>>New Audio Products ? <<
Question is what would that be?
The thing that worries me is that B&O face a real huge dilemma over a new audio product. Clearly CDs are out. They can't produce a system with a manual scroll wheel as everyone is used to using their fingers to navigate their smartphone/tablet.
Their dilemma will be this: B&O have a track history of poor software. They simply do not have the software resources to create a touch-screen audio system. If they did, they'd have to license Windows 8 or another touch-screen OS. And how much do they charge for this device? If it's an Encore without the wheel, it's basically an iPad with connectors to B&O speakers. There's no way they could charge the regular B&O prices as there's barely any manufacturing involved. Hence the dilemma.
Someone wrote in another thread that B&O won't produce a new audio system. This could be very true. The only device I can think of is a touch-screen Encore, without wheel, but they lack the resources to do it - others do it much better.
The picture on Facebook shows a spotlight shining on the floor. So I would expect a floor standing speaker or a maybe (hopefully) a Audio system on a stand.

Maybe it's a quasi iPod dock that has a controller and hooks into your network. Somewhat like the encore but instead of the encore screen it uses an iPod / tablet but has the scroll wheel and appIt might be floor standing and hooks up to a master which distributes audio wherever. On the other note the Bose system is actually pretty good that it allows you to plug 3rd party equipment be it your own blu ray etc. A surround sound system, is a good thought. They sell well.
Its not unfortunately. Surround sound system, one designed for us the Beonites and another for everybody else. £3-3,500.
Earphones buds and cans to follow, buds exclusively designed for Paul W😐
So i don't think they will launch it on the same spotlightplace how the BV11....
I'm thinking the same... It's too fancy for "just" a shiny Beoplay product. And rumble sounds like a big speaker?
Does anybody know when it will be launched? Any date?
Say hello to Mr. BeoPlay.
