Dear all, My setup is located in my living room with a BV11, 2 BL18 and 2 BL17 + BS essence MKII. I would like to use multiroom in my bathroom (listening to news from the BV or music) but I don't know which speaker to buy and if, possibly, I should go for a play product or another essence + speaker. I went and listened to the BS1 which I disliked a lot (but I didn't listen to BS2, as my dealer didn't have it yet) so I am now thinking of the A6. Also, i could just re-use my old beosound 8 and attach an essence to it. Any thoughts about the quality of the A6 for such a purpose ? Any other ideas ? 😁Thanks a lot !KP6

Multiroom speaker for a bathroom

Since I/we don't know anything about your bathroom, it will be hard to say, whether this will fit in there or not!
Another possibility would be a second Essence 2nd gen with the remote-wheely and the speakers of you choice.
Or the BeoSound 35.

I would have thought the Beosound 1 would be perfect. Portable and Masterlink capable, if I'm not mistaken?
Personally I would avoid the A6 in s bathroom. The wool cover and moisture sounds like an extremely bad idea.
I am also looking for a bathroom speaker, but don't see any speaker in the current line-up matching my bathroom.
The BS1 or BS2 could work very well in a spacious modern bathroom.
Maybe there will be a Play product with NL in the future that could work even better.
Also, I am still hoping for a mobile outdoor speaker for garden parties.
I just removed the dock on my Beosound 8, and connected a Chromecast. I have a radio station constantly streaming to the Chromecast, that way I simply turn the BS8 on and off. I am not sure how the chromecast integration works with your current system, but I think my setup would work just like a linkroom speaker.
I am having a similar question for a room in my house. I am currently using an old Beosound 1 but also want multiroom. I have considered an A6 or the new Beosound 1. I have a pair of Beolab 4000s I could also use by adding an Essence. If I can decide how and where to place the 4000s that is probably the best option for me, considering sound quality and price. The Beosound 35 is another option but would be the most expensive option and not sure how it would sound compared to the 4000s.
I'm also thinking of adding multi room to my new bathroom, and I think the solution will be in-ceiling speakers.
to drive them, a beosound Essence MKII connected to a Beolink passive amplifier. The last question is if I should go for Beovox 2-1, 2-2, or Focal or Triangle in wall... (celestial will surely be too expensive... I'm already hesitating for the beovox as I'm not sure there is enough value for money, but I have nowhere to listen to either Beovox or Focal or Triangle in wall...)
While this isn't a NL solution, this could be an inexpensive and fun thing to try: A BeoPlay A1 paired with an Echo Dot. You could hang the A1 from a hook on the wall and it would be moisture-resistant. You could place the Echo Dot as far from moisture as possible. You would have complete voice control. For example, you could say "Alexa, play Jimmy Hendrix from Spotify" or "Alexa, increase the volume."
The key with any bathroom solution is to avoid physical contact with any device that is connected with the mains.
