I just received my Beosound 2 brass. As i live in a apartment I feel like it's more important to have speaker that sounds great without blasting away my neighbours than to have a speaker that can go very loud. This is exactly where the beosound 2 excels. As the speaker is sitting in the middel of the living room i must say that i don't find the Bass to overwhelming. Anyway super happy with the bs2. The setup app is a joke, performance and ux are terrible. Shoot me any questions about the speaker :) 

 

Nice picture Nickname nice surroundings- congratulations
Agreed, great picture Nickname - much better than mine 😕

That's a good point, it's a quality and well balanced sound without overpowering the rest of the house.

Everyone,

Thanks for the advice above - BS1 now reset, configured and making great noises! 🙂

I have a BS2 in the bedroom and a A9 in our library - The speakers are very different to my mind - both excellent. The A9 has a  RMS rating of 160 and the BS2 a rating of 71 - in my case it does not matter as they both are vey powerful. The only annoying thing about the BS2 is that it does not support the BEOSOUND ESSENCE REMOTE which would be handy in the bedroom - I have an essence remote connected to the A9 and it's really nice

I would not see BS2 as a replacement for the A9 rather if you can I would use both. The A9 is most likely better in a big room e.g. more powerful but the 360 and subwoofer like ability of the BS2 makes it very very nice.

Are you sure? Thought that was added in the latest update, but with a note that it was "experimental" ore something like that.
