With all the efford from the guys in the Acoustic Department and with the knowledge of how the BL90/50’s work, it would not be far away to wish for a Slave version of the Balance.....for a genuine stereo setup or as speakers for a BV.
Still wondering what the two (!) RJ45 port are for!

You are not! I’m still not over it, even after 8h digesting this news. Completely lost faith in the company’s strategy and management. How is it possible to skip the multiroom & connectivity services in their products?? As stated elsewhere in this post, B&O is getting a buffed up Google home (Maxi)! Again I’m sure it will sound freaking good but the whole experience is just as important B&O usp as the sound. Multiroom is as B&O as aluminium, as if they are ditching aluminium for recycled plastic! Pff now I need a beerI’m maybe the only one to care, but DLNA has been dropped too .... BS Moment, BS Core, BG 4002, BC 4500, BS1, BL18, BL19, BL8000 + RCV1, A6, M5, M3, A1, P6 (tks Botty), H5, TR1
From what I've heard it's for "daisy chaining" ethernet to other devices (small two port switch?)With all the efford from the guys in the Acoustic Department and with the knowledge of how the BL90/50’s work, it would not be far away to wish for a Slave version of the Balance.....for a genuine stereo setup or as speakers for a BV.

Reply for my question on Software Update enabling NL BeoLink Multiroom: "As the brand new BeoSound Balance does not have the respective older ASE (Audio Stream Engine), I am afraid that this is not technically possible through a pure software update."
Regarding speaker design I find it interesting that it uses the same principle for bass as the BeoLab 11 but I wonder why it's only one tweeter pointing forward without "acoustic lens" when it's supposed to be omni directional or for beam control why it haven't got multiple for tweeters in the different directions?

C'mon, really? 😁

If only Chromecast & Airplay 2 allowed me to play music to all my B&O speakers simultaneously, I would not worry about the disappearance of Beolink Multiroom... But it's not the case on my setup. The only way to play perfectly in sync is Beolink.
I aree. I think B&O is doing an excellent job in the audio dept with their new BeoSound and some Beoplay speakers like the A9. I wish they were all designed to enable of a pair of them to work in stereo mode. A9s in stereo mode would sound amazing. I know because I was able to do it by splitting an RCA input connection and setting both to line in as an experiment. The balance even has the form factor to be a mini Beolab system if it could work as stereo speakers.

Is it because of wifi issues? AirPlay 2 plays in perfect sync in my experience. I have A9, Stage, Core and BS1
