Hi all,

I was surprised to see the new A5 on public display at a B&O dealer this Saturday. I was able to listen to it, and wow it sounds good! I took a picture of it, and I know the price. I‘m unsure though whether or not I should share my findings on this forum. Please allow me to note that it looks a hell of a lot like
What is interesting here is, whether it is a bluetooth only speaker or if it has some Beolink Multiroom capacities (maybe even based on the Mozart platform)?

In the first case not so interesting….just another one in a long line (which does not say it can be better than the rest).
In the second it would be highly interesting!!!

We will soon know.

The dropping of the Beoplay branding confuses nomclementure somewhat.

I would imagine if it is a Beosound and has Mozart it is WiFi and Beolink-able?

If it is a (former Beoplay) Beosound and does not have Mozart....it will be a portable Bluetooth speaker only??

Everything I have heard and been told is that future Beolabs will be dual purpose i.e. a Loudspeaker with integrated music player?

It also leads to the confusing possibility if Beosounds will have integrated Beolabs?

 

 
It‘s Mozart, at least that‘s what the guy said, and he chose the speaker on his iPad from a long list of speakers.
I hope it has Wi-Fi. Bluetooth only speakers are a huge waste to me.

I’ve seen it yesterday.
It’s a mix of improved sound of the Beolit 20 and functionality of the Level. So mozart based with wifi, stereo pairing etc.
The looks of it is very nice.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.
Price, please?

Are there cover options - not just wood?

From google pictures there is at least the dark wood version with black top and bottom plate and the coarse beige fabric version with white top and bottom plate and a oak wood handle.
