BRONZE MemberDear B&O enthusiasts, I was wondering, what would be a good possible set-up for computer-desktop use? Speaker(s) would be standing on my desk, near my computer screen. I currently use a ‘retro’ set of Bowers & Wilkins MMM1, I love these because of their design, minimal size, and stereo sound. Are there any B&O users that have experience with a desktop set-up of B&O products, for use with a computer? Ps I use a Macini M4.

BRONZE MemberBest : connect a Beosound core digitally to the Mac and add a pair of bl3.
Best of the best : a pair of BL8
Cheap : pair of A1 connected in BT (my solution at the office)
No stereo : a beosound Level on the desk (my solution for the home office, and the level goes to the pool in summer days off!)29 June 2025 at 10:15 #66723Sergi0
SILVER MemberBL4 directly plugged on the motherboard. Good enough for computer, and no need to add another devices to use them via line-in.

Why not just stick to your current setup – it seems that you like it so far.
If anything…then a set of the BL8’s – that would be a clean setup. But that is a lot of money for a desktop solution.
P.S.
I use a set of passive AudioEngine desktop speakers driven by a small amp which is analog connected to a USB-DAC on my Mac Mini.
But I have space to hide the clutter away….which not everybody has on his desk.
Works well for me – it does not have to be B&O speakers for my limited use of desktop computing.MM

FOUNDER MemberInteresting – I did have BL3s for a while – used a Beomaster 7000 below the computer – didn’t really like them – never felt as if they sounded integrated – like two speakers – probably because too close. Went to CX100s which were better for me. Getting old so although CX100s are still there, no longer connected as gave away the receiver!
