They think they can buy a cheap 3000 off eBay for $400 and slap on some wood and have the board checked then mark it up for 30k? It’s literally a kick in the teeth to everyone who kept this company alive for the last 100 years.  I’m horribly unimpressed.

unpair the remote and re-add it.

They have completely lost their minds if they think that price is compelling.

I’d totally be down for a new turntable.

I have a really bad feeling it will just be a colour variant of something they already have on the market OR beolab 5 refurbished and costing 75k

I haven’t used it but people seem to like STB brackets.

I also can’t believe an OLED from 2018 already has problems. My Sony OLED from 2015 is still going strong.  Did you have a lot of static images with logos on your screen a lot? Just curious.

You have a lot of options to choose from but feel free to explore eBay for older B&O speakers as most of them look modern and work great.

I don’t have 2’s but I use Beosound 3’s a rears for my theatre and its more than adequate.  Im thinking of getting some 12.3’s to replace them eventually just to get some more bass in the back.

With the BS2 you would have to use Digital power link which I don’t think a ton of people here have experience using yet.  Personally I worry about wifi interference but I guess that really depends on the individual use case.

If its airplay you can connect to the Apple TV and have the sound play through the theatre from the Apple TV

The Movie Companion.  They have a beosound 3000 hooked up to a Mcintosh and show a close up.

I’ve heard a lot of people complain about the playmaker over the years? What exactly is bad about it?

I let everything do it all on its own as I hear its very accurate measuring distances and the end result sounds great.

They do pop up on eBay pretty often so if you don’t find one here keep checking eBay. 🙂

So I have engineered wooden oak flooring so that maybe an issue it seems? Surely if you wall mount the 28s, the subwoofer will be firing against the walls? Well, I think I have breeze blocks and plasterboards so isn’t as hard as concrete?

Wood floors could be an issue but I can’t say for sure in your case.  If you mount the 28;s on the wall I heard it can have the same problem with it rattling everything in your walls and in between. That means any metal frames could sound like a war happening in there.

I suggest talking your your dealer, if you are set on the 28’s then buy them with the promise you can return them after a month if they don’t work out and then you can get the 18’s.

To me it is either a BS Theatre (with added speakers) or the BS Stage on its own\u2026..at least untill B\u0026O (maybe) rebuilts the Stage and adds processing for surround channels using the Digital Powerlink\/Beolink Surround feature with it.\n\nMM”

I would tend to agree, this solution sounds like a hot audio mess. But we appreciate the suggestion Steve 🙂

People generally think the 18’s look nicer than the 28’s but that’s up to you. Many think the acoustic lens on the 18’s give highs a wider sound stage too.

It also really depends what kind of floor you are putting the speakers on as the 28’s fire bass DOWN into the floor and a lot of people with wood floors have negative experiences with vibrations and distortion.  If you have a solid concrete floor or something like it it should be fine though.

The 19 is fine on many floor types however and you have more flexibility to move it around.

Personally I would do the 18’s and 19 if I was you.

I have a theatre and 18’s with no 19 for bass and I have never complained about the bass level. I use them 90% for TV and movie and it absolutely kills it.

Does it not have to be connected to a BeoMaster 5 though?
