BeoSound Level Video - First Look - New portable speaker from Bang & Olufsen
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 11, 2021 12:59[quote user="Hiort"] I wonder if this is sign of B&O to skip Deezer and TuneIn and focus on Spotify Connect and B&O Radio. Spotify has over 140 million paid users. Deezer is quite a bit smaller with its subscriber base o…
Sometimes you shouldn't let your partner see your new B&O...
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 11, 2021 12:53That video was hilarious, Steve, I loved every second of it. And I second the thought that I wish my wife was as into this stuff as yours. My wife even thinks the BL20's look like crap. Oh well... I'm waiting eagerly for…
Colour change the grill on BeoLab 7-1
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 6, 2021 21:26I didn't change the colour, but i did change the grill many years ago, because it had some dents. If you have a gloss black grill, just shove the old one to the right, if I'm not mistaken, and it will come right off.
Which subwoofer to pair with Beolab 3s
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 26, 2021 14:08[quote user="kuyttendaele"] AND! The looks are still, even after all these years, just brilliant! [/quote] THAT! There's never been a subwoofer that looked as good as the BL11. And for the record: that's not an opinion, …
Which subwoofer to pair with Beolab 3s
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 26, 2021 12:55For what it's worth, I've never loved a speaker as much as I did love my BL11, until I got the BL20's. The BL11 delivers such a clean, neat and fast bass reponse while also able to make the windows shake with a chopper i…

What does the DPL do on the Core?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 30, 2020 11:47[quote user="seethroughyou"] Tried that this evening several times and it doesn’t work sadly. No sound at all. Maybe your BL20 has powerlink cables attached to it. [/quote] Weird. And no, there are no powerlink cables be…
What does the DPL do on the Core?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 29, 2020 13:32[quote user="seethroughyou"] Tried to connect it to my BL90 hoping to do in-app volume control so I wouldn’t have to go out of the Core and into BL90 on the app to do volume control. [/quote] You can actually control the…
New B&O floor stand for Stage
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 26, 2020 16:44[quote user="Sandyb"] But that would be a more expensive product. [/quote] I can relate to that when adding a surround decoder, but just adding a PowerLink input, increasing the flexibility of the product enormously... I…
New B&O floor stand for Stage
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 26, 2020 15:36[quote user="Curly"] Seeing this makes me wish we could use the Stage as a center channel in a surround setup. [/quote] Exactly. I still find it completely unbelievable and actually, Darwin Award deserving, that the Stag…
Bs3200 vs Bs 3000 mkll
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 7, 2020 23:18No, the BS3200 has a glossy clamp, while the BS3000 has a matte disc clamp.
Lossless streaming: Can you really hear a difference?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 24, 2020 09:24To add my 1 cent... there's a song called 'The Asphalt World', by UK band Suede. I listened to it on CD (BS3000 connected to BL20) countless times. Then I moved to the BS Core with Spotify. I couldn't listen to it anymor…
BL18+19 or BL20
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 22, 2020 10:45[quote user="Curly"] i just can’t get past the looks. To me, B&O is about aluminum and wood. The 20s basically have neither, just a bunch of cheap speaker cloth. [/quote] That's funny! I grew up with a Beosystem 5000, wh…
BL18+19 or BL20
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 22, 2020 10:40I agree. And besides that, I really like the fact that those massive powered speakers seem to be balanced on the floor, instead of taking up a massive footprint. Just some of this old fashioned B&O design wizardry.
Besound 1 as remote control for Beosound Core?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 21, 2020 15:23Ah, that's a shame. I don't have a B&O TV anymore, so I don't have a BRone lying around. And not sure about the Essence.
Besound 1 as remote control for Beosound Core?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 21, 2020 09:31Hi, I'm new to the multiroom speaker approach from B&O. I have a BS Core and was wondering if I could use a BS1 (or any other of their multiroom speakers) as a remote control for the Core? So, e.g.: if the Core is playin…
BL18+19 or BL20
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 21, 2020 08:53Well, all I can tell you is that since I recently - and finally - got a Deezer HiFi subscription, while my BL20's are connected to my BS Core via TOSLINK, I keep getting amazed by the sound. Each and every note and instr…
Dolby Digital with non-B&O television: how?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 4, 2020 19:46Hi! No, situation is still the same. Except the fact that I have not received a response from Almando, which I think is not the right way to do business. So I'm stand by my previous comment: for music listening I do cert…
Which is more reliable: BL 9 or BL 5 or BL x?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 5, 2019 07:27[quote user="BeoFrederic"] I hadn’t considered the 18s - or the 20s, for that matter. You rarely hear much about the 20s. I’m leery of B&O products that require software. [/quote] I've had the 20's for 3,5 years now and …
