I saw the what's in the box, but it's not clear if they are referring to the unit itself as The Dock or a little module that sits on top to be used as and when.

Couldn't see any pics to clarify.Fingers crossed.

Hi Synergy!

Don't worry it has a dock.  It says on the website when you click on one of the picture slides "The dock on BeoPlay A8 holds you iPhone or iPad in place... even the new iPad!

In France, the BeoSound 8 is now sold at EUR 850 instead of the EUR 995 initial price. Does this mean that the new BeoPlay A8 costs the same price as the former BS8? With extra features like Airplay? In that case it would mean that B&O has finally understood modern marketing..😁

Nope. As we've discussed a few times, there's a 15% promo on the current/outgoing BS8, bringing it down to £749. The A8, which is due this month, will be closer to....£1000.

Dealer confirmed today that the outgoing Beosound 8 will now be replaced with the more expensive A8 (he originally thought they'd be offered together, at two price points).

So....if you're going to get a Beosound 8, I'd seriously consider getting one now at 15% off. It will be close to £1000 when the A8 is available at the end of May.
