Thanks for the great messages guys.
@CB The base is narrow, but the weight distribution makes the BS35 rock solid. Living in California with the occasional tremor and earthquake as well as having 3 cats, I don't see this as a concern.
@BAND'OH I actually has the same exposure/view from my living room as well. I live in the Hollywood Hills and we have a nice view of the entire LA Basin.
Got an Essence remote from a forum member and paired it to the BS35 for remote control from my desk. Works great and just what I need when I can't get up and don't really want to bother launching BeoMusic. Gotta say I'm loving this BS35 so much I may sell on of my A6s soon and get another from the bedroom and wall mount it.
Off topic, has anyone heard anything regarding the new Android App? I see it in the play store and seems like a fantastic upgrade from BeoMusic. Unfortunately I'm on iOS and it hasn't been ported as yet. Hoping is forthcoming and that it adds a few features sorely missed from BeoMusic (random, shuffle, etc). Wondering if anyones had some first hand experience with it??
