I love them, but why on earth would you provide an analogue line-in using a USB socket? What next? Mains in via an 8 pin DIN socket?!Is there an advantage to this that I don't see? Does USB C need less space than a 3.5mm jack and space is the issue? In order to connect my turntable to the Theatre I need that USB dongle which has caused issues in the past. I need to occasionally re-seat" the connections in order for it to work properly. I wish I could just plug my phono cable's 3.5mm jack directly into the Theatre.

Sonos have done the same on their latest speakers too - not sure if there is some industry wide thing going on to prompt numerous manufacturers down this route.
I think its something to do with the name......."USB". Something universal about it so it can do many things in different ways. That is unless you need it to do something to an Apple device that is
If it is becoming a standard then maybe I will be able to find a good rca to usb c interconnect cable so I don't need that dongle.
In a way…..and this is my bad…..the BL8s are a lot bigger than I imagined based on the initial perception from the press photos. I had a quarter-sized BL6000 in my minds eye. The dimensions state the truth but real life gives it context I guess?

I haven't had the chance to explore the details of the legacy Powerlink integration. Will it offer compatibility with older Hi-Fi systems, like the Beosystem 6500, allowing control of CD, Radio, and Vinyl through the remote app? Additionally, will it enable music streaming to other wireless speakers? If anyone comes across information on these different scenarios, please share it with us. Thanks.

I think there’s a good case for going for the cloth version too, perhaps more versatility. I have the Theatre with dark oak/silver combo and although that aesthetic on the Beolab 8 would be great it kind of locks you in that given the fret cost.
Can fluid sweet spot be implemented to existing BL28 by software update as a feature?
