The evidence of BL90 technology trickling down is what we have all been waiting for !

(( as I said in the LG OLED thread ... " And hopefully ... new speakers would be able to orient the sound stage to where you are sitting (without any friends ) " ))

I am somewhat surprised it showed up in the M5.

As I recall it, we had ALT go from BL5 > BL3 > BL9 ... and then proliferate across many other Beolab form factors.

I hope your interpretation is correct !

BeoNut since '75

There is no 'BL90 technology' as such.

But there is a lot knowledge about acoustics and hard-/software gained, when develloping that particular speaker.

Part/s of this can surely be used with other speakers/apeaker systems - also with the M5.

i've had a BS2 for a few weeks now, very good all round performer......dont have it in a large room, and its probably overkill for my home office, which is where it is, but its everything i wanted it to be......look great too.....good luck...

Perhaps I need a Beosound2 as portability it not a requirement

I have a BS1 and compared to the BS2, there quite a difference. BS2 is like a cleaner sounding A6 to me. Bright, with decent bass. BS1 sounds portable. Very good, not great. You can't turn it up loud at all.  I like it though as it's movable.

completely agree, nice to have a decent range to chose from.....was just doing a side by side of my A9 and BS2 (i dont have an A6)...very different animals, the A9 is a much bigger sound - yes both have plenty of bass, but setting that aside, the A9 to me is very much worth the extra 350-400 pounds, much more detailed and open ....guess all depends on need i guess.....wouldnt be that happy with a BS2 in my bedroom, where i do some proper listening, while the A9 does a fab job there......and conversely the BS2 is excellent for my (smaller) home office.........re BS1 vs BS2, when i listened to them both, there is clearly a difference, though i expected it to be bigger, but in the end, i didn't need portability, and for the extra money i thought the BS2 was better value, and in the end a better sounding speaker.......

by any chance: does anybody know, if there will be a wall bracket for the M5?

I like the spec of the BS2 but not sure I like the look as much as the BS1, not hear it yet

I know I don't enjoy the sound of the A6 to much Bass, I find Beoplay stuff very heavy on laggy bass

A little to much bass, thats my thought also from the M5. Could it come from the difference in the enclosure between the BSs and Play products, aluminium versus hard plastic. The Kvadrat wool is muting also a lot of high freq. Wonder how it sounds without.
