Re: How does the Beolab 5 stack up against the top of the line B&W...
Again, nice picture Soundproof. Do you have any thoughts on a preamp being used with Lab 5's as per an earlier comment? I'd like to get my speakers further from the wall but I'm at the limit of the WAF (wife approval factor) at 50cm..... I guess it'll have to do. Ciao

Re: How does the Beolab 5 stack up against the top of the line B&W...
Hi Rauber, I've managed to find a few discussions on the old forum now with arguments going both ways as far these speakers are concerned with some suggesting the 5s are better (a user Soundproof) Have you listened to high resolution files on the lab 5 speakers in a similar environment to the B & W, so apples are compared with apples?

Re: How does the Beolab 5 stack up against the top of the line B&W...
Now thats a comparison! Theres just to many confounders when listening to one set of speakers and then another when time, space and sources are all different. Your memory plays tricks and room acoustics are very important. I was impressed with the detail in one song I heard on the B&Ws compared with the 5s but I suspect that relates to the source material being different. The other the 5s were clearly better to my ears. Thanks for the photo and your opinion Soundproof!

How does the Beolab 5 stack up against the top of the line B&W 800s/802s/Dynaudios etc
Hi there guys, I'm aware that there was a brief discussion comparing beolab 9's with 802s on the old forum. Im interested in getting some fresh opinions on where the lab 5s fit in with other high end speakers. I listend to some 802s today (with expensive amps etc that put their total price at near double the 5s) and I was impressed but not in all aspects. The 5s were better in many ways (i am of course biased) but some of imaging and resolution of the 802s was impressive. Id be interested

Mac firewire out to Lab 5s
Hi Guys, On the old forum I had a thread in which Soundproof gave me some help on how to get a digital signal to my Lab 5s. He suggested an impact twin sound card with fire wire connection from the computer and then an S/PDIF cable to the Lab 5s. I can't seem to play music out fire the fire wire. There must be some simple solution but for some reason my Mac wants to play out through the in built speakers. Done a web search and cant seem to find a solution. Thanks in advance for any help! JR

Anyone using MOG or Spotify?
Just wanting to get some feedback on who's using one of the streaming music programs, the relative benefits of one over another and how you're getting the music to your speakers? Interested in any thoughts and feedback. Cheers JR

Re: Beosound 9000: stand or wallbracket?
No brainer... Vertical wall mounted with hidden cables on an otherwise uncluttered wall. Any other option is pure folly!

Re: Beosound 9000 start volume
I assume you've fixed the issue? If not, just turn it to volume you desire and press OK (on the machine). Next time it starts it will start at your selected volume rather than last volume. Cheers
