The A9 and the A1 and the BL19 and the BROne are the icons I feel at the moment. All of that black and chrome make me think of the 90s when they were probably considered futuristic. None of the designs at the moment are futuristic and perhaps our references to futurist have changed too. But B&O want to be a fashion brand so I think they should be more daring. Fashion isn’t always following trends and seasonal colours (which are designed and organised years in advance) it rewards those who dare to (bare) be different.

The BeoSound 2 is a future Collectors Piece. Absolute elegance personified, coupled with a good CD mech and an AUX socket to connect whatever you like to it.
Now is the time to buy one, even if you just store it away.

It’s got some theatre and uses authentic materials.
I have always considered Beosound 9000 as something to own even if you don‘t neccesarily use it daily... if you wanted a sculptural B&O piece. And it is part of MOMA permanent collection.

I agree. Mine is seldom used to actually play CDs, it serves as the preamp connecting my Auralic streamer to my BL9s most of the time but sitting there on its floor stand it looks just gorgeous, a true work of art.
