Generic design like  I saw from many Wifi Routers Design out there.

Sure, but my router is lying flat....or rather hanging flat on a wall.

Just because it it thin and stands up does not make it a router.

It is in the eye of the beholder which associations one gets looking at the BS Emerge I guess.

MM

To me it looks like a fancy Wifi router that belongs in a hotel lobby. lol.

Yeah that's what I said - maybe I should have said "any of the new designs"

 

Ban boring signatures!

 

 

If you had I’d have most likely given you the same answer. And then you’d have explained why the BL18 wasn’t a new design.

Forgot the A9!🤒

Hi Beoworlders,

Two new reviews of the Emerge have just gone live on YouTube, I have linked to John at B&O Manchester's video at the end of my own:-

Steve and John, thank you for your review, I was very interested in how this speaker performed.  It sounds very good, but...

My biggest takeway is that it is a great speaker at lower listening volumes, not so much if its cranked up a little.  I typiocally listen at moderate volumes, but sometimes I do want to crank it up a little. I would have a hard time spending $900 (for the oak version which I like better) knowing that I have that limitation with the speaker.  Maybe it would make a fine office speaker knowing its in an environment where you would never listen to it too loudly.

Hi Duels,

It is a long time since I heard an A2, but the Emerge should surpass this easily if my memory of the A2 is correct.  B&O are currently offering a 100 day risk-free trial period, so this is an ideal way to listen to the speaker to see how it sounds if you can't get to a B&O store.

Got it - might work if the speakers have been setup as a pair in GH.

Will depend on how Roon sees them in its UI.

I don’t use GH myself so not something that I’d readily test
