Yes, I received our first samples yesterday. Opens up a whole new wireless world for those with older BeoLab speakers, with the exception of BeoLab 5s...

I wonder if the bm 5 will be wisa one dayWe can use it in airplay with the shairport4w app so it shouldn't be so complicated for b&o to do it.
???
I guess you mean that the BM5 should be able to act as a WiSA transmitter!? To allow wireless connection to the speakers.
Please tell me why you mention 'shareport4w', which is a 'receiver' (an AirPlay emulator) , that can be installed on a pc (and perhaps on the BM5).
One thing is sending sound from - the other thing is receiving an AirPlay stream.
WiSA needs hardware to work. And that hardware could easily be built into the BM5 - if B&O wanted to do so.

Hi MMThe bm5 should probably treat a wisa signal and act as a reveiver and send wisa with external hardware.
You mean to replace the MasterLink???

Too bad it needs its own power cable. Can't they make a splitter or some device that makes it able to tap into the power already running to the Beolab speaker.
Edit: It even needs a power adaptor. They could have made it slightly bigger and built it in (think Apple TV). That is a mess of cables and small black plastic boxes, difficult to hide.
