Hi Soundproof and BeoCool. Oh my gosh I love that story - no wonder they were excited when they saw BeoLab 5's!!! Sounds like you have a FAB set up.

Yes this idea of iPods and parties is catching on fast. Slightly 'older' people at work are also experiencing it at parties!!! Really great idea as the classix at friday evenings party simply flowed AND OF COURSE no jumping from sticky CDs!!! Just got DJay for my MacBook which is an amazing DJ package for less than £40!

I had a demo of this today in the north west and it was better than i expected. I thought the Zeppelin was great, and good value for money but this is in another league(and made by B&O)

Another purchase lined up for the near future.

So I had a demo yesterday.

Sound quality was really great. Especially the sound characteristic of the heights really was very similar to the Beolab 3. Due to the missing acoustic lens the area where sound was perfect was limited to something around 60 degree (as espected).

The black plastic attracted dust, but this is no problem because I wanted to go for the white version.

The missing airplay is not such a big deal, because I can hook up an airport express - and who knows, maybe sometime in the future there will be an airplay adapter that fits on the dock connector - on engadget there was one anounced today that can be hooked up to a car stereo.

I to had a demo today, and(like everybody else) was very impressed with the performance. 

I have a white on order and hope to receive it before christmas. I think B&O will have a real hit with this one. The pricing is REALLY good.

I heard it today: it s simili AMZING. Ok there is not AirPlay... But c'mon... B&o it's simply the top for the speakers... And these are beautiful and with an amzing sounde

I think Paul has nailed it on the head, its a now product for a newer generation. Was it really 30 years ago i would take some lps to a party ??? (@ least !) I heard a bs8 live in my dealers on Friday, it has a fantastic sound !

As a student, I still take vinyl to parties - got a fair few friends who are into it (along with myself)!

Despite being 20, I still find myself listening to vinyl more and more. In fact I'm about to replace the tonearm on my Rega Planar 3 today as part of a christmas present.

Clearly these are going to sell like hotcakes :)

I went in to B&O Camberwell on the weekend and asked them if they have a model for demo.  They advised me that they don't have a model, although they have heard it and people are just ordering one.

Well that being the base and being sound is so personal, i think you would need to audition one to ensure it's good.

Does this mean the end to the BS1?
