Beovision 6-22 views
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 26, 2011 14:03I bought a second hand BV6-22 from a leading B & O re-seller a few months ago and am very very impressed with it. It is located in the bedroom and feeds BL8000 (another wonderful surprise after several false starts over …

beolab6002 8002
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 18, 2010 07:39It is interesting that the bass response is lowered to 48hz instead of 52 for the older version, mk2. Question is, is this difference going to be spectacularly audible? I guess dealers aren't going to have both sets (BL8…

Getting music (and maybe TV later into the bedroom
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 21, 2010 15:21A very good point re- using mp3 files to power expensive loudspeakers. I am shocked and deeply embarrased that I didn't think of that as I am always preaching GIGO (garbage in and garbage out!) I'm going to explore both …
Getting music (and maybe TV later into the bedroom
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 21, 2010 07:59Thanks Peter. I wonder if I can connect my BS6 to BL6000 with the same cable that is well documented for use with connecting to BL3 or BL4. Any comments re- suitablility of BL6000 in the bedroom for low volume music? Was…
Beovision AV 9000 and passive speakers
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 18, 2010 10:46Absolutely agree- the beauty with the Detoma power amp is that it simply accepts one powerlink input. Therefore suited to powering one pair of passives, which the original question concerned (one pair of Bose). I had TER…
