How does the Beolab 5 stack up against the top of the line B&W 800s/802s/Dynaudios etc

Beolab 5 problem
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 5, 2013 19:00Thank you very much. This is what I suspected. The sticky part is that I live about 6 hrs from the closest B&O dealer, not including Canada. Hope they're willing to send a technician because I'm definitely not shipping t…
Beolab 5 problem
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 5, 2013 15:30So I thought I would see if some of the experts here could diagnose my problem so I will have somewhat of a clue to tell the service people. I recently hooked my lab 5s up using the coax digital to a preamp that has a di…
What's the WORST product in the B&O line-up
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 20, 2013 19:36Beosound 5 A digital music player that was 5 years past its prime when it first came out. It's supposed to free your music collection but instead needs to be attached to an ugly box and remain in one place in the room. W…
What's the BEST product in the B&O line-up
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 20, 2013 19:32I'm somewhat biased but I'd go with the beolab 5. Like you said, timeless design, unbelievable performance, and, when considering they are active speakers with built in amplification, a relatively decent price.

Devialet vs Bang & Olufsen

BeoLabs in surround sound with non-B & O preamp
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 6, 2013 13:04David, The main problem with the 7-4 was the lack of line in option. The speaker needs a trigger signal sent which would would have required me to get more cables and do more finagling than I preferred. It was simply eas…
BeoLabs in surround sound with non-B & O preamp
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 5, 2013 17:52I have lab 5s and 3s hooked up to an Anthem processor, no problems at all and it sounds incredible. I just left the lab5s volume alone and I let the processor set the calibrations for volume, coss-over, etc with mic and …
BeoPlay A9
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 16, 2012 14:58From your picture it doesn't look overly imposing at all. I am completely fascinated by the A9. I can't wait for more reviews to start coming in. I have a geneva sound model L already and was thinking of upgrading to eit…
Mac firewire out to Lab 5s

Anyone using MOG or Spotify?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 22, 2012 18:36I use MOG streamed through various sonos units around my house. One sonos plays through lab 5s. Sound is very good, I doubt I could tell a difference between MOG and apple lossless I have on NAS. Selection is great for s…

in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 5, 2012 00:40Picky, picky people on here. I think it looks awesome, but then again I have a Geneva sound L which I love as well. I think I'm going to sell the Geneva and pick up one of these when they're available. I've seen white an…

beolab 5 and Sonos
in General Discussion & Questions · May 12, 2012 20:26The cool thing with the BL5 is they have a digital coaxial input. Now it's possible to run a direct digital connection from the sonos to the BL5 and bypass the DAC in sonos and use the far superior DAC in the 5s. You wil…
Disappointed With Music On B&O System
in General Discussion & Questions · May 2, 2012 03:10Your equipment is fine. The 8000s are great speakers. In my experience, when good equipment does not sound good, it's usually the acoustics of the room at play. I have a system with BL5 and BL 3 as rears. In my new house…
