    Step 1: REPLACE THE LAN CABLE

    Just design I would NOT call the Theatre Average at all. Its pretty spectacular.

    Personally I would also not touch the harmony as the screen is built in and is the first thing to go outdated or broken.

    When we got the whole thing open, we were in for an even bigger surprise: turns out the Beoplay Eleven is an exact copy of the three year-old, $400 Beoplay EX! There are some key software changes and the microphones have been upgraded to better deliver ANC performance—but that’s it. Everything else inside these buds is a carbon copy. Even the peel-away film on the rear of each earbud says “Beoplay EX”—not “Beoplay Eleven.”

    This last point is for you hardware nerds. You might be surprised (or not), but the hardware inside the Beoplay Eleven doesn’t scream premium. Quite the opposite, from the control board to the wiring, a side by side comparison of the Beoplay Eleven buds and the Airpods 4 buds show how far behind the Beoplay Eleven is in terms of hardware design.

    Hello,

    Yes I have 18’s in the front and BL3’s in the back.  Luckily when you have the Theatre you get rid of any receiver as the theatre handles it all.  Its so much more seamless than using separate receivers and power amplifiers.

    I had the same issue with the 18’s when connected to a Marantz Receiver connected directly without the transmitter.  I basically had to run the calibration over and over and eventually they wouldn’t time out before the Audessey finished.

    The whole timing out during a movie never really happened to me though. That must be frustrating.

    I had this setup for years and it worked great. But when I got my BS Theatre the 18’s sounded 10x better than they ever did hooked up to the Marantz system. So if it’s in your budget you might want to consider it. Plus you can get rid of the transmitter too.

    I got the Theatre when it first came out and I connected it to a pair of BL18’s in the front and BL3’s in the back.  Its bliss, you won’t regret it.

    I also get this message (your Bang & Olufsen Product has been disconnected…) several times a day on my Beosound Theatre connected to a LG G3 OLED TV. Very annoying because the Beoremote One gets disconnected from the LG. The B&O app on the TV tries to reconnect the Theatre every 30 Seconds without success. Pulling the mains plug for 10 seconds solves the situation however, only for a short time. I opended tickets with B&O and LG but no solution was given yet. No I called the local B&O dealer for assistance because my setup is still brand new, installed last May. I suggest a HW bug in the LG OLED G3 or the LAN cable from Theatre to LG TV is not well shielded. I use the latest beta firmware in the Theatre and the latest LG SW update.

    Replace the LAN cable. I have the same setup with zero issues with any firmware in the Theatre or the LG.

    I think this is more than simply a bad cable

    Think or guess?   Either way it’s a really quick and easy thing to test and Im sure B&O would suggest the same right away.

    I do not want to work with a separate app just to control this product. Does it have any advantages to just connecting an essence or a core to your product? thats what I did with my 9000 and it works great.

    Hard to tell if has advantages before the product is fully developed and being used. I think the idea from the developers is to keep ML products alive with streaming possibilities more than being used together with NL products

    Clearly even harder to sell a product or get funding on kickstarter before the product is fully developed and being used.

    First try replacing the HDMI cable that might fix everything.  I don’t see any widespread reports of Stage owners experiencing this so I wouldn’t be so quick to say B&O is garbage.

    in reply to: Beolab 18 – whats necessary for a B&O Newbie #61346

    if you get an essence it has two Power link ports. You can connect the 18s to one port, and then the 19 to the other port just run a cable around the room along the floorboards and this way you can avoid having to get the expensive transmitter.

    Welcome to the forum!

    I commenced my audio setup with B&O On BL18 speakers and connected them to a Marantz receiver for several years. The system performed well.

    Firstly, I recommend avoiding wireless connectivity if possible. Looking at the provided image, it appears that running cables to the cabinet is a straightforward option. Wireless connectivity would incur additional costs and introduce potential reliability issues.

    An alternative solution is to consider purchasing a Beosound Essence Mk 2 speaker and connecting it directly to the BL18 speakers using power link cables (Cat7 Shielded Ethernet). This option offers a more cost-effective alternative to either the new or old core speakers. While the new core is touted for its superior sound processing capabilities, the decision to upgrade ultimately lies with you.

    With the Essence Mk 2, you gain access to AirPlay 2, internet radio, Spotify, and the ability to connect a CD player or turntable and the firmware is still being updated.

    For a more immersive experience, you could opt for a Beosound Theatre speaker system. This system allows for wireless or wired connectivity, as I personally chose. The Theatre system delivered an exceptional listening experience.

    It is important to note that if you opt for a third-party receiver, you will lose the ability to control the sound using the B&O app. Given your potential future involvement with B&O products, it would be advantageous to integrate all components into a single application that seamlessly integrates with room sharing and automation features.

    Just an FYI for anyone with a Mac with apple silicon can run the iPad version of the B&O app on their Mac Desktop/laptop etc with all the same features as the iPad app.  Been working great for me for years.

    How does it look from the top down, though? Is there a significant gap between the wood and the metal? The others I’ve seen appeared to be poorly fitted.

    Not sure Sub Left/right makes much sense as they are both in the dead centre. Maybe list them both to be Sub/centre and the Beolab 2 to Sub left or right.
