I know, this is a weird question. I am currently using two A1s in my office at work. I typically listen to classical music and at relatively low volumes except when nobody else is around. I have the two A1s as I enjoy the stereo separation when volumes are higher. However, I am tired of turning both A1s on each day, repairing them to each other, and then repairing my BR1 to my IPad as it must be repaired daily.I like the Balance and was thinking of getting one. Definitely much more speaker than needed for a office, it operation would be simpler and I am intrigued by it’s beam control. Any thoughts/opinions on what if anything I might miss with one Balance compared to two separated A1s playing in stereo, other than the obvious sound improvement of a single Balance over a single A1?(I know, this is like asking to compare 90s to 4000s LOL)

Balance versus 2 A1s?

Physical stereo separation, but other than that you’ll have more of everything else😎
Thanks! That is what I was thinking. Now I am thinking maybe I should bring my unused Beosound 5 to work and a pair of my 4000s? Or maybe there is some way to connect A1s to a BS5. How would that be for a unique system LOL
I have also used the A1 (first gen) stereo paired in various places on the go. For the size and price they sound extremely well. If you place the A1 on a strategic spot near a wall or in a corner the performance is even greater. Line of sight was a must and max distance between the two A1’s rather limited.
P6 was even better in stereo, two extra drivers then compared a set of A1’s and a lot more body. You can upgrade to those as well !
what would be cool if B&O makes some kind of bluetooth hub/router so you can use let’s say 10 different A1’s /P6 ‘s wireless for a super funky mobile cinema experience. 😁
I am amazed at how good a pair of them do sound. For the size they are amazing.
