OMG I hate my internet connection (3072 kbit/s). Everything on beolounge loads for a very long time. I think there has a lot of work to be done.

What a coincidence!
I just logged on to tell everyone to go and look at the Beolounge!
Beat me to it mr_anders_son! 😎

Just spent 45 minutes there, and only explored 4%.

Very pretty but it's still not as informative as Beoworld...

plus it makes my Macbook Air have a heart attack.

My MacBook pro froze just as the designer lady was introducing herself.  I was forced to close the BeoLounge window.

It definetely needs a ultra fast connection and a really good graphics card!!!! They obviously are using the web2 story and seems pretty nice but nothing so informative. Let's see how it developes.

I gave up after 3 minutes and still hadn't progressed past the piano - PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there no one a B&O who is Web savvy????????? I'm sure it worked great on the company network, try using it on a 512Kb connection to appreciate just how much it will alienate visitors with slow connections.

Very disappointing but, I have to say, not entirely unexpected.

Not really - it worked pretty well with my 3/1M connection and several years old midclass PC - and the holiday time gift animations on the main web site pretty much froze the browser on this same machine.

As to the content, no I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before. Not sure if that's a compliment or not, though 😂

I am inclined to agree. Why would they go to the obvious expense?

The graphics are impressive on my HP laptop and my 3Mb/s connection not slow by my standards (I've just re-joined BT and my line is 2 pieces of wet string!) but what is there to see.

Sorry B&O, it was all wasted on me.

No problem here (new aluminum Macbook and 8000kbit/s connexion), apart that the graphics are really poor...

If you want a really interesting part, go to the "Magazine" place (the room on the top of the stairs) and read the magazine : interesting, and not on the printed magazine. The designers of the Beosound 5 speaks of the concept; an article about how beolab8000 and 6000 top plates are polished using diamond...
