bayerische, i agree with you 100%,

There are too many things to dislike about the BeoSound six to pay a B&o premium for it.

The 'feel' of it is too light and cheap, and the volume it's capable is odd! If you wanted to listen to classical music in a place with background noise, it would be frustrating.

The BeoSound 2 is a B&o product in the way it sounds, feels, and the way it functions. Comparing the two is like comparing chalk and cheese and it's been clearly expressed that this was not B&o's best efforts. What i'd like to know is the REAL reason they relaxed so much on the release of  a new product. 

Beosound 6 doesn't look, feel like "actual" B&O product😛 I own one sometimes ago, it was simply awful. I simply can live with it anymore, so I sell it and stick with my Beosound 2 again, its simply better at any point. No matter is sound or building quality or user interface.

The stainless steel bit on the Beosound 6 is just the top and bottom frame. The whole middle part is just a block of anodized plastic in poor finishing standard. It will be fine for a normal company with normal price, but for b&o, is not.

 😉The worst thing of all is you will find a "samsung" logo at the back. Just like finding a  toyota  logo in a rolls royce.

I can still live with having a samsung logo on serene and serenata, at least they both look and function like B&O style, building quality is wonderful. When people hold up serene or serenata, they will be amazed by the design, people will straight away know is form B&O. Everytime when I hand my Beosound 6 to my friends, they will just ask me whether its a new player from samsung. The first thing come up their mind is " Oh, doesnt it look like the samsung YP-Z5 player". Everything with Beosound 6 is just wrong......🙁

I am very sure that if Beosound 6 is truly design by B&O, it wouldn't came out as a design like this.🤔
