Mac / beolab 18/19 full fat hook-up

16 replies
Waiting in anticipation for a great solution.

I am listening to Adele21 on the system now - so the Klipsch Control center RP-Hub1 works!

with an all Beolab speaker setup. My GF is not easily impressed, but remarked on the SQ and is singing along right now.

i still only have fronts, subwoofer and center playing in a testsetup, but the center play through a receiver1. I see no reason the 4 sides and rears can not also play.....and since the Klipsch hub can run 7.2 i will be looking at another beolab19 soon.

Weaknesses noted: I can’t get an identifying tone from the hub to ensure all speakers are connected correct, so i will be playing channel identification tracks a lot.

Stability.......leaves a bit to desire.

 

 

 

 

 

 I ditched my Beolab T1 for the same reason. WISA is not reliable....I went to great lengths to "make it work" with no success. 

 I even got the WISA boards straight from the manufacturer(that supplies B&O as well) thinking that I can make a better transmitter (i.e. USB to WISA) but what I've found is that the technology is actually flawed as I experienced the same issues(i.e. connection drops), failing pairing etc.

  Now I'm looking for a wired solution (USB or AVB to Powerlink) but so far I couldn't find anything. 

In the coming months I will buy an axiim Q

A b&o store also reported success with this device

SOLD !

I think you have success πŸ™‚

While it is not advertised, the firmware in Beolab wisa speakers and receiver1 is updateable.

The stability when communicating between speakers and my Klipsch hub was poor, but after the speaker firmware was updated, it is soo much better. The combination is now recommended.

i brought all my speakers and receivers the the Bangkok dealer, and all was updated within half an hour.
