Havent been on the forum for a while now and just realized that this thing was released.

might actually move on to be my first new buy, except for a pair of ex-display A8 earphones. Since I moved to a larger apartment I find my S45.2s struggle to get good sound to the kitchen (would not expect any speaker to do that really 😳 ) since placed in the living room.

I find the silver version most appealing, and will try out the sound when the local dealer gets them in by next wednesday.

really generates the want to have feeling, for me at least 🤒

on the topic then...

Classic designer furniture doesn't need branding for people to know what it is. Good architecture is much the same.... and if they don't know and they want to, they will find out. 

B&O are not there currently, maybe if you see a classic piece and care to search the net. But for a portable speaker or any of the current products I would not expect the majority of potential buyers of such device to make the effort.

The mock-up by Lee, is a good alternative. Should we make a group order of stickers 😎

The black grill would look great with the brown/gold center. More contrast. 

I doubt they'll sell it separately, it's probably a complete unit. You might need to buy two and swap the parts yourself.

Nice idea Luke.

 

 

It's good to see we are talking up B&O. Foot traffic but tongue wagging. 😁

Mine just arrived... works right out of the box. A workmate just described the sound as crap.... I think it was the song that was playing mostly. 👍

It won't be replacing your Beolit 12 anytime soon, but then your Beolit probably doesn't fit in your bag... this thing is small and easy enough to take with you.

You're lucky.  When I ordered mine last Friday morning I was informed the delivery would be 2-3 business days.  I've only just in the last hour received an e-mail saying it will be shipped.  Not, has been shipped but only a shipping label has been produced by UPS.    So I don't suppose it will be here until next week.  I'm not impressed.

I can't decide which color to choose. I have put an order for the gray/gold but I might change my mind. Have placed an order with my dealer instead of going over the website (so I can change my mind easily + save the environment) :D

@Luke

Congrats!

Tell us more about the sound - please.

Does it sound 'mono' - or?

Does it really sound '360' - no matter how it is placed?

Listening to it at home now, actually it sounds pretty damn good. Not mono at all. 

It's really nice for acoustic, vocals etc. Not so amazing with dance music or heavy bass. It's better than those A3 iPad holders they had. I'm glad I bought it... I can hang it from my bike when I go places.
