Hi. Unfortunately, I don’t know more about this solution than is stated on the website I linked to above and from speaking to the store last week. You would need to call or e-mail them to find out more.

But yes indeed, they seem to provide the “missing link”. I sense a lot of people, at least amongst my group of friends, would love to buy B&O but are put off when it doesn’t integrate with other brands. For me, it’s quite easy – I will buy the Beolab 18+19 if it works with a non-B&O-TV, otherwise I simply won’t buy B&O at all, and B&O just lost EUR 15,000 of turnover on me alone.

To my knowledge, the box that converts Beoremote signals readable by the LG OLED is developed by the firm that sells it, not by B&O. As far as I can tell, it is a stand-alone box that simply converts (“translates”) signals, i.e. there are no connections as such except a power connection.

Moreover, according to its website, the company also produces boxes which enables connecting non-B&O TVs wirelessly to Beolab speakers, including in a surround sound set-up. Very exciting – hope the B&O “ecosystem” shows more entrepreneurial spirit like that to address what is B&O’s biggest akillesheal, lack of compatibility with other brands.

It it possible to include two Beolab 19s with Beolab 18s set-up? Will it improve the bass noticeably? Alternatively, will a Beolab 2 be better/more powerful than a Beolab 19?
