[quote user="elephant"] and even "betterer" would be if you can take the BS8's remote and use it for simple functions on the rest of your B&O kit ... [/quote] It's too basic for that. How would it know what to control? With the Beo 4 you have to choose a special mode to control the BS8. The BS8 control doesn't do

One thing I would add - and I pointed this out to my dealer today - is that the stores do look dated. They are starting to look a bit long-in-the-tooth, to me. Worse, my local dealer has an Avant in the window. An Avant! Two windows, one used for a pre-loved Avant. I still think they need to push on with the catalogue and make it much more lifestyle

[quote user="Paul Winn"] Oww wow nice one Moxxey I definately think you've made a good decision over the toilet BS5 :) Don't forget there is also a tone setting of 3 options that will appear on your iPod/iPhone as well as the usual Apple sound settings! So dude, it is really clear as in good treble? Im still a bit scared to buy one

[quote user="mediabobny"] Pg 6 of the instruction manual located here on Beoworld. [/quote] Ok. I'm an idiot. For some reason I overlooked that diagram and the switch is so small, it's too easy to miss. So...it's much better. Much better. Sound is superb. I also didn't realise you can also control it via your Beo 4 remote.

[quote user="rednik"] I'm not sure if the smiley at the end indicates something, or if you genuinely haven't found the switch for corner/wall/free? [/quote] No, I didn't know one exists? It's not in the instructions and, frankly, only had a quick look. Does it exist? The instructions are very very basic!

[quote user="mbee"] Ok, it's not a really good solution as you need an iThing with Airfoil Speaker plugged in the Beosound 8... But it's way better than an AE, and not as complicated as AE+DAC. I never thought about this solution. Well done! But it's still a kind of "DIY trick" on a €1000 dock :-/[/quote] Airfoil

Spent the last couple of months debating between an Encore and the Beosound 8. Took the plunge this morning and went for a Beosound 8, which my dealer kindly dropped off any my house this afternoon (it actually comes in a cool Apple-esque carryable box, but it was a tad heavy to walk a couple of miles back from my dealer). As B&O PR are on my back

[quote user="Chris"] I beleive what you say about it being a so called lesser quality, but the brutal thruth is it was the best i have yet to hear [/quote] Uncompressed or HD audio from a Blu-ray is going to be the best you'll get (mind you, that's if your Blu-ray BV7-40 can decode the audio, but that's a different discussion in

[quote user="Chris"] If you look at photography and its revolution within the digital market, companies like Leica have never looked back, or taken so many pictures [/quote] Big difference here though is that your choice of photos - whatever the camera - isn't affected by the industry. ie. people who want to take top quality images will

[quote user="Roger"] My point: if B&O will remain true to sound/accoustics how can this blend with Apple? At the BeoSound 8 market segment... [/quote] Going forward, production is now aimed at the iPod generation and compresion is rather obvious. Most modern music is created in a way that sounds far better through headphones. That's
