The B1´s are hoping for a new Horizon OLED alternative to increase sale volumes. But as BeoPlay and Bang & Olufsen have "merged".

Its so sad that a premium company like B&O can't make a good working streamer....

Do not be sad. We trust them to make great products and they fail, consistently. B&O lacks humility when it fails to perform, and great punishment comes with that. 

B&O is not a premium company. It once was a company that made premium products, but now it is a logo on colorful plastic Chinese cases, some of which often work. From one McKinsey consultant to another, cheers, Tue. You will always have Triumph.

Ouch! Succinct, to the point, sadly. I agree with your description of the modern B&O unfortunately, the upper management have abandoned everything the company used to believe in.

Maybe for 2018 they'll stick an Auralic Mini in an aluminum box and call it a Beosound Moment II or something. At least it'd work.

Apart from madness, there's literally no reason why (or even how!) B&O needs to or will produce a BeoSystem 5 for variously glaringly obvious reasons. The main reason being they got rid of their picture-processing development team, kind of essential for a BeoSystem 5. On top, they now have a strategic partnership with LG and what would you connect this BeoSystem 5 to, exactly?

Last but not least, the number of people wanting to buy this is tiny, sadly. ie. the development costs would never be covered by the income.

Really Sad,

I was an enthusiast, the Beolab 17's got me into the product line. The trouble is once you start looking at their older product line, the build quality, design, even sound quality actually go up. The newest speakers I have now are MS150's.

Please bring back some wood.
