Is the old B&O DNA gone forever?! (Probably a rant)
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 21, 2018 18:44[quote user="DanTop"] Symmes, what’s your thoughts? [/quote] I was going to write something brilliant then decided to go work on my deck renovation instead. Something about how A/V has gotten so complicated that mixing s…

uk price bolab 18
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 6, 2014 23:36[quote user="The Beonic Man"] Are these speakers better than pre-owned BL9s I wonder? I did consider them but wanted a change from column speakers that I have had for years. How do the two compare? [/quote] Performance w…
Beovision 7-55 or beovision 11-55
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 6, 2014 17:20@ mbdj That room is amazing with your wall color and the light gray on your B&O. My opinion is the only real upgrade to your BV9 is the BV12, and it's end of life. BV7 offers no significant advantage to your BV9 outside …
The new Lumigon T2 HD - excited?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 4, 2014 18:44Lumigon phone must not have FCC clearance. Doesn't mean it won't work, but you cannot sell here without. Referring to another thread, I am pretty sure that's the reason we don't have KNX products in US.
Control4 with MLGW?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 3, 2014 17:39If you have licensed Control 4 you should be able to do those drivers plus B&O at no extra charge (at least in US), according to my C4 buddy.
B&O Play & DJ Khaled "WE THE BEST" H6 Headphones
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 2, 2014 18:03[quote user="Wouter"] [quote user="Millemissen"] i would not say so. B&O Play is a subbrand, which has a different target group than the traditional Bang & Olufsen brand has - you should not forget that. MM [/quote] Mayb…
B&O Play & DJ Khaled "WE THE BEST" H6 Headphones
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 2, 2014 01:08[quote user="Jonathan"] Another negative response by somebody who doesn't own any B&O, and continually states he has no interest in buying B&O! Well done Paul W! [/quote] It's comic relief. DJ Khaled has 2 MILLION twitte…
Unwatchable SKY HD on new Avant 55
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 28, 2014 17:55I was in the B&O store the other day and had the opportunity to watch the World Cup match on a BV11-55 and BV Avant side by side. The Avant was fed by a Motorola STB on ESPN (which has variable compression depending on w…
Dolby Atmos and B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 26, 2014 22:12I guess it is fair to say that if your bluray player can decode atmos to pcm, Avant could handle 21 channels out of the box; 3 in the TV, 10 PowerLink, and 8 WISA. Mind boggling.
Beolab 4/Beolab 14
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 26, 2014 12:30I would also consider 4x BeoLab 4 plus BeoLab 11 subwoofer. MSRP compared to BeoLab 14 seems reasonable. Setup might be more work. I think it is worth the difference.
Network Radio: B&O back to its roots?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 23, 2014 17:21[quote user="Paul W"] Has anyone noticed the BeoPlayer app won't work? It's been four weeks since i've been able to listen to internet radio on it! [/quote] Works for me in the US, without fail.
To Days The Day :-) The New Avant...What Do you Think Of It?

Has B&O ever not had self amp and if when did that stop?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 18, 2014 16:43[quote user="Millemissen"] My BeoMaster 4500 has an in-board amp. The last BM4500's were made in 1994. The last BM7000's came in 94/95. But if you with 'true inboard amplifiers' mean one without PowerLink-out, you may be…
Beosystem AV9000 and oppo
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 18, 2014 16:23Your setup sounds correct, but I am not sure about the video connection. If you have an s-video connector on the AV9000, you should get a marginally better picture than from the scart, assuming scart is composite video? …
Has B&O ever not had self amp and if when did that stop?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 18, 2014 16:03So, if we are giving a person a gracious break, what was the last B&O product with true inboard amplifiers? BeoCenter 9000 1989???????
