New audio

I agree....

About time huh. This is way overdue IMO.

Although I will more than likely buy one, it's probably almost past its due date before it has been released

Yes definitely late to the party.

Gald to see it will have some muscle, it looks like it will have a decent level of output. Probably a little wider than necessary though. Those pegs/feet on the back side will certainly chatter on hard surfaces if they themselves are a hard material. To me this dock seems to be aimed towards performance (to be expected I suppose 😎) compared to the rest of them, most of the docks out there have tiny drivers.

Overall, I'm excited.

Oh, and thanks for psting the pictures!

One other thing I noticed... Possible MasterLink and PowerLink connecters?

Oh what another piece of ***

Looks a really nice design - I hope its Wi Fi  ready for  Net radio and DAB+ for digital Radio, If its just a MP3 Player  dock - Its too late , in the market  everyone has already bought  another brand. 

WiFi is part of the package. This product will most likely replace the BeoSound 1 when it is launched later this year. Customers today buy Bose w/dock instead of the BS1, this product should have been on sale today - not closer to Xmas.

Is this the audio product that will talk to BM5/BS5? I thought we would get another full blown audio system ....

Anyhow, if they price it like a BS1 it probably will do well.

I wouldn't want to judge the design from the drawing, I am sure in flesh it's awesome.

WOW...that is one ugly piece of audio equipment...πŸ™‚

I think that the Beolab 11 drawing above don't show it as a nice product, but it turns out that most people love it.

I think we should wait to see the real thing before making such judgments.

p.

I have the suspicion that it comes with an Iphone app that lets you control your beolink sources and i know for sure some peeps here will be all over it for that ..... 

There are no buttons on that thing ....
