As do many, but it wont be priced just above the Stage (if it ever comes)

It would be double the price - i.e. closer to 3 / 3/5k.

I want more GVA enabled products. It should take so long to update the M3 and M5.

And an universal sound center (similar to Harmony) but at a price point just above the Stage. A Stage like product but with the ability to connect existing B&O speakers. 

46-inch Oak Wood Lamellas (BeoVision 14) for the BeoVision 11 (Magnetic) 🙏🏽

The iOS app development team could upgrade the app to become "Now Playable" so it can be controlled from the lock screen:

It is .... but like many other things in the app, not as bullet proof as it should. I have stopped enabling this feature.

Wow, you are right! So there is hope after all.

Beoplay H9 with Bluetooth 5.0 which can provide audio connection with true 'lossless' uncompressed quality. When available - I'll cut the wires for headphones.

Jeff: I fully agree… And that is also, I guess, what the dealers thought when they were asked (assuming this anecdote is true). After all, there are a lot of turntables available on the market that cost way more than € 4,000. But a B&O customer, however wealthy he/she is, is not an audiophile customer such as the ones you describe: the latter spend more time tweaking their equipment than actually enjoying it :-)

There's an old joke about audiophiles spending ever increasing amounts of money on their systems to listen to half a dozen really well recorded albums of music they don't like but that they feel really shows off how good their systems are. 😎

As you point out, different markets/buyers indeed. I used to play the audiophile game, moved from an all tube system and VPI turntable to an all B&O system and stopped obsessing over equipment and just started listening to music.

Hi Beoworlders,

Many thanks for your responses!  I am pleased to confirm that these have been added to my video review of the survey, which is online ready for you to see here:-

1. A new 46/48” Television in the style of BeoVision 10/11/14 with AppleTV 4K Compartment, maybe with improved sound, although the BV11/BV14 was already great. 

2. BeoLab 3 replacements maybe with a optional oak casing and aluminium acoustic lens and with Wisa, know the BeoLab 17’s was supposed to be the replacement but they’re not the same and this style would really compliment the range.

3. BeoLab 11 Replacement, very little change except with Wisa.

I am missing a kind of Media System, with all possible Input option (HDMI, Optical Tos, Analog Audio, Phono PreAmp) with Access to Music on my NAS and Music Streaming Services like Tidal or Apple Music, Digital Output for BeoLab Loudspeaker with Digital Input. Off course wit a nice UI and a outstanding Desgin ...

A new Version of a Turntable (Beogramm) ...Anolog is still alive ;-)

I use today 2 different Systems, for my Music System I use a Linn Klimax System with a LP12 and for my TV System a new BeoVision (Harmony), BeoLab 18 and 19.

Why not one ;-)

Maybe I should have been a little more clear on what I meant with just above. The Harmony Sound Center (incl. front) costs about 6-7 times as much as the Stage. So a Stage like Sound Center with better sound to about double the price point would be very nice. 

It would also allow the dealers to sell more speakers, as the current path for new B&O customers is Stage -> Eclipse (if it stays) or Harmony.  You loose so many people with that steep a price increase. So they never invest in a B&O products that connects to B&O speakers.
