I don’t think they have lost confidence - on the contrary…..I think they are starting to get more confident that the Theatres issues are reducing ' ( or rather the control app is now starting to perform off from the nadir of its being)

B&o I think realise that they cannot sell a bunch of evolutionary-dead-end mono speakers(that give Psuedo stereo sound ) and at the opposite end of the spectrum sell a soundbar that can accommodate 11-12 speakers but the price of entry is another +£15k add-on for 5.04. Rather, I think the strategy is to use DPL/BLS as a gateway drug and get people to constantly update their surrounds to progressively better kit.

But you still need the +10K theater. I hope it is well received, but that’s a big first step for a “budget” system :D.
Correct... But that has always been the case for B&O in order to have surround. 8y ago I paid 6K for a 40" BeoVision 14 just to have surround.

On another note I've been absolutely dying for someone to use two A9's as front speakers for 10 years. With DPL that seems possible.

Just created an account here - curious to see if anyone can help answer my Q's around the new Beolink Surround:
  • Does DPL introduce any kind of delay, even if it's a picture delay on the Theatre to compensate, as I am considering this for a setup that will include gaming (so ideally no additional latency)
  • If I wanted 2x Beosound Levels as rear speakers, is anyone aware of a way to do so wired, rather than wirelessly? Essentially I want to wall-mount the speakers, and the wall accessory is power only I believe, so I think am looking for how to wall mount without their accessory, while having usb-C power cable and RJ45 data.
Lastly, any comments on performance for a setup like this (that I may add to with dedicated front R/L speakers further down the line) will be appreciated. I already own one Beosound Level.

Not sure how well I can answer your enquiry but I’ll give it a try….

1. I DPL BL8s as rears/surrounds. No delay as far as I can ascertain

2. Don’t know about BS Level but assume as it’s Mozart…..it has the same internals as the BL8s…just not the same cabinet or driver size. Neither the less…a modular loudspeaker. So assume BS Level = BL8 for your question

3. I see DPL as an upgrade to WISA in that it assumes firmware control/updates, loudspeaker profile optimisation and arguably, a more secure and robust signal communication between the Master and satellite speaker
