Traditional cardboard box 🙂

And inside: another box! 😁

Finally a glimpse of the A6 wrapping

Upside down to plug in he power cord.

This is not the final position, but will do for now.

Setup:

Easy. Pops up in your iPhone as wireless speaker and connects to the WiFi.

Adding logins to all services through the Beosetup app.

Sound:

Awesome. Detailed. Good separation. Punchy bass. Beats my BL3500 with margin. Easily fills a room.

Handling:

It's not heavy. Easy to move to another room if you want.

One touch on one spot and you jump between sources. One touch at another place, and you switch between channels or songs.

Very happy so far. Will play around more and report back.

From the beginning I like it very much as well. It does match perfectly with your decoration! Congratulations.

It looks darker than on Beoplay's site... I find it even more beautiful in this condition. Is it the light in your room?

Thanks for posting, it looks great. I will also be interested in further thoughts on it and how well the multi room works. Thinking of adding one to my set up in the new year, or whenever it is I can get my hands on one in the UK.
