For me it is an advanced beolit. And why so much portable speakers? The product philosophy is confusing me.

To me it is the first portable Mozart-based speaker/soundsystem. MM
No, that was the Level!

To be fair, there's some truth to MM's comment – Beosound A5 is more comfortable to be taken on the go thanks to its design (handle, it stays upright more securely, tactile buttons for operation).

Saw and heard one in the flesh in Harrods today.

Not impressed by looks or sound, to be honest.

Can't find any frequency response tests anywhere. Do you have one? Just wondering how linear it is, since it's being recommended to turn off EQ. Which actually say that graph must be awesome.

Looked at it's wireless module - quite an upgrade compared to Level and Emerge - AW-XM458 with native Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6.

Wondering if LC3 or LE Audio support to come - asked tech support. Since they already use some flavor of LC3 for the stereo pairing.

Can't figure CPU and RAM specs as yet.

Got a response from B&O that they will consider LC3 codec implementation for the future firmware updates. Please remind them to do so by querying from time to time. I suppose all of us do need to have better sound with low-energy consumption.
