I see some of the old values in the Beocom 5's we've purchased recently. Well made, superb sound, good design. However, I still think the quality isn't at the level of older equipment. The keys on the keypad just seem cheap to me. Nothing like the keys on our Beocom 2! No comparison.
Yet the two Beocom 5's were £1000. Considering you can get a fairly decent digital phone for £80 (and that's the top end of the regular market), you would have thought the finish on the Beocom 5's were beyond exceptional. Parts of the phone are (speakerphone), parts are not (keypad).
Not bought anything else since the Beosound 4 a few years ago. The Beosound 5 was my last purchase and that was returned within a couple of months (so isn't a product we had long term). Beosound 5 was well designed, but there were simply too many cables (which were hard to hide away) and the Master wasn't great. For these reasons, the Encore excites me - few cables and wireless link to NAS hard drive, yet well made and a reasonable price.
Will be interesting to see what they do with the Beovision 11.
