Makes me doubt the spirit of B&O that just seems to disappear more or less.  

You should see the god-awful shiny white BL12's!

Well done, Tomaz.

I forgot to ask, what CAD software and rendering engine are you using? This is top notch.

Very nice!

I wish it had a display of sorts. The white dot matrix from the BS4 comes to mind...

Playmaker Evan Edition :), with (semi) transparent LCD , for track, source (future amp-control) reads out the info data from the audio stream . Everyone who remember the link with its transparent display knows how it works.

the more time you spend on this ,the more you realize the true wasted potential of the Playmaker. So its better to stop here ..its not my business, Im just beoworld tomaz :) have fun with the original playmaker ,look at the bright side - its unique to have a food box in your bedroom , office, living room ---

I would change it to look like a beogram platter, or to be really clever........a beogram platter clock!  Retro and classic, hang it on a wall and the playmaker would then be hidden in plain sight. 

I mentioned in another thread that the current design looks remarkably like a bathroom fan.

H3ll yea! Make that screen motorized and you've got a deal!!! 😂

On a serious note, I was picturing a display that is two lines and runs across the bottom width of the front panel. Back to the drawing board! 😎
