Hello all. Following the suggestion by @benoit in the 'New Beovision' thread I've started this. And I'll kick it off...I have heard a new audio system is coming which resembles a small, 1ft tall, Beolab 20. Where the top (I.e. Where the acoustic lens is) is essentially the same functionality as an Essence Remote. Don't know much more.

A follow-up from yesterday's conversation with my dealer, then:Two new B&O-branded (as in "not B&O Play") sound products on the way. Do not have much information about them. Both are (unsurprisingly) Beolink Multiroom enabled. Apparently one of them is in the form of an all-aluminium cone. This might be the product you have heard of, I suppose.Also, in addition to these, the B&O Play team is supposedly working on a smaller Beolink Multiroom enabled speaker. I have been complaining to my dealer that the A6 is too big to replace my Beolit 12 in the window post on my kitchen. I need something smaller, with multi room. The ideal solution, I think, would be a new Beolit, identical in design to the 12/15. He confirmed that this was being worked on, but I didn't ask him specifically if this was a new identical Beolit or a whole new design. The only thing I know for sure is that it's B&O Play-branded, smaller than the A6, and has Beolink Multiroom. -h.
I'd love a smaller multiroom speaker. Then it would be a real competitor to Sonos and you could throw them all over the pace (I have a friend who has Sonos speakers all over his apt in Brooklyn and it sounds incredible)! As long as the app gets a lot better! Maybe the merging of Beolink app and Beomusic app I've heard about will make a huge improvement. 😕
Interesting topic. I haven't heard about any new beosound. I hope for advance on the moment. And I know the apps are always being updated. Unfortunately I bet they keep the Beolink and beomusic apps separated because the Beolink app gives the blgw some uniqueness.
The Beosound app is desperately in need of some love, yes. What have you heard? I haven't used the Beolink app myself. What new features could a user of the beosound app expect from that merger?-h.
In the latest B&O 90 Years Design Book recently published (I cant get access to mine right now), there is a photo of a aluminium cone Beosound which never saw the light of day.
In concept, it looked like a cross between the control wheel of a BeoSound 5 and an Essence. No display. I wonder if this is getting re-worked?
I don't have the book so I'd love it if someone posted it here and this might whet the appetite!This and a smaller version of the Beolab 90 and I am good to go!
This maybe ? Login to view image
Bingo!
That's the one.....but cant see the unit having a CD/DVD/BR player today?
Also cant see another circular remote outside the BeoRemote1 and Essences controller.
Whatever it is....All I hope is that it can drive my BL90's properly.
Right now the Moment does not and the most advanced B&O player that can is a 2009 Beosound 5.
