The Birdman with the two Lucius singers in a live session from his Live from the Great Room series performing the Velvet Underground song Venus in Furs.

The song can also be found on the tribute album:

I’ll Be Your Mirror – A Tribute To The Velvet Underground & Nico

Unless you overwrite/change the default bas redirection settings, you will have more bas from two BL9 than you can ever get with the BL19.
In some cases you might achieve a better/more uniform bas reproduction in the room by keeping the 19 (e.g. in the back of the room) and by tweaking the redirection settings (have a look at the Technical Sound Guide if you want to dive into this).
However this is not for ‘beginners’ and probably won’t be needed in your rather small room.

Tip!
Be sure to make different Speaker Groups for video and for audio listening (for this also see the Technical Sound Guide).

P.S.

If you don’t need surround and rear speakers in the new room, you could use one set 18’s and the 19 in another with a BS Core or alike.

Thanks. Leaning more and more towards a used Horizon though now. You are right. Horizon even has a sound module and WISA. One question: Is it possible to set it to start always with Apple TV? If so, do the curtains still show and can I still use beolink and googlelink/chromecast? Also, have you tried to connect bluetooth controllers (gamepads) to the Horizon?

———

Sure you can start direct with AppleTV (or rather with a source that is connected to a HDMI input on the Horizon).
You just push the TV button and press List untill AppleTV is in the display of the remote and then ok with middle round button. Or much easier….you use one of the MyButtons for this (including the sound setting you might have made specifically for this source/the ATV).
The curtains – of course – still will open.

Yes, you can use Beolink (NetworkLink), if the Horizon (and your setup) is configured for this.

Not sure what you mean by ‘googlelink/chromecast’?

I have no experience with ‘gamepads’ – probably someone else has. Do you mean controlling the tv or the ATV (for gaming)?

Although I generally am an advocate for having a center speaker in a video setup………in your case – with one viewer, I think that will be alright………as long as you sit in the sweetspot.

Would the 7000 automatically turn on of a source was selected on the Core? This is if the speakers are connected to the 7000 and Core connected via Tape. But then I lose the Tape…

No, the 7000 won’t turn on in that case.

When the speakers are connected to the Core (and the 7000 to the line in of the Core), this will turn on, when you e.g. start a CD on the 7000.

As Steve says, set the 7000 to approx 70-80 % and leve it there. Then control the volume via the Core…..you’ll probably end off using the sources of the Core most anyway.

In your case try both ways to see what suits you best ?

That is definitely a MK1 (the best ?).

Means no bluetooth there!

You could however, use the A/V input with the right adapter cable to connect a BT receiver of some kind…

……or even better get a Essence MK2 or a Core and (link/) integrate that with the Avant. This way you’d have BT and more turning the BV on when you start the playback.

You could do a (google) search for Avant MK1 and Avant NG.

If you’d post a picture of the main menu, we’d know —— the MK1 has the menus on the left side of the screen and the NG has the menu items horizontal at the bottom with the access to the ‘smart’ functions etc.

Which remote do you use?

MM

[Millemis]

Could you please state which version (MK1 or NG), you have.

Are you sure that you refer to the right user guide?

Hi Kiran, Which speakers are you using please? It is often simpler to link the Core as an input to the 7000 via the Tape socket and connect the speakers to the 7000. Please feel free to email me and I can help with the best option for your needs. Kind regards, Steve

Indeed that would be my advice too!

Hi Everyone Thanks for the advice. MM, the Aux/TV port is unfortunately an input.

Are you sure/did you try it?

That port used to be the connection to a compatiple BV ..….and this works both ways.

P.S.

It is very long ago that I used it this way ?

MM

How about trying the Aux/Tv port!

MM

Since you write about ‘a changed mainboard’, I assume that you have a MK1 version.

In that case it is very easy to answer – altough you might not be pleased – there is no bluetooth support whatsoever on that tv!

Furthermore there is no option anymore to rearrange your products in the startpage – means which one you want to appear first, second etc. Today I added an M3, which I definitely won’t use that much. This was placed at the top and can not be moved further down like with the regular app versions. A bug or a deliberate choice of the app team???

For me on my iPhone I am able to rearrange the products on the startpage.

With the latest beta on the iPhone you cannot change the order on the start page but when you go to Settings and then Products there is an Edit button that allows you to rearrange the order. Something that annoyed me for a long time is that you cannot rearrange your B&O favourite stations. This is especially annoying because new stations are added to the beginning of the list.

———

Since the beta update yesterday rearranging of the products (I am on an iPad) now works again (thank you app team).

As for rearranging radio stations – if you use the builtin TuneIn service, you must rearrange your favourites in the TuneIn app. I do not know how it works with the B&O Radio, but I sure hope that it is/will be possible to rearrange directly in the app .

Just received and installed the new beta update.

This brought no changes to what I posted on monday.

The black theme (for the player) looks nice.

When the source is activated, pushing MENU on the beoremote should bring up a menu on the left screen side, that shows you which button should be used for which original functions.

Listening to the John Mellencamp album ‘Life, Death, Love and Freedom’, which came out in 2008.

It was produced by T-Bone Burnett, who is known for striving for a more analog sound in his productions. At this time he has developed a ‘new format’ called ΧΟΔΕ (or Code).

‘Burnett has started a new venture called Code, which aims to do for music what THX did for
movie-theater sound: set standards that ensure the best possible quality. The first Code album, John Mellencamp’s Life, Death, Love and Freedom (which Burnett produced), will be released July 15th in a two-disc package: a standard CD and an audio-only DVD with superior sound quality that will play on any standard DVD player.’

Actually this was nothing but a 24/96 version, which could not fit into the redbook format of the CD and therefore they had to use a DVD.

This format did not have a long life – nowadays T-Bone Burnett has a new idea – have a look here: https://www.techhive.com/article/694417/t-bone-burnett-promises-a-new-analog-audio-format-for-an-upcoming-dylan-release.html

I am not sure that I can hear any difference to the regular CD. However, the recording is excellent…….Burnett knows how to record and he avoids compression etc in the mastering.

And the music by John Mellencamp is very enjoyable – like always…….he is one of my log time favourites.

Not that I think this will help/solve your problem…

I can’t play anything B&O Radio here, but BBC6 plays fine from the built-in TuneIn (supposed this is what you are looking for).

And BB6 shows up in the B&O Radio part, even if my M3 can’t play B&O Radio.

Maybe this can help in your ‘communication’ with the support ?

Just one more thing in order to better understand how the setup will work.

The Passive is a device, that can be used in different ways.
For your purpose it is ‘just’ an amplifier that drives your passive speakers.

The sound signal (and the needed turn on/off commands) comes through the Powerlink MK2 cable – only one is needed.

All controlling is done in the Ouverture directly or via the ir sensor there with a B&O remote.

Further on I noticed today, because of MM post, a same, but lesser, effect on the latest official release (but than on the grey letters). @MM, one of your devices seems the be in for a sw update

——— ———

Yes, and so the title says….I just wanted to revive this subject/thread.

Of course I have reported this – I wanted to create awareness of this amongst the forum members.

I don’t mind the new font, if they are in for a change, so be it ?

However, I did not really see a need for it.

What bothers me is that the change here has caused bad text layout (at least on my iPad).

And no, all my devices are uptodate (of course) – it probably is because I did not configure Deezer, since I don’t use it.
