Q: I bought the whole set of the formation speakers. formation dou speakers formation sound bar formation bass formation flex can I use connect them with my tv and I can I use them as a home theatre system

A: The Bar, Bass, and Flex can function together as a home theatre surround system, the Duos sadly cannot. Really a huge oversight on B&W’s part, IMO

Q: I send .mp4 files stored on usb via blueooth to samsung soundbar. If I purchase B&W Formation Duo, I am assuming I can send the same files to them for playing, correct? No need for any equipment hopefully.

A: Yes you can. Formation Duo wirelessly accepts Bluetooth in addition to supporting a range of streaming services. That said, you still need a wireless network in your home (2.4g connection) in order to use the product, even if you will only ever use bluetooth to playback music.

Q: Is possible to connect with LG Oled TV?

A: Your best bet is to use Airplay if your TV supports it or another device like Apple TV with Airplay support. Otherwise you need to purchase the Bowers & Wilkins Formation to connect other Audio sources to these speakers
