Merry Christmas and thanks for the replies... actually I'm starting to appreciate the "value" of the bs5 more now that I reading about it.

Thank you for your sharing your thoughts. I really want it to like it and I do in some ways. But please tell me, I understand and I don't expect it to be like a sooloos or else. It's a B&O. I do t care for playlists, I never made one. I don't want to use the computer but it reasures me if I know that moving flacs from my nas to the bs5

Genre... Maybe you right, I don't remember what the selections where... That's another thing, I didn't have my reading glasses. I asked whether the font could be enlarged a little, and she said no. So, there is no way to browse by folders either. Agrrrr.....

Beojeff, thanks for your replies. 3 out of 5 is not that bad... it would be nice thou, to be able to stream from online music service, like spotify. I hope they do so.

Moxxey, thanks for the reply. my understanding is that the encore has no digital out, my desire is to go digital all the way.

Well, at first I didn't think I would have considered the combo, I'm still skeptical and that's thus I'm here asking... I welcome opinions.

Hello, I have been enjoying my Beolab 5s immensely. They are wonderful! I didn't think I could have ever expected to replicate music so real my living room... And, I have had my dose of "audiophile" speakers in the past, these are not mambo jumbo, they are real!! Now, I would like to preserve the best sound I can, while using a more civilized
