Thanks MM,

Yes, that is the correct RJ45 PUC cable for the Theatre!

Kind regards, Steve.

£1000 for the aluminium wings…? They’re really pushing it…

Does anyone know if the larger size of wings is an option where those wings are shipped with the Theater INSTEAD of the standard size wings? Or do we get the larger size of wings IN ADDITION to the standard size wings?

I'm curious about this to know if we choose to buy larger wings LATER if the price is even MORE than the quoted price for the upgrade at the time of the purchase of the Theater.

hmm not clear - my guess is that if you ordered a 77 inch version, you'd get one package / box for the standard Theatre, and that would include the small 55 inch wings....and a separate package containing the 77 inch wings. Thats my best guess.

That said the spec sheet suggests not (though we know spec sheets are often not 100% correct)

The spec sheet says

WHAT IS IN THE BOX:

Beosound Theatre including 55” or 65” or 77” Side Wings

Can interpret that spec sheet wording in different ways, but my guess is as above....you get the 55 wings whatever size you order, and in addition the 65 / 77 wings in a separate box if that what was specified at time of purchase.

One of the UK websites has pricing options and some transparency.

55 Theatre 5390 GBP

77 Theatre 6190 GBP

so 800 GBP difference for the larger version

Same as the wood cover (vs the grey cloth) - an extra 800 GBP.

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question - I have a Beovision 11, but the half of the speakers have stopped working. Could I pair the New Theatre with it and control the sound from the Theatre and just link the screen to the Beovision 11 and still, hopefully control it all via the Beo remote? I just cant afford the full setup at the moment, plus the screen is still awesome! But down the track I'll upgrade the panel.

Thanks :)

@splud

The short answer is No!

However - since you thought of ‘adding’ a BS Theatre, why not just add the extra costs for an LG tv, thatreally is the least expensive part of the package.

And repairing the failing speakers as well as the ‘panel upgrade’ (whatever you mean by that) won’t come cheap either.

Sorry for the BV11, which is such a nice and also capable tv.

P.S. Maybe you could share what is wrong with ‘half of the speakers’….are you sure, that they are damaged?

Hi Frank,

The key to this is whether the Theatre has auto line sensing in the same way that other Mozart speakers do. If so, then yes, you will be able to press CD on your remote control and the Theatre will switch to the line input automatically.

I hope to be able to test this in a couple of weeks time when I can get a proper change to try out the Theatre for myself.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Steve,

I look forward to hear the result of your test of the Theatre. I did attend a promotion of the Theatre in Copenhagen last thursday. Big mistake - I’ll have to talk with my bank next week ?

What a Sound! ?

Kind regards

Hi Steve, It would be nice if you can test the BS Theatre with Penta speakers, and then check whether the Theatre sends data to displays on Pentas. And how do they all sound together, right. :-) Best regards, Les
