Hi there Beoworld.

I'm currently looking at a pair of used beolab 5's (4 years old) with the software 2.61a.

Does anyone know, if there is a big difference between 2.61a and 3.10a?

I can't seem to find anywhere where the different softwares are explained :)

No sound or functional improvements in  SW 3.00a / 3.10a /3.20a (compared to 2.61a)

- Just necessary cause of production / design changes / hardware layout
   (some parts are not any longer available from supplierers)

- Re-design to reduce power consumption in standby - to fulfill EU regulations   

SW 3,xx NOT to be used on older models (series 1.xx and 2,xx)

Okay, that sounds great.

As long as it doesn't affect the sound quality :)

I was wondering if the software limitation above still applies? I recently acquired information from a B&O dealership regarding an update from sw1.6 and the answer was they could be updated to the most recent sw.

Regards!

Why would you want to downgrade?
