All that talk about beosound 6 makes me wonder what Beosound 5 is.

Isn't this the rumoured new super sound system which will become the perfect setup alongside the BL5s?

Supposed to be - with transparent aluminium!!

Oh. Is it that kind of rumour then? Sounds a bit like the rumour that the BeoSound 6 was going to look great!

There were some technical papers available showing how they plan to do it. Essentially they make the aluminium very thin but then have tiny pores in it so you can have touch sensitive areas that light up. Very clever and this will come!

The development of transparent aluminium was inevitable after Scotty's visit to San Francisco in 1986.

This is reminiscent of asking a new member of staff to go and fetch a skyhook from the store room

Along with--
1  Glass hammer
2  Tartan paint
3  Elbow grease
4  Long stand (That was me)
5  Bucket of steam
6  Rubber nails

Oh well, not that I've got enough money for a system like that, then again I'm more than happy with my ever conservative BS3200, If it's taking it's design ques from their new direction (like the BV8) I think it'll just go to confirm that well known saying "more money than sense", or taste!

Most of my friends say I have more money than sense when they see my Ouverture or even BS1. It's a personal thing I guess which is why I don't tell me friends how much I paid for my B&O, if they're so interested, then they can go to the shop, but I have to say that this transparent aluminium that's touch sensitive and with some sort of backlight sounds fantastic! Nice to see B&O are taking new designs seriously again.

Actually I'm pretty sure transparent (micro-perforated) aluminium already exists in the market - it's used on the instrument panel of Aston Martin's DB9 and (I think) V8.  Someone can probably confirm or correct this?

Does that mean its "waaferrr" thin??

What's the difference with the aluminium on the BeoCenter 2?

Most of mine friends do not understand the pasion of B&O, can not tell them... it is a feeling....... but I have one thing that not many of you have, my wife loves B&O as much as I do.........(ooooooohhhhhhh I love here!!!

My partner also loves B&O (not as much as me but enough to chip in) when going B&O shopping :D 

Any rumours when the BS5 has to be launched?

This is the most secretive new product in a while...usually SOMEONE knows something!!

 

 

Come on, spill the beans! 

Peter seems to know something..........!

Lets wait for him after school and beat it out of him.

Who helps?

After we have seen the BS6, this really is scarry... Suppose B&O really pulled something like that off, like they did with the beocenter 2200. Man, are we going to be cross..

I hope the BS5 will be high end, something that can justify the price tag.
