Hello Steve, Thank you for trying to help! I'm a big fan of your vids, I watch them regularly.  I wonder how I might contact that pop-up store about their Emerge? I have a task ahead of me, Brian

Something just occurred to me, if I'm able to get the Emerge at Copenhagen Airport (I've sent them an email) will it work in Canada? Is it just a matter of changing the AC cord? Thanks for any help / advice, Brian

Hello, I am a new member here with a small B & O collection and a huge passion for B & O products. I would like to buy an Emerge, do any members know where I might find one? Or does someone have one for sale? Thanks all, B.

They are great speakers. I live in the USA and don’t think they have ever been officially available here. However, somehow, my dealer here in the USA was able to get some a few months ago and I was lucky enough to get his last two.

We don't really have a Bang & Olufsen dealer in Ontario, more specifically in the Toronto area, so going to a dealer isn't an option for me. Does your dealer have any more? Where are you located? Are you thinking of selling one? Brian

No, I do not want to sell them.  I am Illinois but dealer is in Pennsylvania. There are two locations but same dealer. When I got my two they were the last two he had. That was a few months ago. Don’t know if he ever got any more.

(1) To put a finer point on it, the Emerge is believed to be unavailable worldwide because some of the chips it uses are the same as could be put into more expensive products like the Level or the Balance.  Even in Denmark, the black one cannot be ordered from the website, only the more expensive wood one -- and even that availability is quoted as November!  (2) Allegedly Canada imported its stock thru the USA, but even if not anymore, they still suffer the same availability (and pricing) issues.  Emerge isn't visible on the USA version of bang-olufsen.com, so that means Arvato Supply Chain Solutions isn't shipping any to North America.  If it were, I expect the more-expensive one (which will be the only one available, remember) to cost about CDN$ 1100!  How is this possible?!?!  Convert Euro/D.kr average price to USD, no discount despite no VAT, plus add an additional 10%.  Convert that to CDN, plus add another 5%.  Q.E.D.  (3) Bummer about Toronto, really you can't ask "the buyer" at Holt Renfrew, even if you could figure out who that was. As to your potential Copenhagen airport buy, labelling is required by EU law: Just turn any unit over and look at the bottom, for something saying "INPUT ~ 100-240V."  But you don't even need to ask a kiosk attendant: Despite claiming 60watt+30watt+30watt amplification, the Emerge power specs list a USB-C cable!  This means a wall wart power supply, probably a 45-watt USB-PD (USB "Power Distribution" type) unit like comes with the Level.  Its ~100-240 etching is almost invisible, but has international, slide-on, power prongs.  Despite B&O intentionally not supplying multiple plugs, you'll just add a simple adapter to the one they give you, no voltage converter needed.  (Something like the "Kriëger" travel plug, US$ 6.)  Even if I'm wrong and they ship some single-country wall wart, you can buy a USB-PD supply matching the same specs for the higher negotiated voltages.  Just magnify the etchings & you'll see.  Good luck and let us all know how it works out!

That makes sense. I have wondered why they are in such short supply.  I guess I should consider myself very fortunate to have been able to purchase two, of what is no doubt a very small total number of Emerges in the USA. My dealer seems to be good at getting items. When I purchased my 28s a few months ago, somehow he had new, in unopened boxes, black grills that were the limited edition ones for the first 28 pairs of Beolab 28s. I have assumed he sold a pair of the limited edition ones but the buyer did not want the limited edition grills.

So what do your power bricks say on the back for input and output voltages/amps?
