Slightly unfair! 

Lets put Beoworld to the test then and see who posts the first photo.

Thanks Sappo. I am happy to be wrong this time.

Well based on the look of the Beosound 5, I would say the wait has been worth it. Lets hope it performs as well as it looks.

Sits firmly on the fence... but I have to say that first impressions do last.. and I have to say I am not impressed.

I hope that large black slab is a touch screen!

I think it does look stunning. But lets hope there is some innovation in the GUI.

Otherwise might as well just spend £180 on an Apple itouch.

No touchscreen at all. I think we have to use those steering wheels

True - but let us not judge till we have experienced it.

Wow. I have to say this is a bit of a tragedy. Had I not seen a few of these in the flesh already I may have been equally anxious to glimpse one, but these pictures are about as unflattering as could be rendered of the sexiest audio master since the 9000 (BeoCenter, that is).

I would say that if you are on the fence over the looks after seeing this image, worry not. The "spirit" is not captured here and "spirit" is why we're all here and not on the Harmon-Kardon forums. 

And after using those "steering wheels" I've never cared less about Touch.
