I don't think it is worth it. You may decide to upgrade it much later in the future though, as there is likely to be a much bigger leap in performance. Liken it to upgrading your computer every time there is a slight increase, just not worth it. As soundproof says, the money would be much better spent on improving other things. Maybe if you're interested

Really? I've found that the BeoLab 9s don't perform to their full bass potential when using the BeoLab 1 setting. Maybe I'm imagining things? It would be good if you could do a comparison...

I envy you greatly! I would love a BeoSystem 2500 such as that to listen to outdoors (not that it would last long in the weather we had yesterday, beautiful weather today!). the only thing I have to listen to is my Tivoli iPal, which is great, but not quite B&O

Marc is that your system? Beautiful!

I feel the behaviour on this forum is actually much much better than other forums I visit. Maybe a rating system for people with post counts higher than 100? That way we can be sure that people won't get shot down before they get a grip on what the forum is really like.

Agreed! I see two-way communication as more of a gadget than a real benefit, although with a system as advanced as the 7000, it may be a benefit, with being able to control lights and advanced timers etc...

There was a way of doing it, as the Beo5 has no bluetooth, same as all other remotes. However, the solution was pretty clumsy and involved the signals travelling through a PC, which had a bluetooth adapter and IR receiver connected.

Agreed! Nothing is as simple (yet advanced under the skin) as B&O. However, they are falling down in certain areas.

You've already given two of the solutions, but the 'official' B&O ones would be: 1. Use a 'BeoPort', a device which connects to the USB on your computer. You would need to download a 3rd party piece of software to run it on a Mac, but it's actually better in the end. The software is called 'BM-Link'. This allows you to control iTunes as if it's a B&O

Wait for the update, it'll be worth it visually, as well as sonically if they keep the same sound processor used in the BeoSystem 3 (which I guess they will).
