hi, what is the difference between the beomaster 3000 versus the beomaster 3000-2. i've read about technical improvements?!? which one is more rare and more worth? i guess the beomaster 3000 is more rare. thanks for your advice dario

congratulation to your excellent rebuilding work... this is a really constructive thread. i like it. ;-)

thanks mobeyone and dave, the best thing is, the ipad is nearly the same size like the display of the original beosound 5 system... ;-) i agree with you, the concept has almost no chance to realize by b&o... unfortunately. maybe the beosound 5 light will have a demountable display to use it as a portable remote. that would be great. maybe it's

[quote user="Tomaz"] there is no need for the wheel itself. For example ,in the app store there are plenty of DJ apps where you can spin a virtuel vinyl. thanks to the multi touch a very nice experience... [/quote] right... but my concept is, if the ipad is connected to the beosound 5, you can use the wheel for navigation. so you'll have

[quote user="cooldude"] However I do like the idea of the plug-in charger dock with B&O scroll wheel and its versatility very much. At least the ipad will have a proper dock to go back to. [/quote] exactly! the plug-and-play connection is so simple with ipads 30pin connector...

[quote user="Chrisreunion"] I guess your clever concept should have been the true...Beo 5? , namely a 2-way remote control panel like in the old days..maybe with the addition of a headphone output for true portability around the house? [/quote] i had a beosystem 4500 incl. beolink 7000 and 5000. nice and seminal system indeed... ;-)

[quote user="cooldude"] I love the idea !! I guess that's kind of what we were hoping for when it BS5 originally launched. [/quote] thanks cooldude, maybe we can hope for a redesign? ;-)

[quote user="soundproof"] Nice - suddenly, the BeoSound 5 would make a lot of sense, being fixed and portable, providing fully integrated "through-the-home" control of one's B&O. [/quote] that was one of several reasons why i don't buy a beosound 5 system. remember the beolink 7000?

[quote user="PhilLondon"]The great thing would be that you could detach the iPad and use it as a wireless remote, and then dock it to charge it. [/quote] exactly that was the idea behind the concept and also to exploit synergies from different company leaders. b&o build also tailer-made car sound systems for aston martin and audi. why
