global launch events which are being kicked off in New York followed by events in London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam on 3 and 4 October.

BAH !

Global means FIVE continents or TWO hemispheres or something better than two sides of the Atlantic pond !!!!

List should clearly include the nearest large city to EVERY Beoworlder, including Melbourne 😁

And more seriously, how can you have a global launch and not include a single Chinese city ... even Hong Kong would have been a very smart idea !

I haven't checked out the PR yet. But if it is only those five cities, I wouldn't call it 'Global launch'...😂

If B&O release a high performance, high value, AV active speaker to sit in the Beoplay range, this could be very exciting news indeed, for somebody like me as a new B&O owner, and a BeoPlay owner at that.

If the price and performance was right, similar to what the V1 TV series offers, it would allow me to fairly quickly establish a NEW and COMPLETE  B&O AV system built around the BeoPlay product line, and to be able to finally sell off my existing separates system, which is co-existing currently in piecemeal fashion with my V1, and either bank the funds from the sale of that separates system, or put them towards other B&O products, or B&O AV products further up the performance line.

Currently, the only option to high performance, but expensive speakers in the B&O line to build upon the virtues and capabilities of the V1 with respect to a full AV BeoPlay system, is to buy second hand if wishing, as I am, to put a full B&O AV system together in one hit and at  - relative to the 'high end' - moderate cost.

In my humble opinion, it makes a great deal of sense if B&O were to develop some high performance, and high value products re speakers under the BeoPlay moniker, and would likely be very successful for them, as they must surely be losing some sales to the second hand market, given the high cost of entry to B&O's speakers when viewed not as an standalone stereo pair, but as an AV set. i.e. at least two pairs of preferably matching speakers, plus sub, needing to be bought at the outset to establish a matching, B&O AV speaker system.

The V1 offers exceptional performance and rates very highly on the value for money scale in my humble opinion (and yes, I'm biased, but then if my extensive research prior to purchase had not lead me to appreciate that fact, I would not have likely bought one) and for a speaker to possibly be released that may well offer a similar very high performance/value for money ratio as per the V1, is very exciting news IMHO!

Fingers crossed!
