B&O or Loewe?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 22, 2012 05:14In my experience the build quality and picture quality were most defintely sub B&O. The picture was a pixellated mess and the supposed chrome on the TV was actually plastic...eeeurgh.. You can always add stuff via Hdmi t…

B&O or Loewe?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 21, 2012 06:00I wouldn't even put loewe in the same league as B&O. I had one , it was utter rubbish.

BeoLit 12 is in the shops! Initial impressions?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 5, 2012 04:17Reminds me of an old Roberts Radio form the mid 70's . Looks pretty naff tbh. Hardly cutting edge. Where's Jacob Jensen when you need him ? His beolit 600 from 1970 - over 40 years ago - makes this look stone age.

What's this? Potential image issue on my BV10
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 22, 2012 03:49For this kind of money you should expect and receive perfection. If the picture has serious problems where on earth is the suposed B&O superiority that we are all told about so much and happily pay for like lemmings ? I …

beovision 9 vs beovision 10-46
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 1, 2011 03:51I seem to recall the 9 had one serious problem , the built in recorder could only record one channel at a time . Ie; you could only record what you were watching. Did they ever sort that out ?

Designer David Lewis has passed away
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 10, 2011 02:59Very Sad News. I don't think he ever got the recognition he deserved for some of his work, seemingly overshadowed by JJ , unfairly in many ways. So who on earth will take up the baton now ??
