I actually changed my mind and have cancelled my Core order.

I see that by integrating my BS1 with BV11 I could cover most of my usecases reasonably convenient.

I have my record player that I have no solution for, but I use it so seldom so it’s not worth the investment in a Core.

Will put the Moment money aside and see what the future brings.

I spoke to a dealer ladt week and B&O have made it clear that they will not make any more Beosound 9000 / Beosound 5 / Moment expensive type devices. Think little streaming boxes like the Core.

Thanks for that tip - really helpful.

I do find it annoying that they remove the Core from the list - unless you're inb a home with **a lot** of devices - and need to keep the product list manageable, the 'linked' approach they use with the Moment seems perfectly usable to me.

Hey ho ... if there really is no future for standalone audio master products ... then I guess the Core platform will be truly built into the devices ... which this UI approach suggests.

Really sucks that casual users can't easily play music though ... thinking hotels, guest rooms etc ... other than a Bluetooth stream.
