wow i was JUST thinking today how nice an orange B&O product would be... nice! Yes i'm liking the sounds of these new changes, and also the demise of products like serene and beosound 6 - THANK goodness we are getting back on track! (even though i love my serene)

I agree with Razlaw and Shatner, value is in the eye of the beholder.

I'd like to think it will look a little better than that...

Yes it is... hmmm probably not in terms of performance and definitely not in design. Nope! However it IS better than B&o when you look at what you get for the money. It's around 15000 pounds here... for a telly, that's excessive i think - but hey if you're the owner of a cigarette company, WHY NOT EH?

perhaps go in to the technical part of the forum! :) Go to the start of the forums where there is the list of forums, then select 'the workbench' i'm sure someone can provide the answers there...

I strongly disagree. Any manufacturer can make a rectangle, B&o have done the best anyone could do with a rectangle, and the new thicker frame looks SO much nicer - and in proportion to the screen as a whole. Time will tell who is right, but B&O (or David Lewis) has a history for designing things ahead of the times. Long live the new shiny frame

It sounds like something in the electronic circuits has shorted out! Take it to a B&o technician, and it hopefully won't be an expensive repair... you wouldn't think so really.

this is where you get to use average earphones and appreciate the brilliance of B&o sound again ;) I had my main beolabs out of action and the a8's gone for 8 days, and it was hell. now they are back to normal and wow i'm appreciating the sound all over again

This has happened to me twice to my a8's, TWICE! Hehe i just got my pair back today actually after getting the cable replaced, just barely under warranty. But the fix is cheap, only about 35 pounds.

how funny! :D i stuff it in my lap whilst pressing the buttons... why couldn't they they have made it exit & list instead... oh well ;)
