The Audiophile & B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 23, 2012 09:52I added Fat Dots from herbiesaudiolab.net in an attempt to tidy up the bass in my BL5s. I found that they were the perfect way to raise my speakers 4mm without affecting the sound at all. I will try Trips advice instead.

Mac Mini with Beolab 5 – The “old” ones without SYNC option
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 31, 2012 16:30I have a Mac Mini connected digitally to a pair of BL5. My BL5 does have sync, but since I do not use the Speakers in option 4, non B&O mode, I do not need it. I have an old B&O Overture connected via masterlink to the t…

Beolab 5 disappointed
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 5, 2011 06:47Sorry Folks, I feel really stupid to ask this question. Is it important how the BL5 mains are connected? I'm thinking, if the direction of the socket influence the fase of the drivers? My instinct says of course... But t…
