BV12-65 vs. BV11-46 vs. Eclipse 55/65 vs. Avant 55/65
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 17, 2022 10:29[quote user="Giorgione"] Now to my question: I'm currently using a BV11-46 in a 5.1 (BL2 and 4xBL3) surround setup in my TV-room and now have the chance to get a near mint BV12-65 for less than 2k€. [/quote] I used to ow…
Price reduction on BS1 and Edge
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 7, 2022 12:14[quote user="LeMirage"] More then once I have heard at a dealership “if you ever want to pull the trigger on an edge give me a call and we give you very very nice deal”. Says it all I guess [/quote] I got mine for only £…
Goodbye Balance. Hello A9
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 28, 2022 06:42[quote user="BeoCom 1401"] I had a very strange and unexpected weekend, and it all started with a little curiosity about the Bespoke program. [/quote] That's way too much to read! 😁 All I'll say is, I miss my A9. Stupid…
Bang & Olufsen, a Rich mans game!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 27, 2022 22:07[quote user="Sandyb"] The question we need to ask ourselves is this : would you / can you afford to replace every B&O item you have, at current prices? [/quote] I thought the same thing the other day. Two years ago I pic…
How about some good B&O customer service news for a change?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 18, 2022 09:51[quote user="matteventu"] Solving the problems by just replacing the product is not a very good model of customer service, despite the first impression that it may give. [/quote] That is your opinion, but most of us aren…
What to expect moving from BeoSound 2 to Balance
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 13, 2022 18:17[quote user="Sandyb"] I had a Level GVA, used with the microphone switched off [/quote] Still don't get why you wouldn't use GVA? I have no negative experiences at all, rarely picks up things it shouldn't (to be fair, so…
B&O - purveyor of disposable hifi
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 13, 2022 16:13[quote user="BenSA"] Exactly, time to move on and embrace the changes that have been inevitable. The sales improvements and profits show that they have made the right choices. [/quote] Also, the title of the thread is ut…

What to expect moving from BeoSound 2 to Balance
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 13, 2022 15:59[quote user="beojeff"] @Moxxey- I seem to recall that you're a GVA user. Perhaps you'd like to contribute your opinions regarding the features, advantages, and disadvantages of the GVA vs. non-GVA versions. [/quote] I ha…
What to expect moving from BeoSound 2 to Balance
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 13, 2022 12:13[quote user="Csaba"] I am surprised about the Edge. I have had a listen to it once but I cannot remember I would have placed it that low. But you are not the only one that says it sounds weird. [/quote] When I bought it …
What to expect moving from BeoSound 2 to Balance
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 13, 2022 09:57[quote user="BeoAnna"] Is the Balance really a downgrade from the BeoSound 2 though? Also, where I'm located I'm only able to get the version with GVA. I understand there's a switch underneath the speaker to disable the …
B&O - purveyor of disposable hifi
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 12, 2022 20:54[quote user="schatzoy"] 100% agree. B&O was once known for top quality products, unrivalled customer service and high prices. All that is left are high prices, the rest is gone. I seriously doubt that this is a sustainab…
What do we think we will see in 2022?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 5, 2022 14:27[quote user="swestland"] If that's going to be the case many Eclipse owners will be slapped in the face again. As with the v1 they have been told the screen would be upgradeable. Then v2 came out as LG changed the panels…
What do we think we will see in 2022?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 5, 2022 14:21[quote user="Mr 10Percent"] As indicated, it is my "fantasy" business plan for B&O in 2022. I firmly believe they need to hunker down and weather what I think will be a nasty financial storm in 2022. Too many products, t…
New higher prices
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 5, 2022 14:10[quote user="pentalex"] The Beosound Stage was a promising soundbar for new customers. 1500€ was a good price for newcomers. In the middle off 2021 the price went up to 1599€. Now the price is starting at 1799€. [/quote]…
New higher prices
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 5, 2022 14:08[quote user="Curly"] BS2 in the US is now $3000. This makes me laugh. Value is relative but... that thing is not a $3k speaker, IMHO. [/quote] Not when I bought my two BS2's for £900 (Green, non-GA) and £1250 (Natural, w…
Poll: Do you have a rattling Halo? Please respond here.
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 22, 2021 06:48[quote user="Curly"] We wonder if manufacturing tolerances were changed on purpose--for example, to extend the life of the product. [/quote] You could be right. Mine doesn't rattle, but it's one of the first models, and …
Clot
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 9, 2021 06:10[quote user="Puncher"] In this case it is exactly what it says on the tin! It's very sad that the company has begun stooping this low! Absolute Tat! [/quote] Strangely enough, I know a few teens and younger 20-somethings…
New LG with moving Kvadrat cover
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 8, 2021 15:21[quote user="swestland"] LG was like, thanks B&O for the partnership lets see what we could do ourselves design-wise to what you do :) [/quote] Truthfully, LG is huge, I'm not convinced there's much of a 'partnership' be…
Beosound 1 & 2 EOL?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 7, 2021 21:57[quote user="Frederik"] I guess currently the Level is more popular than the Beosound 1 as a portable speaker. [/quote] I have both a Level and BS1. I prefer the Level. It sounds (slightly) better and, as you say, very p…
