MX-7000 worth repairing?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 11, 2012 15:28Thanks, maybe worth to have an B&O technician have a look at it and take it from there. I don´t have any skills to do anything myself.
MX-7000 worth repairing?

Out of date so quick
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 7, 2012 17:46I stopped trying to keep up and buy the latest many years ago while I was still young. I saw my friends spend a fortune on electronics. They too realised that it was a waste in the end. There will always be something new…
BeoLit 12 is in the shops! Initial impressions?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 25, 2012 08:18I saw the The Beolit 12 today. It was smaller in real life than I thought and the sound was quite impressive. But I still don´t think it´s a product for me. But B&O will probably sell a lot of them. The few the local B&O…

Should I leave the Beocenter 9500 to a workshop before using it?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 12, 2012 17:14[quote user="tournedos"] I did however replace the caps in the crossovers, and that improved the sound a lot . The 6000s are newer so they might not need it yet - I have a pair of 6000s as well, but have never tried any …
Should I leave the Beocenter 9500 to a workshop before using it?

Favorite David Lewis design
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 12, 2011 18:26I always liked the AV 9000, Beosound Overture, Beolab 8000, Beolab 6000 combo. The Beosound 9000 is another favorite. David Lewis designed many B&O icons during his career. Sound wise the Beolab 5 is on top. The design t…
What's better?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 23, 2011 04:57[quote user="Chrisreunion"] I went for the 4000 and was never disappointed by them, however, the newer 4000 with ICE Power amps has a higher distortion rate + smaller amps than the older version, so I wouldn't recommend …

in General Discussion & Questions · May 15, 2011 18:09Just out of curiosity. Is it common that there are scams on second hand equipment from B&O? I looked at two ads from abroad and both advertised Beolab 5 speakers but with different prices. I belive that they where too go…
