BS5 supports Apple Lossless

Beolit 12 Normal Behaviour?

Beolit 12 Normal Behaviour?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 9, 2012 03:09Agreed. This kind of 'poor user experience' is exactly why I believe Apple are beginning to corner this market - they are very good at making sure the 'user experience' is as seamless as possible. The product may be grea…

Beolit 12 Normal Behaviour?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 9, 2012 02:48I am now beginning to consider this 'feature' a 'major flaw' in the Beolit's operational behaviour. I am not sure how this product is supposed to work. If I am in my kitchen where one of the Beolit 12's is placed and I w…
