For me, my BeoSound 5/BeoMaster 5 has become an integral part of my home. In the morning, the music follows me into the kitchen to make espresso, into the shower via link speakers in the bathroom, and into the bedroom via the B&amp;O tv as I dress in the morning. To me, this is how the MOTS functionality really shines: the BeoSound generates a background soundtrack in the home.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/342766.aspxThu, 20 Oct 2011 00:38:38 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:342766Nio0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/342766.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=53&PostID=342766<p>I wanna buy a BeoVision in about 1-2 years.
