Confess I also have a BV11 – less enamoured with that than you are – remote not easy to use in the dark and the drama turning it on with the Bang & Olufsen coming up before anything happens –

Seems that you use the BROne.
Why not use a Beo4?

As for the B&O logo – just set some Quick Start timers and it turns on immediately (with the curtains).

@Teun

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.

If you plan to go by train from Copenhagen to Struer, you should know that:

You can get very low fares if you plan and buy tickets at the right moment – you can buy 2 months ahead.

The prices will vary depending on the time of the day.

If you are over 65 years old 😉 you pay less.
I would recommend buying a seat reservation.

The duration can vary quite a lot – the quickest train rides are at 4 hour 15 minutes approx – with 1 change.
See this example:

DSB (danish railroad service) has an english version of their homepage: https://www.dsb.dk/en/

I am pretty sure that Geoff will not see your post – he hasn’t been on the Beoworld forum for a long while.

Maybe I am wrong…we’ll see.

In the meantime you could visit his own homepage – I am certain that you will find your answers there.

A lot of us would be happy to have a setup like yours

I see no real point in changing from BL2 to BL19….unless you have money to burn.

Honestly 6xBL9 should provide enough and bass in the room….…..even without the BL2.

But what do I know 🤣

P.S. I would not change the BL4000’s to BL3’s – if at all, then to the BL17’s.

I am on 663 as well.

With the two stations, that I listen to most, there are no problems….is as it uses to be.

Yes this forum is dying a slow death over the last couple years.  Very little engagement these days The discord channel is pretty active so I suggest that.

That depends on what you are looking for and how.

The Discord Channel lately seems to have become a playground for people bragging about how many products they have and in which colours respectively how many they can afford…

…at least partly 😕

I am sure that you can find answers (if that is what someone is looking for) there, if you dig deeper into it.

The Beoworld Forum, however is the go to forum for those, who have questions concerning older products/setups.
The newer products and the use of these are – unfortunately – not very present here nowadays.

But there are skilled/experienced people here, should someone have questions.

In the end we much realize that the Beoworld forum is not the only forum on the internet like it used to be.

The Beoworld forum will probably only survive, if people post/ask here…..and they get relatively snappy answers.

But honestly – as a long time poster and member – I myself sometimes have my doubts, whether the forum will survive nowadays with all the B&O related groups all over the internet.

P.S.
One major benefit of the Beoworld forum is, that the threads here are indexed by Google – a simple Google Search can often lead to answers.
This is not the case with the different Facebook Groups and Discord Channels!

Firstly…

….what do you want to discuss – feel free to start a discussion (here).

Secondly….…

…..yes, there are several Facebook groups and also Discord channels.

The guys in Bremdal are absolutely ‘good guys’!

However, you should know that they are closing down the stores (the B&O and the B&O Classic as well) very soon.

They are now selling what is left.

For how long the online store will exist is hard to say.

P.S.
It is a sad story 😟

You could try to connect a streaming source e.g. the Macbook (with a physical connection/a cable) to the aux input of the Core…

…in order to see, if the Core still drops out, when it does not depend on your wifi or ethernet connection.

Sure….now that you have teased it, go ahead.

1: yes, a splitter and or daisychaining will do.

2: the converter contains a digital to analog converter….otherwise it would not work!

3: that depends on the setup/the sub etc.

The PL out on the linked version is also just L/R….it is just easier when you use Beolabs to have PL-out on the converter straight away.
Some subs have connections for L/R pass through (and some sort of bas management).

4: sure, in that case the tv has to be on.
Alternatively – since you have two sets of Beolabs –  you could create two sets…..one for tv and one for music.
Personally I would not mind the tv being on – for longer listening sessions you can mute/turn off the picture of the C3.

P.S.

If you go for the WiiM Ultra, you can connect the C3 there – it contains a HDMI/ARC Converter.
(The similar B&O device is the Beosound Connect Core).
It also has a trigger port, so you’d only need the ‘right cables’ for the connection to your Beolabs.
Feel free to ask Steve@SoundsHeavenly, if you are in the UK.
If you are in Denmark/Scandinavia, A/V Connection.dk can provide the right ones.

There should be multiple solutions to this.

If you want an external streamer (to be used with an app on phone/tablet), you could use the line-in/optical on the Eclipse. Just connect the output of the streamer there.
If you want to try that out, go for e.g. a WiiM Mini (these devices have good reputations).
The small box can easily be hidden away. You can even create a seperate Speaker Group for that input….in case you have external speakers connected to the tv.

If the 1st Generation BeoVision Eclipse still supports Casting, you could just (chrome)cast from the Qobuz app on your device.

The Qobuz app should be available for download to the tv (?).
In case this is not supported on the 1st Generation BeoVision Eclipse, you could add a GoogleTV streamer via HDMI…..I am pretty sure you can find the Qobuz app in the Google app store for that.

In case you lean more towards Apple solutions, you could add an AppleTV box – there is a Qobuz app for that.

Why do you want a receiver for that?

As you can use the Spotify app and the Airplay feature of the C3, all you need is a HDMI/ARC converter and some trigger cables (ask Steve@SoundsHeavenly for that) to get sound from your tv.

Or buy this converter with built-in trigger for Beolabs (which I have and that works just fine).

These converters are powered by USB and can be hidden behind the tv. The remote of the tv can be used for volume controlling.

P.S. Unless you would want a multichannel setup….in which case you’d also need a center channel speaker.

You definitely need one, that you can pair with your gen2…….to get gorgeous stereo sound 😂

Sorry to ask…

…..but, I saw my name – millemissen – on the list in the video.

Does that mean, that I am ‘one of the choosen ones’?

Does that mean I have to wait for an email to be sure?

No need for an AppleTV there – the BS Theatre has native support for AirPlay

MM

[Millemis]

Correct….maybe apart from being a ‘gateway’ to the setup page of the Playmakers.

All the headphones are in there and they also have no Beolink or multiroom features.
