If you already have a wireless network (and your Mac is wireless) then all you need is an Airport Express ($79 as I recall), itunes, and a cable to connect from your B&O Aux to the AE. Works great - in fact, you have have a iPhone or Touch, you can control your play lists (and volume) with it. You can also stream music all over your house. Easy

I have been away from my B&O stuff for a few days, so I have not had a chance to listen to any of the new releases. Has anyone heard and want to comment? What about the mono versions? I cant wait to get home! Kinda getting excited about music again -michael

see the comments regarding B & O starting to fall behind? case in point - clear lack of vision if you disagree, prove otherwise - but the entire world (even Microsoft) is trying to make their products work with Apple/itunes/etc - this would be a freebee for B&O.... and it would not even cost them that much..... such a shame -michael

Actually, that is one of the great things about this forum - there is so much communication and discussion. It is easy to see how a post may fall off the radar if not immediately addressed - but re-post and someone will have something to say.

It was not covered under warranty - this was a few years ago and I had already had it for a few years (could not have been that long since it has not been out that long). The resale issue - while very valid and is appropriate for things like cars - there is no second hand or trade-in market in the United States (short of ebay). Even some of the high

it's not that I hate B&O - I like many on this forum have a love/hate relationship with them. For what they offer, for the prices they charge, and in the current world culture in which they must compete - they need to look at their big picture plans. What may have worked 20-30 years ago and what might work in Europe (or maybe just Denmark) doesnt

When my Beosound 1 went dead 3 years after I bought it, a private repair guy charged me 1/3 of my purchase price to "fix" it (B&O wouldnt even look at it and referred me to him). When my Mom's Beosystem whatever (15 years/old) CD player stopped working - they sold her an adapter to hook up to her Bose wave radio. Yes, my local dealer

Beolab 3500 ($2000) + 2 wireless Beo things ($800/each) = $3600. And not exactly sure what I get - however..... AppleTV ($300) + Airport express ($75 year) and I get much more functionality....... I have not heard anything promising about the Beowireless - just another Beo "black box" that marginally works and no one understands how they work

Since someone brought up Saab - another Scandanavian company that could not (can not?) compete on the World Stage. Sure there products might be great in Europe and many have a love or hate relationship with their design and frankly - their product was just to expensive (to buy and maintain) here in the U.S. I liked the newer ones and my Mother bought
-
I think part of my gripe with B&O is not that they are not offering the latest and greatest (which they clearly are not, and we can debate that until the cows come home) - but their efforts are only 70%. Sure, Apple has a huge market cap - of course pre-iPOD they were about to disappear -but why have the risen from the ashes? They have a slick product
