Struggling between Beosound 2 or Beoplay A9
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 10, 2016 11:01Obviously take a listen to them both, but I wasn't even considering the A6 until I thought I might as well when in the store. I was briefly tempted to get two A6s for cheaper than the A9 and run them in different rooms! …
Struggling between Beosound 2 or Beoplay A9
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 10, 2016 10:08Hello! I was in a similar situation, and really wanted to fall in love with the Beosound 2 - though after a listen it really underwhelmed me. I found it couldn't handle sudden bass at a decent volume level, and would low…
Beolab 18 vs Beoplay A9 vs Beosound 2
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 7, 2016 21:49Thanks for the reply Sandyb, good points! I would like to add that I have a BL14 setup in the living room, this is purely for a 'music system' in what could be called an office :) Regarding my choice, I'm really leaning …
Needle Drop
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 5, 2016 19:37Hey! Unfortunately this is going to be super vague, but I had a similar issue on my Beogram 5500 (about 5 years ago). If you open up the top case, there are two screws to loosen / tighten that control where the needle dr…
Beolab 18 vs Beoplay A9 vs Beosound 2
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 5, 2016 17:55I just had a listen to the BL17s and am really impressed! My dealer also had the gloss white version and looked absolutely fantastic with black frets and end caps.
Beolab 18 vs Beoplay A9 vs Beosound 2
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 4, 2016 20:08Thanks for the advice! While I do agree that the BL18s are the most suitable for a hifi system, what I meant in my comparison - is to ignore the streaming capabilities as they would not be an influence on my decision. If…

Beolab 18 vs Beoplay A9 vs Beosound 2
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 4, 2016 16:42I'm guessing there's nothing to stop you from running left audio to one, and right audio to another? Other than the fact you'll need to control the volume at the source rather than the A9 itself.
Beolab 18 vs Beoplay A9 vs Beosound 2
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 4, 2016 16:15I wasn't really a fan of the design of the Beolab 17s for some time, until I saw the silver / black ones. Unfortunately I would need the floor stands and the vertical B&O logo really bugs me! I'm thinking it's not worth …
Beolab 18 vs Beoplay A9 vs Beosound 2
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 4, 2016 13:54I know these speakers aren't very comparable due to their different sound presentations, but this is more of a money saving excercise than anything else. I like the look of all of these speakers, and am not so fussed abo…
BeoVision Horizon officially announced
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 12, 2016 12:19I really doubt the issue is due to Android TV compatibility. I have a Sony Android TV and have been using the Netflix app without any issue since I purchased it. Regarding the Horizon, do we think we'll ever see an HDR f…
Beosound 1 & 2
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 5, 2016 22:50I guess everything is down to personal preference, but neither of those speaker systems appeal aesthetically to me. (Especially the floor stander BL17 - why is the logo the wrong way round) There's the potential for a bi…
Beosound 1 & 2
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 5, 2016 19:22Re: Beosound 2 I'm also very interested to know if you could run these as a stereo pair, either from streaming services or the 3.5mm jack (via RCA to 3.5mm to each).

in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 7, 2016 21:50I'm using Android 6.0, on a Nexus 5X. No joy at all!
S3 speakers arrived today - unpacking and first play!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 7, 2016 08:54I was able to successfully update both my S3s to software 9.3.5. All I did was use a different USB cable, so am quite confused. I didn't have to hold all 3 buttons down like the instructions implied - just turning the sp…
S3 speakers arrived today - unpacking and first play!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 5, 2016 12:20Did you guys get the software update to work via the Mac at all? I follow the instructions, the red light appears and then the speaker just turns off! I have to reconnect the power cable for it to function again.
Beolab 14 / Beoplay S8 Surround Sound Question
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 29, 2016 17:03Thanks Earle, i'll check my system tonight to compare. I'm aware that it's not the most optimal way to connect the components, but at the moment, it's not very optimal to have to increase the volume really loud and then …
Beolab 14 / Beoplay S8 Surround Sound Question
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 28, 2016 21:53Im actually considering getting a powered sub with a 'permanantly on' feature as this does seem to be a common problem with subs with an 'auto on' feature. I clearly have my volume too low ;) I mainly bought this system …
Beolab 14 / Beoplay S8 Surround Sound Question
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 24, 2016 23:24Of course, no problem! I hope you get your situation sorted too, it doesn't sound as plug-and-play as I was hoping! I had a bit of a play, and the Beolab will turn on while emitting a test tone on the subwoofer. Which le…
