Re: BeoCenter 2 steel version

Dear All:

I will echo Peter's comment--The 'new' BC 2 audio would have been much more appealing if it were able to play SACD.

I do not understand why B&O cannot provide a player that it is able to play SACD. The argument that it is not as popular is not viable excuse. They made the BV 7 able to play DivX files. How much more popular is it than SACD?

Popularity of the format, in this case, should not be a consideration. OPPO provides a player that can play SACD and much more...

Frustrated...I should not have buy another piece of equipment to play SACD.

Is there anybody who knows the difference between the steel and the aluminium version of the BeoCenter 2 ?
It's impossible to see the difference in the pictures and i never saw the 2 side by side.
I'm planning to buy this unit but i would like to know the difference.
Is it just a question of color (the steel version is darker than the alu for instance...) ?
Has anyone seen the steel version? I was thinking of trading in my MKI version of Beocenter 2 for the new version without DVD. I am hoping Beovision 7 will be released with a Blu-ray player later this year.

I am not sure if I would want to do this. The head unit for both the audio and the DVD versions are the same, it is only the socket unit that differs. I think I would be frustrated if at a later date I wanted to use the DVD and couldn't because the socket unit was essentially disabled.

If the audio unit had an uprated CD drive that could, for instance, play SACD , then I would have considered it.

Hey Linder,

I think you can find some pics on the MediaCenter.

The BC2 "Audio only" version has the "titanium" wheel.

We can see it very well on the pictures.

With a pair of black BeoLab 3, it's very cool !!

The floor stand is amazing, too !

Steph,

The darker color if it has a titanium look would be very cool. I think I want one too.

Thanks Peter.

And i've searched on the forum and some say that the wheel has got a "titanium" color (darker than the alu) and maybe the border too.

On top of that, it's now the MKII version with the acoustic feedback and the new software.

Very cool, i want one !!
