How often do you switch and how quick is it in succession? I used to only be able to do that if I switch too often and too fast, but if i changed it on the BV it was fine and never did that...

hmmm, strange, I'll have a go at it tomorrow and report back to you. Who knows, I may have the same issue but don't encounter it because I don't use them much in that way?!
Begging the Colonel's pardon, why don't you let it wait until Sunday evening? It would make a nice bit of drama -- assuming you can get the mobile videography to your satisfaction (or maybe comedy, if not :-). Surely it would be a respite in the middle of a 2-hour-long show.

Some more sad news to discuss on next podcast, it doesn’t look very good for B&O
https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&nv=1&pto=aue&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://ekstrabladet.dk/nyheder/erhvervsnyheder/bang-olufsen-i-kaempekrise/8118741&usg=ALkJrhgMY212BjWDYw6IOJkOO7sDFqZ5sw
Beovision 7-55 MK1 red, Beolab 10 red. Beolab 50, all black. Beolab 17 broken ice. Beolab transmitter. Apple tv4 and apple express 2.
I would not call it so sad.
A lot of companies in the audio/video tech world are in trouble at the moment.
The former danish (now more chinese, I guess) company Libratone/smart speakers has gone into bankruptcy.
Bang & Olufsen is on an extraordinary general meeting in June asking for new money.....money that already been granted from investors, who by now already are investors.
It seems that they trust B&O to have a future.
You can read about this on the B&O webpage (rather than from some journalist) under ‘investors’.
I was not able to find this text in english - but you can use Google Translate to 'make it' english......if you don’t already understand it.
https://investor.bang-olufsen.com/static-files/80fbfd9b-2bbb-4316-b291-fef350db50be
Here is an excerpt:
’The capital increase is already fully guaranteed, as a number of large Danish institutional investors, including some of our largest Danish shareholders ATP, Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker and the Faerch Foundation, support the capital increase. We appreciate this support for the company, management and the new strategy. The Board of Directors and the Executive Board have also committed to invest in the company by participating in the capital increase and will also temporarily cut 20% in fees and salaries.’
It seems that the board and the directors are quite convinced that there is a future for B&O.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Same here about a second balance, played with my speakers yesterday. Made a group in google, with a beosound 1 and my balance, placed them like a stereo setup. Was so impressed, that I was thinking on asking my dealer to borrow a second balance for a day. To try a real stereo setup. But now I think I’m gonna hold on that though for a while, sadly...
Good news, the beosound A1 gen 2 is bloody amazing!
I did a review obviously and you can find it here: https://youtu.be/FOQ8mXK8XEI

Hi guys,
Here's the link for tomorrow: https://youtu.be/QFFfztSySJI
Same time same bad channel
If there is anything you'd like us to bring up, leave them here or join us live in the chat
Who will be on the show?
I'd be curious to hear more of your thoughts on the Besound A1 and its sound quality, and where you feel it stacks up in Bang & Olufsen's product range compared to both the M3 and P6 speakers.

Wait, did you somehow travel to the U.S. midwest, sub rosa, underneath the quarantine? That saying is almost as old ("U.S. 30 Drag Strip" commercial, 1968), and as distinctly American, a phrase as "begging the colonel's pardon" ("Go Go Gophers" cartoon, 1967-69). Well, this week, your show can be "...Where the Great Ones... Ruuunnnn!(run)(run)" https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122527075 (Click the play button, to hear announcer Jan C. Gabriel scream(scream)(...) the original. Or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDYzidMqq4o if you can take a full 60 seconds of "excitement". Oddly, both he and Go Go Gophers rate Wikipedia entries?!? American cultural hegemony run amok.)
I didn't have to as the Midwest is basically my second home
Mostly Illinois/Wisconsin area
This sunday, Sunday SUNDAY!
Same time, same BeoChannel !!!
8pm Amsterdam time, 7pm UK time, 1pm Central Standard Time!

We're live once more this Sunday/ Now
You did an unpeeling ;-)))
You could discuss this
https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/42604.aspx
I guess many would rather have a GX than a CX with their Stage!
How about yourself....if you had had the chance to choose between these two?

After having spoken with Willie after the last podcast, we have decided to set up a second channel for podcast highlights: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCggiGFl8fvYafbUB9Z5PTWg
I will start to upload there more over the coming time, with some excerpts from the weekly BeoTalk podcast. So if you're interested please consider subscribing to that channel too

This sounds like a fine plan, Miki/Michael. I enjoy the back and forth banter when I have the time, but often when researching I need to cut to the chase and find specifics in the stream of conversation. Thanks for taking the effort.
I see that Henrik has posted a video on the topic of Beosound Shape and subwoofers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klMKOBizMCA&feature=youtu.be
Could this be summarized for English speakers? Is 'subwoofer-ready' a new capability for the Shape? Does Henrik recommend it? Does he find the Shape deficient without a sub? How is the sub managed, e.g. crossover frequency? Is it technically difficult to connect?
