Music system (moment) control limitations?

Nice environment - it's begging for some B&O

I'll leave to others to answer the tough questions 😁

In the future, I'd like to replace my current entertainment center with a BeoVision. STB's System 9 looks pretty neat, and I might be able to replace the electronic hutch with something more wife friendly assuming the components can be hidden behind the display. :)

My condo is pretty small. Having the above music system & a BeoVision with additional speakers in the same room is well beyond overkill. ...I'm sure that is a matter of opinion... I'd like to recycle the BL 18s by pairing them with the BeoVision, and leave moment & turntable on the other side of the room.

Would it be possible, while maintaining good UX, to apply multiple use cases on shared hardware?

Add a BL 19, and have a extremely nice 3.1 system for TV/Movies. Continue to use the moment w/ with BL18s for when I just want music.

Thanks in advance!

No problem to have the BL18 and BL19 connected to a Beovision and integrate Moment to that setup. You can (if you get at least a Beovision 11) then configure the setup so that certain speakers play when you just want to listen to Music and differently when you want to watch a movie. You can move around with the Moment tablet so that adds flexibility.

Hi Hiort -- that sounds pretty great.  Will the moment be able to interact with the two 18s without the TV powering on?

It will switch on, since the soundprocessor needs to be active. You will see e.g. Song title on the screen, but will go black after a short time.
