    Re: Who orderd a BS 5?

    Okay I am convinced!  I am going to visit my local B&O dealer today and place an order for a Beosound 5 or at least ask that I be put on the waiting list.  I will be using BS5 with a Beocenter 2.  I was going to sell my BC2 but I like the design and decided to keep it.  However I will have a Beomedia 1 to sell which I will post on Beoworld.

    I have been using iTunes extensively which will means I have a lot of file copying to do.  I am convinced that digital is here to stay.

    Stefan my ticket is for Kolding too. I agree that the pic reveals what we have seen, but nice.

    Maybe we can have a little Beoworld meeting in Kolding...? Will there be any other members? And will this be the first event (besides Copenhagen)?

    There has been some unconfirmed rumours that the BM1 could be used with BS5 instead of a BM5... So wait until the specs are released before selling it.

    That's nearly £4000. Is it only me that thinks that's very expensive?

    No. Me too. But if the BS5 is the same in Beosound range as it is BL5 for the Beolab range it is ok for me.

    Thanks.  I hope those rumors are true.

     

    I was told by B&O several months ago to expect the price to be between $5000 and $6000 USD.  I should have known they meant the higher price.  I guess its like buying a Beosound 9000 in a sense.

    I think 'the rumour isn't true,because many people on the forum have comfired it isn't compatible.

    Re: Who orderd a BS 5?

    This is interresting. The events in Sweden are planned for dates all before the 11:th. :) (http://www.beoevent.se).

    The one I'm invited to  is onm the 6:th of November. Will try to get some pictures from the event and "beat" the world wide launch planned for the 11:th.. :)

    On the subject of if/when to buy - I still haven't heard anything else (except for its ability to play digital music, which I belive most of us already have setups to do, AppleTV, Apple AirportExpress, Sonus, etc. etc. etc.) that the BS5 does? Anyone? Kind of wierd to release a "digital musicplayer" for some €4500 in the year of 2009 (i.m.h.o).

    Re: Who orderd a BS 5?

    It's not just 'a fancy MP3 player'. Apple TV is just like any other system out there, you scroll through a list of music with a mediocre-at-best remote and press 'go'. BeoSound 5 is nothing like this!

    It's also a hifi product in the truest sense of the word.

    Re: Who orderd a BS 5?

    I believe that pics will be posted after the first event in Gothenborg at november 4 or am I wrong.

    Steph the pic you see in the link is the same at my invitation but not bad!

    Re: Who orderd a BS 5?

    At first I was very excited about BeoSound 5, now I'm only wondering what BeoMaster 5 will be, because for me BS5 has one major flaw: it is designed only for right-handed people!Sad

    All the controls are made with the wheel, and the wheel is on the right-hand side, and as far as I can remember, it is the first time B&O releases something that's asymetrical & completely impossible to use of you are left-handed..I would be surprised if they released another version for left-handed people, like they did with all the EarsetsStick out tongue

    Reunion Island is greeting you!

    $6000 is £3800. Let's see what it's like when it's in-store. Only 3 weeks before we can preview it, live!

    I hope the BM5 part isn't like the BC2 socket box. I didn't look at the tech specs and bought one from my dealer last week. Was surprised how big the socket box is and how hard it is to hide it :(
