Absolutely spot on!  I have difficulty opening a box of matches & so ripping CDs would be a nightmare.  I'm sticking with my mint Beocentre 9300.

I only hope there will be enough of young generation customers with money prepared to buy this new product as young people do not have lot of money:=(

Although I am beyond 40, still feel young... you buy B&O over time. Just got my BS5/BM5 last weekend and the ease of how it integrates into an existing link system, the ease with which it integrates with your PC... marvellous. I am not a "techie" that's why I enjoy B&O.

On another note. Over the years, I have been working in different countries and have bought my B&O equipment in different cities across Europe. You always get excellent service, there is always a very competent technical support and even when some elements of your B&O equipment are beyond 10 years, they don't show you the scrappage bin...

I think BS5 will sell great, with the regular software updates it will stay up to date.

Customer reactions and sales tell me this was the right move at the right time. I think the opposite of these concerns is true, I think that investing $3-5k in a CD player is feeling a bit short-sighted in these times of wiser purchasing. Audio had all but come to a dead halt until the BeoSound 5 came out. Now it's selling as a stand alone system (which honestly just hasn't been happening very often in this video revolution we're in), and even driving larger audio/video sales instead of the other way around. 

I'm only 18 years old and I study computer science.

So i know how to rip cd's in a "lossless" audio format.

My dealer offered to rip my cd's for me and place them on my beomaster 5!

So I would suggest to kindly ask you're dealer....

I have just Bought a beomaster 5 😁
