The user guides are now online on the B&O website -> Costumer Service.

A lot to set up, but that shows how much we can do with this device.

But the configuration is pretty straight forwards.

Rather harsh it is a highly inspired design, almost as good looking and useful as;

You don't, obvisiously (which is fine).

Others will, I am certain (which is even better).

Yes, apparently they still service B&O customers, at least that's what I understood from the emails which told folks they were changing their name and purpose.

"...still service B&O customers..." I laugh! This group of dealers has given the WORST service I've ever experienced from B&O. I'm glad to see them gone. They were tarnishing B&O's good name.

I received amazingly good service from them. Incredible service.

I agree with Beojeff.  The State Street store was not so great.  They did do installations themselves but repairs were sent out.  Abt is the best but many times the people that know about B&O are not there.  It is an amazing store but is part of a larger store which is in the suburbs.  I blame B&O North America.  I am a registered user and am on their list.  I just recently received the new catalog.  All they had to do was send an email and tell people what is happening and that there will be a new arrangement soon.  Chicago is the third largest city in the US.  It is just hard to imagine there will be no B&O store downtown.  There is a new Apple store planned to be built on Michigan ave which will be huge like the Cube in New York.

I was planning on a major purchase but not for six months.  Maybe things will change

Thread drift alert!

Back on topic! I'd say there's a 99% chance this will be replacing my A8 (which is lacking bluetooth and is the primary reason I'm switching). Has anyone gotten a chance to hear this in person?
