thanks for your detailed reply. I can say the new beosound 6 is quite attractive. But most important is the sound quality.

I look forward to a detail comparison between BS2 and BS6. thanks a lot. 

I was in the B&O shop today and had a look at the BS-6.  It is light and lacks the "heft" of the BS-2.  My other initial impressions were that:

1.  it appears intended for use by right-handed people as I had difficulty using the volume control with my left hand, unlike the BS-2

2.  for me, the control buttons of the BS-6 did not have the same tactile feel as the BS-2

3.  I did not like the shiny finish which reflected the light into my eyes as I was trying to view the screen

4.  I agree with the previous posts about the top of the case not closing completely

5.  the BS-6 didn't sound better than the BS-2 -- but I only tested the BS-6 for about 5 minutes [listening to "Maneater", "Close to You" and "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence"]

6.  The back side of the BS-6 is labled "Samsung" while the front is "B&O" so if I hold up the BS-6 to use the controls, the people facing me will only know that it is a "Samsung" -- am I being snotty?

Perhaps not sufficient time to properly test the BS-6, but I remain to be impressed.  Sorry.

thanks. somehow i agree with some of your points...

the samsung name is too confusing on a B&O, and it is quite unnecessary.

Also, I have tried for around 5 minutes too, i do not think it sound better than beosound 2. But I hope ... there is a more detailed review.

thanks a lot.
