the beosound 9000 makes friends and visitors go "wowwwwww, that is so cool !!" when they see that clamp fly up and down. i'm not convinced that the beosound 5 is anywhere near as impressive. if you're not into hifi or b&o i wonder if it looks like a fancy central heating control or a fancy light switch from a distance - that's

i know the beosound 9000 makes friends and visitors go "wowwwwww!" when they see that clamp fly up and down. i'm not convinced that the beosound 5 is anywhere near as impressive. if you're not into hifi or b&o i wonder if it looks like a fancy central heating control or a fancy light switch...!

steph, THANK YOU for posting and letting me know. so you were in my boat and have no regrets. is yours desk top or stand mounted?? i just saw the beosound in the flesh and i am deeply impressed with the unit. it is smaller than i thought. my only thought is that part of the design is seeing machines moving elegantly - the clamp of the bs9000 and the

was having a further think. just spoken to a mate who worked at the BBC in London and CDs are steadily on the way out for sure (he thinks more and more record stores will become obsolete )and although he's not a fan of B&o like me has recommended i get the sound 5 soonish. i think there are some reasons i can identify: 1. trading up or part

thanks peter! that's great. :-)

i know this sounds a bit silly but i think you should just go with one you like the best in terms of features you want and the looks. i have been thinking about trading my Sound 9000 for a Bc2 because it has more modern features but then i love CDs and despite slowed down sales they sound fantastic and will be around for another 10-20 years i'm
