LifeStyle AV - Now Closed
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 31, 2017 18:29[quote user="moxxey"] [quote user="mbee"] If Lee still wanted to sell Loewe, he could have kept the Lifestyle AV brand... Everything is closed now. Sad. Lifestyle was the only place on the whole Internet where I was assu…
Beovision 5
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 31, 2017 13:02BeoVision 5 used the older STB Controller, which requires a physical chip update and only holds a pre-defined list. It's been years since I had one done - I would query as to whether the chips are even available as a spa…

Bang & Olufsen are shutting down 125 stores!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 9, 2013 09:25Although awful news for those in line for closure, most of the dealers who are performing badly only have themselves to blame. Far too many are more concerned with their own profile, trying harder to emulate the lifestyl…
Beosound 9 WOW.... Razzle Dazzle!!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 20, 2012 16:45It's worth remembering that the V1 is part of the BeoPlay range - which was intended to be completely separate from the 'upmarket' Bang & Olufsen items. I fear that this hasn't really gone to plan, with visitors to Bang …

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 19, 2012 13:17Hi Toby, Try a software update on both items - that usually cures such symptoms!
Beosound 9 WOW.... Razzle Dazzle!!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 19, 2012 13:15"Breeze block radios , kick drum speakers and tvs that look like a box of corn flakes." Eh?! Care to elaborate? I know that recent designs are a little quirky, but I'm struggling to find anything which resembles a box of…
Beocom 2
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 22, 2012 16:10The 'Mk2' part of a BeoCom 2 doesn't mean that it can be used with two lines - it's simply the latter variant of the phone. Even if it is a Mk2, it will most probably need a software upgrade in order to communicate with …

Beovision 5 - should I?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 22, 2012 11:33Yes, but a Panasonic looks like.... well, a Panasonic. I would imagine that an ultra-modern plasma panel which requires wall mounting would look quite odd in an old cottage!
White Beolab 5/10
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 23, 2012 11:45The white BeoLab 9 and 5's look superb. With a once-a-week vacuum over the surface you should be fine! If you are a smoker, however, it's probably not a great idea!
