Horses for courses

BC2 plays dvd's/cd's main problem is the master unit, as it must be 600 x 200 x 75, needs hiding(?) mine is behind a plant under an open plan staircase.

BS4 ideal if you have a car with an SD slot it becomes easier to play music from one source ie the card!

I have both, the BC2 always impresses when it opens up!

Thanks for the input matey..

BeoSound 5 with the disc drive. best audio system we make. 

Sandy - you only want to listen to music in that room? If you like you can watch DVDs with BC 2. The BC 2 plays MP3-Discs - the BS 4 only Audio-CDs.

 + SD card material!

Hmmm that's a lot of money for incredibly outdated products. The BC2 is a total disgrace, it doesn't even have an HDMI output to upscale DVDs. If you have an iPhone or iPod would you not consider a funky little BeoSound 8?

I've owned a BC2 and BS4. The BC2 was sold over a year ago....but the socket box is still screwed to the wall.

I've kept the BS4 and use it every day. Perfect for playing CDs, listening to the radio and have it connected wirelessly to my NAS drive, so can stream and control my music. I prefer the design of the BS4, too. BC2 is also expensive for what it offers.

And, as Paul says, the BS8 is worth considering. I now have some "funky" yellow speaker covers and this device gets more remarks than any other B&O equipment (and I have a lot of equipment)! People consistently say they want one. 

I like to play my cd's so BS8 is not an option..  Think i am swayed to the BS4 , should all UK sold BS4's have DAB as standard?

Can't you rip them uncompressed or with a small amount of compression, to a NAS drive? I barely put a CD in my BS4 and, if I do, I find they sound flat.
