Hi Ed🙂
Welcome back, I hope you had a nice holiday.
I have a specific date for my Beo5 and I can assure you it will involve a photo' type thread on here!
Let the race begin......

Hello,  

I'm also on top of my dealer waiting list, but I'm afraid he told me the Beo5 would not be in the shops before the end of the year...

(Hope the year he was talking about is 2007😁)

Greets from France,

Laurent.

I forgot to ask my dealer if there was a list, but anyway...

Any news? My dealer had no info from Struer.

......waiting Beo5 waiting.........🙂

only a few days and the first of us get the beo 5 - certanly only, if there are no delay...

I have a Beo 5 remote on order along with the new BeoVision 7-40 and 7-1 speaker. Looking forward to seeing and using the new remote although I am not entirely taken in by its design from photos posted. The Beo 5 remote goes against the grain of traditional remote design and it can be difficult to accept change. Having said that, this is the very essence of what I like about B&O so I have no doubt that soon after purchase I will enjoy looking at it and using it!

I'm really looking forward to receiving my Beo5.
Yes, It is a totally different design to anything we've been used to and will take some getting used to.
I was one of those lucky enough to have a play with one of these on our trip to Struer and it feels quite natural to use.
You do realise that it can be dropped from a ten storey building and is 100% guaranteed to still work!

epitomised the very essence of what B&O was all about. It was a product that defined new boundaries in design and then exceeded them in useability and functionality. I remember often going into B&O shops around 1992/1993 to simply watch the remote glide up and down when you put it on a flat surface. I was so addicted to B&O at that time and couldn't stop thinking about how amazing their products were. They were so far ahead of their competitors, by miles. I thought . o O ( At last... a company that is designing products with vision and without fear of conforming to everybody elses standards. ) They broke all rules and I could identify with them strongly. Such genius and perfection.

So there we are, a little bit about me from those days! Its products like those (and all the other products in the range at that time) that started my obsession with this truly ahead of its time company. THAT is why I am so passionate about B&O and why I hope so much that they never let their standards drop. What a great company B&O are.
