Beovision 10 55 - screen went pphutt...
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 9, 2019 14:41Thanks Michael. With my limited electrical skills I'm afraid I'm packing up the BV 10 to send it on it's way to a good home where it might blossom again in the right hands 😕
Beovision 10 55 - screen went pphutt...
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 8, 2019 13:51Hi Keith Thanks for that quick response - it is preowned: it's origins were, I understand, a first production model (I'm presuming of the Beovision 11) that was given to the company I work for for testing. That was a num…
Beovision 10 55 - screen went pphutt...
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 8, 2019 13:22Hi - I have a Beovision 10 -55 (which is not generally listed, so I am guessing it's a precursor of the 11 - 55) and after enjoying it for sometime, it made a little phutt noise last night and now I've lost the screen an…
MORE H6 'Special Editions'..
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 7, 2014 17:20A friend of mine in the motor industry always used to say 'if their bringing out special editions, sales must really be flagging' . But that was 20 years ago and he was talking about Austin Metros
Save 20% on Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 20,19,18 and 17 Loudspeakers!!*
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 11, 2014 07:58Looks like they are coming good to all those who thought they were misled: " A purchase of an Avant is part of the T&Cs of this offer, however as the response has been so great we will honour the full discount quoted to …
VERY rare.........
in eBay - the right way! · Apr 25, 2014 14:18Funnily enough, a few years back I put one on ebay that I had spare for auction with a buy-it-now of £10 (I think it was £15 from my dealers but surplus to requirements) but it eventually sold for around the £25 mark
What made you stop?.....
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 3, 2013 16:25For me it was 7 first of all. The local dealer was so snooty and intransigent that I would go instead, twenty or even forty miles to more welcoming details. More recently it's been a bit of point 4: I just don't recognis…
Strange BV11 Offer Advert
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 2, 2013 16:43This is my big problem with B&O at the moment (apart from the absurd prices). They are making a big deal of a 5 year warrantee - something you get on any and every single tv as a matter of course at John Lewis and no dou…
Odds on Tue, staying, leaving or being sacked
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 27, 2013 16:42I have to say that the only thing that I can see that is exceptional about many of the products today is the price. They are not sufficiently distinguished and I would be loathed to spend serious money on products from a…
Swindon B&O Closing
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 17, 2013 15:37That's sad indeed and I echo Vikinger's wishes. Also leaves a big hole in southern central England - guess Newbury, Oxford and Bristol are now the closest. Not that I'd personally spend any time or money with the latter!
Heathrow Fast Passes... FREE
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 12, 2012 10:54People can probably tell similar stories from their own regional airport but at Bristol you can pay (£6per person) for express security. Unfortunately, once you get through the automatic doors you discover about 50% of p…
Strange happening in a B&O shop
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 20, 2012 15:51That reminds me of the time I went into Bang and Olufsen of Cheltenham only to take a look at Century (shows how long ago this was). But I came out with that Century, some alternate frets, a Bang and Olufsen Watch and a …
If you could add one button to your Beo4, what would it be?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 20, 2012 12:41Hi Steve Central heating control would be top of my list - if not now, for later in the year. If you could also get the Nest Thermostat to work in the UK and interface with it you can take my order now! Peter
What would be a B&O computer bag?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 6, 2012 14:34I keep my laptop in a scruffy well worn bag for general duties - so that way one of them wrong 'uns will think it's got worthless contents - just a paper file or something and not try and grab it (shows the areas I go to…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 1, 2012 10:39Jonathan - happy to vote you up. But then I realised I need to do more - so added my own comments! Lets hope others do likewise.
My Beocenter 1 is tacky!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 11, 2012 09:58Not style wise you understand! The casing - which has been meticulously looked after, not cleaned with chemicals, is now tacky to the touch. I'm guessing that this is the rubberised coating ageing. Has anyone else come a…
BS8 and Beolit in John Lewis!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 11, 2012 10:08Hi Paul - sadly didn't get the chance - JL in Bristol don't seem to be stocked up in Beoplay items yet. Still, making a repeat visit very soon so will let you know. I'll try to avoid the Mulberry leggings when I go thoug…
BS8 and Beolit in John Lewis!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 8, 2012 14:47Though a fan of JL I had a similar experience. Whilst scanning a Loewe display area (just out of competitive interest!), a salesman (who knew his stuff about Loewe) said "we've had a lot of interest particularly from B&O…
