@Peter Pan

Is that girl part of your new setup - something that you want to flash?

MM

She's the girl in the original ad except like the BL12 she has fallen on hard times Big Smile

No way - that was a blond young lady with a huge red cloak, and not that hippiish girlie, that Peter Pan photoshopped.

I guess he found her on one of his trips to the Treasure Island ;-))

But - as you say it - fallen on hard times....as is Peter Pan ;-)))

Peter, I always love your technical solutions and setups!
But there's a "but": Why do you still use a mechanical switch box?
It would be far easier to use a big preamp with enough inputs that can manage all connections AND you can use an IR remote (Beo 4 + Lintronic, or Beo 5, Beo 6). I'm using an old but still great Sony TAE-2000ESD for connection management - and as you can rename all sources, you (and more importantly) the wife can read all sources with real names in the display.

Hello TWG
 
Preamp is not relevant until the day I give up a new BeoVision TV. Yes - thumbs up

Peter, I always love your technical solutions and setups! 

The Peter Pan setup is a typical nerdy oldschool (not talking vintage here) B&O setup.

Just as Aussie Michael Peter Pan loves holes - he has each and everyone occupied ;-)

Maybe you could ask the question, if less is more - when it comes to usability!

Imo you don't have to 'own' every possible solution - especially if you don't need them for your everyday use.

The Peter Pan setup has grown and grown over the years - seems a bit tumorous to me ;-o

Are people still be living that electric cars are better for the environment than regular cars?

Do people think that electricity is less polluting than gasoline?

Electric cars are way better for the environment. First of all they run on renewable energy that we can get for free from the sun and from a lot of sources better than fossil fuels, that we are also running out of and that causes sickness, pollution and also creates a lot of disturbing noises.

I've read studies saying that electric cars pollute more due to being heavier but I strongly disbelieve this fact. And wheels etc can me made to perform better. Most electric cars are designed to be light and to have a low impact from air pressure. Most fossile engine cars is not. A lot of people are driving unnecessary heavy and fuel consuming cars as well.

It's a fact that we must stop using fossile fuels in cars soon. It's really important.

Yes it's a B&O forum and we love posting and looking at products pictures.

I believe it's a B&O enthusiast forum and not a B&O owners forum (limited to Bang and Olufsen owners and excluding BeoPlay products).

Just my opinion.

Cat Millessen as a V1 wich for me is more B&O than Play and Mr W had a Beovision 6.

Even if I had no product at all I would like to be a full member of this site because I love the brand (including Play - A6 headphones are brilliant).

Hey I didn't start the discussion about cars but I feel strongly about the environment so that was my two cents in the discussion about that.

Hi Everyone,

We have bought a new place and I wanted to share my B&O-kit and that in my Gf working space

I probably will forever be stuck in Lewis-era designs... ;)

Thanks for the kind words keynesparis6, good to hear that you like the pictures and products too!

My answer on the BL11 is very positive, both on sound and aesthetic-form, really there is nothing else like it :)

Have used the 11 before in combination with the BL4000 and that made a huge difference soundwise, incomparison when I only had the BL4000 as stand-alone in my audio-setup.

When I tend to play different types of music on the louder volumes I discovererd at times that the Lab4000 had a bit of trouble with the lower frequencies, and began to sound a bit muffled... When I got the Lab11 and combined them suddenly there was much much more clearancy/transparancy in sound, when adding the 11, it began to work like a 3-way speaker system, the Lab 4000 only had to concentrate on the mid and high frequencies, when the Lab11 takes responsibility for the low frequencies, great combo :)

Later I got BL3's and they are an whole other story, when having them combined with the Lab11, a soundwise stunning combination of elegance, versatile in placement, and perfomance, still very content I made that discision, very best combo for me still!.

I saw that you currently have the BL18, those are wonderfull speakers!, I kindly advise to go to a dealer and ask to combine them with the BL11, though the 18's have good bass, I still think the "tulip" can bring forth a little more detailing in sound! :)

Time for a test!

Best,

Miho

Additional thumbs-up! Yes - thumbs up

I've just got to say, these pictures are some of the more enjoyable ones to view (not to discount all the others, of course).

... reminds me of the catalogues of the late 90's - especially the office photo. Your space looks well-lived-in, and not so much 'staged', which I will admit, I have always done to a certain extent, whenever I take photos of my own space.

This is really the epitome of the notion that none the products have to be 'on' in order to be enjoyed.

especially the Beovision/Beocenter 1 photo looks like from a B&O brochure. :-)

Jensen and Lewis where the best for B&O... let's hope the company will find an equivalent replacement.
