Ideally it would be masterlinked in like a beoport and act as a music source that can also connect to the rest of the system

Let's hope it can co-exist with a BeoPort

if it was also wireless

Let us hope they don't confuse wireless with radio 😂

Let's hope they put both in :)

I heard off a good sourse, that it will be released in november be between £600-800 and will have net radio capability oh and the sound output is equivlent to Lab6000's not the 4000's as been mentioned on here.

While I understand it to have excellent sound quality (if it even does or will exist which cannot by any means be even the least bit confirmed [or denied]), think about reconciling the information in this post.

1. It will retail between £600-800

2. sound output is equivalent to to BeoLab 6000s

A swing and a miss. 

Is the sound output between 4000's and 6000's that different?

The sheep may have been protecting their sources.. or is it sauces..

😂

When the volume is up high yes, there is a big difference.

Nevertheless, exciting concept, lets hope it doesn't disspoint like every other product they have released over the past couple of years has.

In that price range we can`t expect link compatibility, so I think, it won`t have masterlink....🙁

Would be great if you could access your BS5 music library via BS8 using an ipod, ipad or Beo4/5in a linkroom....

But it looks like a standalone product in the tradition of BS Century, BS1.

Sheep, please tell me if I`m wrong...😮

Imho.. it's going to replace the BS1... Stand alone product.. with no intention to be ML linked. (don't see a use of it being ML). I'm not going to use my iPod when all my music is on my network. It's just a stand alone product, nothing more nothing less.

Hopefully the sheep will be able to continue their 007 activities. But you never know. Too often sheep end up on kebab skewers, which tends to make them very silent.

Your missing the point, alot of people are not as tech savvy with their music on their network, they are most likely  have it on a iPod thats downloaded from a laptop/desktop.

So to be able to link & control a official iPod dock will be a very good solution for B&O  traditional customers, lets face it those of us who frequent this site to not fall into that category.

They could perceivably have two versions, one stand alone the other linkable.

I for one think that if they launch BS1/BS3 type product then they are barking up the wrong tree.

They seem to be very clever - they even survived easter. Anyway they have a license to beo.....🙂

My thoughts were just the other way round. I`m thinking of a link device as the BL2000/3500 with ML connection, and as an add on ipod /N.MUSIC and N.RADIO as local source....

BTW thanks to ridax I have a linkable ipod docking station since years - works great with BS7000 & BC9500 and as a local source connected to an MCL2 AV.
