You're better off buying an A9 and wall mounting it as it will sound much better and cost less.

How can you know - did you already listen to it?

And if yes, in which configuration?

Based on everyones hands on with it so far. The base model has no punch and little base to it. Sure you can DOUBLE the configuration but at that point you can also get 2-3 A9's and the A9's will still sound better.

 

I find these money-for-money comparisons kinda useless. You can also get 4 of these for the price of one A9 and it will pack way more punch but who gives a heck. The A9 isn't a direct alternative to Shape so why bother pointing out watt-for-watt or money-for-money differences.

 

You're not comparing apples to apples there. Those beasts you show are not from B&O nor is it a simple speaker you can hang on the wall like the A9. I wasn't talking about power ratio's either more base response. The A9 has way more room in the cabinet to pack a punch than the Shape does.

Unfortunately you can't bank positive comments!

Does anyone know if it will be possible to use the Beosound cores digital output to connect Beolab speakers with digital connection like Beolab 20, Beolab 5 etc?

Actually I asked that question in one of my previous posts.

petrosbeli (from B&O) - see above - however, did not give a direct answer to this.

The problem is, that we don't know how the volume is controlled, when the digital-out of the BS Core is used for the connection.

I guess we will have to wait for more information on this, before drawing any conclusions.

The optical-out on the BeoSound Core will be volume regulated. Which means you can use it with all the newer range of the BeoLab speakers, to feed them end-to-end digital sound.

Thanks, Petros - so now we know 🤒
