I like my 2 pairs of 3s. It's not as pretty but I love it's sound Though I would prefer the 5s for the front of course but that's another lifetime ago.... I wonder if a single 3 would be a good central speaker...

I'm glad you guys had better luck with your Beosound 3. They apparently swap the pad to the new design on the second repair but within the year it failed again and B&O ended up giving me a new unit after they kept it in service department for 2 months and lost it. I'm not too sure about looking after me, each time I get it repaired they

Hi there, I have a Beosound 3 that had its warranty expired in 2010 - yes it's old. It's been on my bedside table since I bought it and no where else -serving as my bedroom radio and alarm clock. Since I had it, it's been serviced 3 times with the touch pad been the cause of the problem each time. I have been very careful with it and never

Sounds very promising, thanks for the heads up guys. I'm curious, what do you think of the sound from the BeoLit 12 sound in comparison to the Beosound 3? I have the Beosound 3 but would like to get the BeoLit 12 to use with our iphones (and others using the audio in) in the outdoors. My daughter loves music and this would be great way to bring

This looks very promising, in fact once I get my hands on a real sample I think there's a very good chance its going home with me It looks far better than the leaks I wonder whether the audio quality is as good as BeoSound 8, if its close to it then this is a no brainer. Its nice to be able to carry around a nice speaker for picnics and traveling

Russ - perhaps a trip to CES 2012 is in order for you While you are there you could also have a look at the 4k panel http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/28/lg-unveils-84-inch-ultra-definition-4k-tv-its-bringing-to-ces/ I've seen the current largest OLED in the flesh and I can tell you it knocks the socks off any current plasma or LED/LCD TVs. There

I agree with Chris, it be wonderful if B&O could build a modular platform where that could upgrade the panel and source as new tech comes along. I'd be willing to buy an OLED BeoVision 4 85" knowing that down the track I can upgrade whenever new tech comes along I don't know about you guys, its hard for me to justify AUD 33k (or 100k

It's very interesting news. Will have to see it in real life but its going to have a tough time ahead, LG has just confirm that they plan to introduce a 55" OLED TV at CES 2012. Visual display tech is definitely moving into interesting times ahead . Lets hope B&O releases the BeoVision soon and not drop the ball on actual delivery date

erandlux - thanks for your prompt answer. I was about to get a white Beosound 5 Encore as a nice Christmas gift to myself until this. Honestly, I love the fact that Beosound 5 Encore has a beautiful physical front end and works with modern non B&O storage solutions (NAS etc). I'm afraid I'm in the same boat with mbee - ie no Beosound 5 Encore

Hi all, Just out of interest, does anyone know if the Beosound 5/5 Encore is able to play 24bit/192kHz FLAC files (eg files from Linn Records) Cheers BillC
