I got the call, my product had arrived! I jumped in the car and headed up the A1 to Bang & Olufsen of Newcastle, two hours later i'm back in my lounge and here we go!

It is nicely packaged I must say. Feels luxurious and very exciting!

Apologies i keep clicking 'Post' instead of the camera icon next to it!

Love the engraving on the edge of the product. The 'jukebox' (thats the bit you hold in your hand) feels fantastic to hold. Nicely weighted but not too heavy - of course there's a slab of oak attached so it weighs more than say an iPad 1. But the silk finished aluminium feels great to touch and the whole thing feels great. I find the iPad mini a bit fiddly to hold when trying not to touch the screen - but this has plenty of 'furniture' to hold on to.

Going through the set up menu has been very easy indeed.

It found my NAS drive straight away, i put my tunein and deezer credentials in - now it is indexing my nas drive. Just need to wait for the wife to finish watching her TV programme on the Avant, then I can nick the speakers and let rip!😁

MartinW... did you already have that wooden end table? It is a great match to the oak side of the Moment... B&O should sell matching end tables, diversify some more! LOL

Or even sell rolls of matching oak lamella that the Moment purchaser can cut to size and place under where they will have the soundheart.

Very nice Martin!

I'll add to my comment about Flere's pictures and say that your pictures are also better than any of the official B&O output.

The thing is growing on me.

Ha! When I moved it 2 years ago I opted for oak floor, oak fireplace, oak doors and oak tables. How appropriate!

I like seeing it in a normal home. It fits here very well - I even like looking at the 'soundheart' - it has a nice engraving that just reminds you of the brand you love!
