I think they look cute! (ah, perhaps that's why - guys generally don't want "cute" in their living rooms.)

But wives do ... mine finds the BL9s acceptable in appearance ... but is decidedly against BL5s as they look like Daleks from the Dr Who TV Series.

This despite the fact she lives in a household of Dr Who fans.

So one day I will upgrade from my BL3s (yes they are ugly but she loves the sound) to BL9s :-)

To me the BL 9's are the most beautiful of the ALT range. BL 5's second, BL 3's a distant, distant third. Is it the fact that it resembles a certain Antarctic avian species which causes the polarized opinions? Penguins are lovable birds - I think they look cute! (ah, perhaps that's why - guys generally don't want "cute" in their living rooms.)

I wouldn't mind a couple of pinguins in my living room! :-)

Anyway... really looking forward to the new subwoofer..

I also don't like them.

I'm not keen on the penguins either!

Facelift for the BeoLab 9; they might sound great, but look terrible ...

I hope we will have a new center speaker using ALT. I am using non B&O plasma (pioner to be exact) and I am still thinking of a way mount the Beolab 7-4 so that it will look nice overall.

Per the B&O nomenclature, wouldn't "A21" indicate an item in the accessory range? If this is the case, I would suspect the "BeoSound Lite" to amount to little more than an iPod dock (likely lacking MOTS). Thoughts anyone?

About a year ago, the owner of my dealer told me that there was an iPod dock in developement, he went on to say that it is supposed to include its own amplification/speakers. Perhaps another standalone system similar to the BeoSound 1 or 3?

I'd like to see a new interface for the BeoSound 5 that allows it to connect to a PC or Mac for direct access to its iTunes library without having to use the big, ugly, expensive BeoMaster 5.... and do so wirelessly! I'd buy that for sure!

It's not likely, given the BeoSound 5 without a BeoMaster 5 is just a normal 1024x768 LCD panel with a custom USB 'mouse' built in. It needs to connect to a PC of some sort, and I'd rather rely on something dedicated than having it rely on something else.

With regard to the Spring software update to the BeoSystem 5-

I hope it doesn't require a video link connection to a link tv. In the U.S. we don't have video link.

Yeah but the new 3D tablet from B&O will be wall-mountable, so it will be better than Apple's!

Now I start a new thread asking about if this is true, somebody else will ask for pictures, somebody else will draw them and post them in another thread which turns into a discussion on Beoworld's integrity, while in yet another thread people are angry because nobody tells them a price or a release date. That's the way to do it
