Its a brilliant little system - I use one at home most days - and you can use it as an ipod dock too.

I have had mine for about a year. I recently bought some beolab 4000s. The 4000s sound better but I love my beosound one and I would highly recommend the Beosound one for a small apartment. My beolabs are only for the TV and beosound one for music.

 
I live in a small apartment too and the BS1 fills the room nicely. I would also get a stand as the bass seems to be better when it is on the stand. It is a great system that packs a mean punch for it's size! B&O did a great job and the only thing it is missing is master link.
 

I auditioned both the BS1 and a Century when new. I preferred the Century and bought one. The BS1 is very good but it has no tone controls and the bass seemed to be lacking compared to the Century, despite the technical specs which would suggest otherwise.

I have to confess that it they made a link version of the BS1, I would buy one immediately though. 

I have enjoyed my BS1 for 6-7 yrs.  I've never missed the tone controls.  Definitely a nice unit for a smaller room.

The Beosound 1 can also serve as a Home Entertainment centre, by using the plug socket under the bottom of the unit. This is the same socket used for the IPOD connection.

Considering the small size containing 5 speakers inside, the stereo sound coming from a SAT TV box or DVD player is remarkable. It can even get downright loud.
