It is very nice to hold. It is not as heavy as you could imagine. The display is very similar to this one used in serene. I like Beo5 very much, you can also see and feel the very good built quality and the fine materials. A great device!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/44537.aspxSat, 08 Sep 2007 01:20:14 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:44537Dave0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/44537.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=44537<p>Have you seen the the Beo 5 &quot;in the metal&quot; yet, Jazz? <img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/05.gif" alt="Wink" /></p><p>I&#39;m looking forward to seeing it when it&#39;s avail.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/44530.aspxFri, 07 Sep 2007 23:11:37 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:44530Calvin0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/44530.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=44530I doubt it would be any worse than a BS2, and that has always seemed fairly stable (and crash resilient)<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/44521.aspxFri, 07 Sep 2007 18:53:35 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:44521Anonymous0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/44521.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=44521<p>Beo5 is bottom heavy, however it will still be a bit precarious to have it sitting upright on the arm of a sofa.

With my Beo4, whilst viewing to TV or listening to the radio etc; it rests most of the time on the arm of the sofa. Surely with the shape of the base of the Beo5 it would be a delicate balancing act with a strong risk of it falling off! <br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>
