>As beautiful as the A18 prototype was, though, it had a problem. Hermansen isn't particularly tech-savvy (he bought his first PC last December), and the controller on his A18 came with just one button, making it difficult to wade through a music library. Hermansen resisted adding more. "For me, it was not natural with all those buttons," he says. He envisioned using the controller with one hand, a glass of wine in the other. "It should be possible to handle the product in a simple way," he argued. In the end, Hermansen reluctantly added another two buttons without harming the integrity of his creation, which hits the market next spring. >

The way that thing looks to me right now is, "he envisioned me walking with a glas of wine across the room to change the music". The dimensions were posted earlier, like a small magazine. It just must come off that podest. And the podest must look good while that thing is off.

BS5?

Do we know the dimensions? and what if the top two promo photos here are of the beomaster and the third is of the beosound?

The BeoSound 9000 had a red button, indicating that it was a mk I edition. Maybe this was a redecorated mk I, or maybe the main switch is returning?

The red button is also visible on picture 89.

Christian,

What was the purpose of the Beosound 6 on the side of the Beovision 4 screen? Great info.

Thanks

I think the purpose of the BeoSound 6 is simply to deliver music to the eating area of the museum. You cannot see it on the picture, but behind the BeoVision 4 there is a mixer for audio, and I guess that all the BeoLab 4's in the area is connected to this mixer. It seemed that the BS6 was connected to the mixer.

Christian >> Thanks for a nice recap of a great day.

Beofan2 >> I am also dissapointed that we did not see a BeoSound 5 in the flesh. Cannot wait anymore, but I have to...

I like the idea of a larger BV8, but I would have also liked to have heard something about a new, larger BV7. I'm fairly indifferent about the Blu-Ray drive on a 40" TV - heck, I'm fairly indifferent about a Blu-Ray drive on any TV. What I'd like, though, is a larger LCD panel from B&O. Has anyone heard rumors of a 46" or 50" LCD from B&O?

My dealer told me today that the next issue of Beobrief (Magazine from B&O Scandinavia) brings an article with BS5. It´s released in week 42. Looking forward to that and some pictures. I was a little disappointed that the generalmeeting didn´t reveal much.

Transcript is up. Again they stress how the Beosound 5 is important for them. I so hope they are not messing this up.

Thanks for the great pictures. I somewhat like the Beolab 9 in white.

It looks like the BS5 is attached to the floor panel on the right side. I am still hoping one can take it off and use it as a 2 way remote. Since the Beomaster will house everything to play the media anything else wouldn't make much sense to me.
