Re: Is BeoSound 9000 stll the best B&O audioystem ?

With B&O the amplifiers are in the speakers, so it is likely to be these which will make the most difference in term of sound quality.

Olof:
and can you hear a difference if you use it with BeoLab 3 speakers comparing to mp3 with 320kbit/s ?

Use a lossless compression algorythm if you want to be sure not to lose any quality.

BeoSound 5 if you're ready to dive in head first into digital music. BeoSound 9000 if you're heading into your twilight years and uninterested in this "new media." BeoCenter 2 if you're a masochist. BeoSound 4 if... um... well I'm sure there's a reason around here somewhere. BeoSound 3200 if your love of digital music is matched only by your love of complexity. BeoSound 1 for, well, just about anyone. BeoSound 6 for those who don't know any better. BeoSound 2 for the whimsical. BeoSound 3 for the ultra-whimsical (read: French). BeoDock for, oops, I mean nothing. Nevermind.
Hope this helps.

What about the White Beosound 9000? Is it for designers in their twilight years?

I heard about it from a dealer this summer... Not in details though.

Any time frame that you can tell us about?

I have heard rumours about such a product. Will we know more any time soon?

Hey! Big fan of the BeoSound 4 here!

I'd actually agree with you RE the BeoSound 5 - B&O's best yet, by quite some leap I would say...

No - that is the 1980s Beolab 8000 with a CDX as an add-on ;)

I would recommend BS9000 if you:

- like its design and can't live without it

- have a lot of CDs and prefer listening to several of them at a time (plus your local FM radio) - more than to music files from other sources

- considered well how it functionally fits with the rest of your B&O (perhaps also in the future)

(- ideally, use its dig out to BL5s, which should be logical since you like CDs ...)

Regarding the 320kbs: I could hear the difference compared to CD (a good one and through BL5s) but have to say that I tested it with music I knew very well, and with casual listening am in doubt I would be able to, especially with music I don't know well (- am not that old but getting older - as is BS9000).
