I think that the new prices are fair (or OK) even though I bought my BS5 some years ago at the old price.

You do get a very good music system with nice features built in.

It only miss the option to use a smartphone as a remote, but who knows, this might come once.

I think you might be waiting a while. My dealer claims the Encore is on the way out. Besides, I don't think any company can legally produce a device with a controllable interface that would enable you to manage ripped Blu-ray movies.

The UK copyright law was updated recently to allow end users to backup/store/rip CDs. It didn't cover any media which was encrypted, such as a Blu-ray. It's still illegal to rip/backup/make a copy of a Blu-ry movie. Therefore B&O wouldn't be able to produce a device which would present a way of browsing your Blu-ray movies and playing the content via your TV. They'd either have to start their own movie streaming service or latch on to another existing service.

On the way out leaving the regular BS5 or they're both on the way out? My closest dealer claims that despite the BS5E costing half as much now here in the US he still sells way more of the BS5s. I don't need Masterlinking capabilities and like the straight plug in features of the BS5E so I've been keeping my eye out for one. Missed one that went for 2k and was still under warranty here recently on Ebay. Oh well.
