Yep, agree - if space/size isn't a problem then A9 every time. Good choice.

But it's all about what it's for and where it's to be used. I have an A6 and it is great, I just love the design of the BS2 and for my use, the sound quality of BS2 was just right - for a multi room speaker mainly lower listening levels in a kitchen diner. I do like a bit of base (electronic music) though!!

Is it worth me changing, probably not - but I probably will 😕

I was looking for BS2, but yesterday I found a good deal of Beolab 8000, now struggling again ! I guess Beolab 8000 is totally a different thing from Beosound, right ?

Totally different , yes.

If you don´t know the difference I recommend some googling.

Beolab 8000 : Active speakers that require a source.

BS2: Speaker (mono) with builtin sources.

Location: Sweden

I listened to it again yesterday in my local store. It's very impressive sound wise and looks fantastic. You shouldn't be disappointed.
