i think a new ipod  , for £500 and with just enough space for about 4 songs

and make it hard to use , no display of course and make the buttons all nonsensical and weird

oh and don't forget to make the software awful and crash prone too

Count me in for the Powerline communication, this is the future of BeoLink, since all BeoLink products need a power plug, that would mean a single cable at last! The technology is there, only the B&O remote control capability is missing on the present solutions.

Wireless transmissions are too unreliable for real hi-fi performance, and let's not even talk about video ..

My thoughts on this: 

• I would like to see 2 way communication making a comeback
• Bring back the light control
• The idea of Power Line Communication is really good

I remember when I was a student, I lived in a converted garage some 100 yards from the main house. We had an intercom that worked through the mains then!

If you can get past the inherent interference problems, it would seem like a good idea. I seem to remember the fridge cycling set it off a bit though!

Two way has to make a come back - I have it using my Mac and it works very well. I would prefer a B&O solution though.

What is wrong with Lutron? Their products work with B&O - I found the LC1 and LC2 to be a bit bulky and not that reliable. Happy to see B&O concentrate on music and video and let an associated company deal with the lights. Similarly, I would rather B&O integrated with PC and Mac than tried to build one of their own. Clearly I would prefer it to be a Mac as this seems to be closer to the ethos of B&O (and I have Macs! )  but I can see the problems. 

"Invisible" speakers - full range "picture frame" speakers (I'll allow an ALT lens)😂

As lovely as Lab 5's are, they're not for everybody (i.e. most wives)😂

Imagine a wafer thin BL5000 with "new technology" proper base driver that was wall-independant (or at least calibratable a la BL5) that could accommodate user artwork (or purchased) that could be a picture frame or disappear when covered with a matching wall colour/cover. A lens would hardly be noticable.

Design specifically for wall mounting, location problems disappear.

Truely a speaker for every occasion (of course it could be repackaged into a cool, floor standing version for those allowed bachelor pad type decor).

I'd like to see true hifi systems that don't have the audiophiles laughing.  B&O's done it before a long time back and they could do it again if they actually wanted too.  And yes I know the lab5's sound incredible, but for that price...

Sorry to sound cynical,  but I like the 15+ year old B&O stuff and have been upset by the direction they've taken in the past decade.  It seems like now their main demographic is people with money who are lulled into believing that they're making the best sounding stuff around.

Although they're way out of my price-league, I do believe the Lab 5's are spectacularly good value in the "audiophile" price bracket. If you feed them digitally then add up how much you'd need to spend for competitors preamp/amp/speaker combinations with equivalent sound quality. My guess is that the Lab 5's would be at least on par if not significantly less expensive in a lot of cases and, btw, did you read the "ten or twenty (what ever it was) best looking speakers in the world" thread - of the ten, nine were either completely bizarre or typical wooden coffins with various lumps - only the Lab 5 looked like "form and functional intimately embraced".

(Only just thought of that - must dash onto official site to enter the Lab 5 slogan competition)😂
