BeoPlay A6 feedback?

The sound is amazing for its size - I found it to be almost too great, leaving few arguments for the A9 or a Essence+speaker combo in a link room.

Iยดm thinking of replacing by BL3500 with the A6. I can then remove the Masterlink cabling.

Will the A6 be a worthy replacement?

Will the A6 be a worthy replacement?

Yes, indeed, if we only look at the sound quality. But there is something beoish about the BL3500 that the A6 misses, but at the same time I must admit that the A6 fits the current interior trends a lot better than the early-90's-look of the BL3500. But I still love the BL3500.

Thanks Roger. Agree that the BL3500 is a classic and Beoish as you say ๐Ÿ™‚

But what about the colours?

Probably only the light grey version will be in the first delievery (?).

Maybe the B1-shops could 'persuade' some of the costumers to wait for the other colour options, which will come later.....for a delayed Christmas gift.

When the A6 first appeared on the Play website it appeared that you got a light grey cover automatically and had to pay extra for the other colours.  If that is still intended to be the case (colour options aren't currently showing) there wouldn't be an incentive to delay.

Was at my dealer today to pick up my free book and ask for A6 news.

They expect 2 units for demo at the end of december and some delivery maybe in february.

The reason is a great success.

What great success ? You can't even buy one !

I was to a dealer in Paris this Tuesday and he told me that the A6 is not out yet (except few in Scandinavia) and that it will not be available before 1-2 months... It will for sure miss my Christmas and I'll end up buying a Devialet phantom or a BW Zeppelin wireless...

Easy to find in B&O and other hifi shops in Danemark.

Beautiful product but very poor bass, high without precision and medium... Medium? Which medium?

It was in the Copenhagen B&O with one of their sources so maybe this listening have to be done again.

Hi moxxey,

They have one in the Bournemouth store, I had a quick listen - but in the middle of the showroom, I liked it, i thought it had good bass and enjoyed its overall sound - but no enough to upgrade from my beolit 15 for now. However, I don't think they can actually get any in for orders until the new year! So will look again then I think, as the multi room is a tempter over the 15 (it's in my kitchen/diner mainly)
