    Re: Goodbye BeoSound 9000 ?

    soundproof:

    I totally agree - I feel that an upgraded BS9000 design, with greater functionality for digital playback, will still have pride of place. While CD-sales are going down, there are lots of CDs out there, and the BS9000 was the closest one got the a "vinyl-feel" in playback of CDs. It's a statement unit, just needs some new wheels.

     

    New design??? what is wrong with the way it is now?

    I agree with the technical UpdateYes -  thumbs up

    I read it as if he wanted the innards changed and a display incorporated to support that digital functionality = a new design

    What it really needs is a 7th disc. I mean come on! It's 2010!!!

    Hope they add HDMI 1.5 

    The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

    Re: Goodbye BeoSound 9000 ?

    LOL, yeah, I'm reminded that the whole purpose of that thing was to have more of your music at the touch of a remote without having to get up and change the album.

    Now, as you say, it's 2010, and what sort of products give us that functionality and convenience x 100? Yup, HDDs, computers and pocketable players.Oh, and to a smaller degree, the BS5 (B&O, please update that thing, for the love of all that's sacred!)

    Re: Goodbye BeoSound 9000 ?

    I'm quite happy with my BeoSound 5 (I'm speaking personally, not as a commentary on those I've sold), but I don't really interact that actively from my link rooms. I know that some would prefer it to function like a Sonos with granular global control, but I just don't see that as a widely adopted user pattern worth fretting over.

    By "new wheels" I meant, in line with the discussion in the thread, that it would be nice with BD/DVD functionality, with the ability to connect to a harddisk with other source material, etc -- there's nothing preventing B&O from turning this into a statement Universal Media Player, without changing anything about the looks.

    I'd be delivering my pre-order this minute if I knew that was in the works.

    Agree!

    And the maximum volume level could go to 100 as well, not only 80!

    Re: Goodbye BeoSound 9000 ?

    So the BeoSound 9000 stays. The sheep were wrong. Anybody for a big Eco Danish Sheep Kebab BBQ Fest in a field, lets say near The Farm in Streuer? Bring your own drinks. The meat is supplied as fresh as can be on location. Free of charge. We'll call Bang & Olufsen to put some Beolab 5 outdoors for party music. Any suggestions what we should play while ''preparing'' the meat? I would say ''Mack The Knife'' by Frank Sinatra, live at The Meadowlands in 1986.

    Re: Goodbye BeoSound 9000 ?

    The sheep could still be right.  It's hardly going to be confirmed by a sales team before it's been anounced, is it?

    If the sheep are right. I sincerely apologise and state that their wool is the best thing since polyester.

    There was not much interest in this:

    But it seems to work.

    I guess it would've created more interest if it had actually described a solution... Smile

    Yes, sure. Agree....
