Which subwoofer to pair with Beolab 3s
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 25, 2021 19:32very useful, thank you, im guessing from the specs the 8000s are close-ish to the beolab 3s. and I can always cut the bass with the remote if I’m getting distortion. so either path is viable, I’ll just have to see what’s…
Which subwoofer to pair with Beolab 3s
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 25, 2021 17:16So it sounds like a strong consensus that the Beolab 11 works really well for music and does add something with the Beolab 3s. Anybody using the BL2 for music? Is the reported "slowness" really an issue? Has anybody trie…
Which subwoofer to pair with Beolab 3s
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 25, 2021 01:28Hi. I recently set up a pair of 8" powered studio monitors in my bedroom, and I found myself noticing the Beolab 3s in the living room really are four inch speakers. Spooky 4" speakers, but 4" speakers. They're connected…
Playmaker - setting bass and trebel
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 21, 2020 16:59Yes, that's exactly what I need! Thank you! I have, I think, a Playmaker 1, which the thread suggests might well support the "loudness" function - I'll talk to B&O tech support and see if they can give me a definitive an…
Playmaker - setting bass and trebel
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 21, 2020 16:37Ok, that's really useful, thank you. Roughly how much of a bass boost do you get? Let me describe the problem a little more clearly. The Beolab 3's I'm connected to sound *fantastic* when played really quite loud. Below …
Playmaker - setting bass and trebel
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 20, 2020 18:24Wondering if anybody knows a software-based of adjusting the bass and treble on a Playmaker? Some undocumented interface on the web server it runs? CURL 192.0.0.163 <parameters> Seems like the only way of adjusting the b…
Beolab 3: there is an *awful* lot of low end you don't normally see.
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 11, 2013 14:38Fascinating, I'd never heard of it. A clever feature indeed: where can I read more?
Beolab 3: there is an *awful* lot of low end you don't normally see.
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 2, 2013 19:37Ah, good question! They're set to "side" and are sat parallel to a wall about 30cm from the wall, mid way along the length of the wall (i.e. the speakers are not back to the wall, but side to the wall). I wonder if I sho…
Beolab 3: there is an *awful* lot of low end you don't normally see.
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 2, 2013 18:07Observation: when not playing Beolab 3s loud their low end is notably thin. Turned up it fills in right nicely but it's some kind of non-linear effect with loudness. In a small room for background listening, that kind of…
I have figured out how to get the Playmaker to play nice with Linux - simple fix
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 27, 2013 22:55So now that it all works nicely, a second question: how good a D2A is the Playmaker?

I have figured out how to get the Playmaker to play nice with Linux - simple fix
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 25, 2013 12:00" Why misuse a Playmaker for that - a Raspberry Pi can do that and much more." Misuse is in the eye of the beholder... A nice high quality D/A with networking features is whatever I tell it to be, if the software is open…
I have figured out how to get the Playmaker to play nice with Linux - simple fix
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 25, 2013 10:39I took a quick look to see if I could figure out what OS the Playmaker is running HTTP/1.0 200 OK Date: Sat Jan 1 00:00:00 2000 Server: GoAhead-Webs Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache Content-type: text/html So the…
I have figured out how to get the Playmaker to play nice with Linux - simple fix
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 25, 2013 10:14Guys, Airplay and DLNA are just two standards. They do a very similar job in slightly different ways. One's Apple native, the other's Android native. Right now, Android outsells Apple at least two to one. There's no ques…
I have figured out how to get the Playmaker to play nice with Linux - simple fix
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 24, 2013 15:22Functionally, I don't know much about differences between DLNA and Airplay - DLNA's a bit less mature, but "chuck file at device" vs. "chuck bitstream at device" doesn't seem like a religious issue :-) But DLNA is defini…
I have figured out how to get the Playmaker to play nice with Linux - simple fix
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 23, 2013 17:23I'm delightedly listening to a lossless file which I managed to get from a PC running Ubuntu to my Playmaker without any major messing around . This is not a perfect solution, as you'll see below, but it makes it easy to…

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 23, 2012 20:38So encouraged by feedback on Beoworld about the Beolab 3s, I finally sprung for a used pair from MoreThanAV. My gf and I took a trip out there last week, they're a couple of minutes from Gatwick, and it was a really enjo…

Beolab 3s - any insights before I pick up a used pair? Models / revisions / age?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 6, 2012 14:26Hi. I'm thinking of picking up a used pair of Beolab 3s. I picked up the audiophile bug about 10 years ago - listening to a Spendor 1/2e rig. It was kind of life-changing. But the Spendors were, first of all, too expensi…
