New Wireless Speaker Beosound A5?

140 replies
......
I had the opportunity to listen to the BS A5 today (in Struer).

Pretty amazing for the size - as a stereo setup it sounds even better, of course.

I did not make photos…..those, that you can see tomorrow at launch day, will be better anyway.

Starting tomorrow you can see/hear it in the shops - pictures will certainly not do this rather small speaker justice.

With the Mozart platform and the future options this will bring to it, it - in my opinion - is a resonably priced product.

I am sure it will sell well.

I wonder if I can find a place for it at home ?

N.B.
If is possible to use it as a BT speaker only, if that is what you’d want….and you can charge your phone on top of it.

Pretty amazing for the size
Sorry it ends up on you, but I've always found this is the silliest, most useless and still most used argument to describe B&O stuff: the P2 is amazing for its size", the A1 is "amazing for its size" the P6 was "amazing for its size" (noticed how we don't ever more heard of it?), the Emerge is "amazing for its size"… Etc. Does this make the Beolab 90, after all "not so great given its size" ? You buy B&O and the B&O signature sound. Whatever the size it should sound great (or B&O like at least) and size must not be an excuse for sounding a little bit under the expectations. So if a speaker sound "amazing for its size", make it a little bit bigger and sound just "amazing". My point of view (photographers around?).   ;-)

Well - of course you are right.
However, it will be compared to the Beolit xx - but it is in any way better (again imo).

The size makes it a portable/moveable speaker/BS…..with a ‘sound’ that is big ?

The only way to judge it, is to see and hear.
As with any speaker/BS this is not for everyone.

Looking forward to hear what people - who had a proper listen - will say.

From the pictures I find it nice (I always have loved the Beolit 12 form factor and thought it dis loose something by going bluetooth only…). I rather the nordic wave version but I should change when seeing them in real.

But the pictures with the designers holding it over the shoulder like an old gettoblaster is… Too much cheesy!
