh*, this is the problem with internet discussions - you tell yourself you're not going to argue anymore, and then the other person says something to draw you back in. I can accept what you're saying about me; I don't…
