Oh cool! I wonder whether the body of the beolab 6000 is in white as well. They will sure make very nice speakers in the bathroom.

Hello everyone. I just saw this strange speaker on sale on Dynamism. Wonder what does the star wars like blade lookalike Sony Speaker does. Anyone has any ideas? http://www.dynamism.com/nsa_pf1.shtml

Well I think the using of subpar components and having many compromises in terms of quality in any product is quite unacceptable. Mind you B&O used to be a cult hifi brand before the 90s when the companies finances are in turmoil. So I don't think having heavily compromised components included in their products are part of a "philosophy"

I think the serious problem with B&O is that the products they make are neither here nor there. Look at the Beolab 3s, very ambitious no? But the components they use are subpar and thus not the best miniature loudspeaker out there, and this goes to all of the products in the lineup. They are just not letting themselves be taken seriously. Sure B&O

So I was saying in one of my previous posts, if need be B&O can make an affordable separate control module with a display screen for interface with other brand products that do not have a digital volume control. Regarding costs, if B&W zeppellin can afford a build in DSP I don't see a reason why even the most affordable of B&O loudspeakers

Well RussR. There many ways to do it. Simply switch all the analog components to digital and create an outboard A/D converter like many digital loudspeaker manufacturers do or build an A/D converter in like the BeoLab 5. The thing is many components such as a cd player or a computer have digital outputs and not necessary analog outputs or should I say

Explain to me Alex. How so? Don't just do a hit and run. Integrating a DSP into a loudspeaker's design is greatly beneficial. The more you integrate a sound system, the shorter the signal path, the more the components will be in sync with each other and not to mention the cost savings by doing so. Many professionals are moving on to using digital

Totally. It's so corporate bull.. Where's the spirit for doing something because it will just make the world a better place. There's a thing called karma. Look at Apple, they are one of the first who jumped on the reducing carbon footprint bandwagon and I bet when the carbon footprint figures of their products were published in some magazine

Oh that will be easy. See the current crossovers that B&O use in most of their loudspeakers are active and if you change them to all digital then the space occupied by the DAC will be almost equivalent. Having digital crossovers and digital inputs are not all about convenience, it has a lot to do with sound quality as well. An already good quality

That is all good. But what about actually using clean energy and stating the carbon footprint for each product. I just read from Times magazine that an Ipod mini had only a carbon footprint of 6? Maybe B&O can follow suit.
